Leafko

Leafko is an episodic RPG where players explore dungeons taken over by nature, each with unique gimmicks, secrets, and items. Combat is simplified turn-based with classic mechanics like equipping weapons and magic-wielding plants. Quick-time events influence the environment, adding depth to both exploration and combat. 

Set in a forest where plants had become sentient, the world centers around plant kingdoms between different types of plants: leaves, flowers, fruits, and nuts. Each location has its own history and secrets.

In each chapter, Leafko is joined by a new companion with unique abilities, offering varied strategies. Unlike other RPGs, the player controls only Leafko and her partner, focusing on individual character stories and conflicts. Each chapter has its own theme, with gameplay ranging from adventure to puzzles or stealth.

In the magic forest of Forestia, sentient plants called Herbaes have built kingdoms rooted in nature. When an insecure girl named Leafko is chosen as the new priestess, she must lead the sacred Blossoming Ceremony, a sacred rite that renews the life. But a dark force corrupts the ritual, withering both the forest and her body.

To lift the curse, Leafko must retrieve four ancient relics, face her deepest fears, and uncover the hidden truths of Forestia. Guided by different companions, her journey becomes a fight not just to save the forest, but to finally believe in herself.

Leafko was initially released as a free early access game between 2022 and 2024. A full release is expected on Steam in 2026, offering an expanded story and refined gameplay.
