Description

Elemental Flow is a modern role-playing game (RPG) with conversation encounters instead of battles. Explore an empathetic story about growth, identity, shared experiences and change.

Encounters are active and involve the player using a variety of elemental abilities which involve talking, listening and thinking, with the right timing and execution to carry out a form of symbolic, active conversation. At the same time, the player must observe the patterns and preferences of the other character, adapting and allowing them to express themselves, all with the ultimate goal of reaching a mutual understanding.

Inspired by classic and modern RPGs, Elemental Flow is filled with different abilities you can equip to suit your preference, encounters with varying challenge levels, colourful characters to meet, and an interesting world to explore through a variety of activities.

Inhabit an alternative Solarpunk setting which envisions self-sustainable commonships with free movement and a waste-not library economy. The game follows Clara, a young woman returning to Buenos Aires-inspired Jacarandá to figure out her place in the world.

A demo version of Elemental Flow will be available on Steam from Nov. 5th.

History

Tea-Powered Games was founded in 2013 by Florencia Minuzzi and Destina Connor, with a vision of expanding both the narratives which are told and the mechanics which are explored in games (because the two are intimately entwined). Their first game is Dialogue: A Writer’s Story, which explores both the writing and research process through novel conversation mechanics. Their second game, Elemental Flow, uses elemental abilities as a form of symbolic, active conversation, with the ultimate goal of reaching an understanding with other people.
