About
Orna blends the nostalgia of classic 8-bit JRPGs with modern GPS technology, turning the real world around you into a sprawling MMORPG. Step outside to claim landmarks, or battle endless hordes of monsters right from your home in this deeply customizable, location-based adventure. With over 50 unlockable classes and robust base-building mechanics, it is a genre-defying experience.
Story
Years ago, the great deity Mammon triggered 'The Falling,' a cataclysmic event that shrouded the lands in darkness and chaos. As a Traveler of the Unfelled, you must embark on a grand adventure across your very own town to seek peace and restore light to this fractured world.
Gameplay
Engage in classic, menu-driven turn-based combat against visible overworld monsters that spawn based on your real-world time and terrain. Progression is driven by a satisfying loop of slaying foes, looting gear, and unlocking new class tiers using the in-game 'Orns' currency. You can also build an Origin Town, tackle dungeon bosses, and team up for asynchronous global raids.

💡 Did You Know?
Monsters spawn continuously around you, meaning you can play heavily without even leaving your couch.
Your 'Origin Town' is completely portable and features privacy settings to obscure your real-world home location from other players.
When you die in the overworld, there is only a brief 5-minute cooldown, making exploration low-risk and highly forgiving.
Factions are locked behind elemental choices (Fire, Water, Earth, Lightning), creating an intense, rock-paper-scissors team rivalry system.
Once unlocked, skills can persist across different classes if weapon requirements are met, allowing for wild, custom hybrid builds.
