Story and setting
Edge of Memories takes place on Avaris, a continent threatened by the Corrosion — a plague that mutates wildlife, vegetation and people. You play as Eline, described by the developer as an itinerant Soul Whisperer who can interact with and, at times, control the Corrosion that has infected parts of her world. The narrative promises a darker, more intimate story than the team’s previous Edge of Eternity, with themes of exile, survival and the cost of wielding a corrupting power.
How it plays
Midgar Studio has confirmed the game is a real‑time, third‑person action RPG rather than a turn‑based JRPG; combat footage and developer commentary show dynamic, direct control over Eline with combos, transformation states and reactive music that shifts with encounters. The studio and publisher describe a single‑player experience with no online features announced, and trailers and hands‑on coverage highlight exploration, combat against Corrosion‑infected enemies and a progression system tied to memory fragments and evolving abilities.
