Hey everyone!
I've just released a new update that contains a fix for the Steam Achievements that weren't unlocking porperly and some Quality of Life improvements for Part 2.
Steam Achievements Fix
Make sure to update the game and verify that the version number is displaying 1.23.0 and "Connected to Steamworks" in the lower right corner of the title menu:
Sadly, Achievements you missed won't be unlocked automatically after this update. You might have to replay certain parts again to actually unlock them. I'm very sorry for the inconvenience this causes.
Sheol Quality of Life
The Red Desert has been quite frustrating for some players because of how easy it is to lose the path and get reset back.
I've changed the mechanics to instead deal some amount of damage to the party over time, once you get off the path instead of immediately teleporting the player to the last safe area. That way the desert is more forgiving and gives you more time to find your way back.
Ship Investigations
Without going too much into spoiler territory, this change makes it easier to solve a riddle in a certain questline in Part 2. I've made a bit easier by removing the necessity to talk to certain people to start things off.
As always thank you very much for supporting Numina. Even if there aren't as many regular updates as in the beginning I'm still actively checking your comments, feedbacks and impressions of the game and improving it when I have the time ✨
Thank you all!

Hey everyone,
I wanted to address an issue that has been discovered recently: Achievements in Numina are currently not unlocking as they should. First of all, I’m really sorry for the inconvenience!
This is due to a technical issue related to the aging technology behind Numina. Even back when the game released, integrating the Achievements was already a challenge due to the involved technologies.
I want you to know that I’m actively looking into a solution. However, given the nature of the issue, it might take some time. I truly appreciate your patience and support, and I’ll keep you posted as soon as I have any updates!
Thank you for sticking with Numina – it means the world to me.

Hello everyone,
It's been a while since the last update notes. Since the last update there have been some smaller fixes, mostly related to Part II.
I listened to the feedback I've received over the last few months and decided to change some minor things in the Sheol area, later in Part II. There is now one less map with the tricky navigation minigame. You still have to traverse it and can search the wastes of Sheol for treasure, but now without worrying a bit less about getting lost.
Other fixes in this update:
- Fixed some characters appearing in endings were they shouldn't be
- Passability Fixes
- Minor Translation fixes & improvements

Hello everyone!
It's been almost 2 months now since Numina Part II's release. I can't say enough how much this milestone has meant to me and how grateful I am. After working hard on completing Numina for months I took a long break after Part II's release and only now, I slowly start to realize that it's actually over 😅
And I have to say in all honesty that I miss it a bit - working on the game, the story, the characters... So apart from bug fixing I couldn't help but also work on some smaller things, like this little free update I wanted to share with you today: A new battle costume for Shawn! Introducing: Cat Shawn! 🐱
The new costume is available as part of Numina Part I, near the beginning of the second chapter. The image above contains a hint as to where you might be able find it 😄
I've already started working on whatever's coming next, but I'm also not sure if I'm completely done with Numina 🙂 You can get any news on future projects or updates on our official Discord server!
Until then, thank you all again for your support and I hope you continue to enjoy the game!

Story time!
I’ve always been a huge fan of credits/outro themes, be it for games or animes. Especially if the lyrics connected to the game. Back in 2017 when I released the first English demo of Numina I knew I wanted something similar for the game so I found a (at least back then) CC Commons song called “Rain Begins to Fall” by “Silence is Sexy” which I really liked.
The lyrics talk about dealing with a darker time in life, trauma or pain (the rain) and that it’s not always sunshine and that’s okay. There’ll always be a time when the rain comes - or begins to fall. I thought it really encapsulated Shawn’s story arc in that demo about dealing with loss. I even changed the in-game ending a bit to include rainfall just before the final scene to tie in the theme, which is a bit cringey if I think about it now, ahaha 🙈
Fast-forward to 2022. During the lockdown I’ve picked up music making as a hobby and it was a real joy discovering this new creative outlet. Up to that point Thomas J. Peters had done most of Numina’s soundtrack (and what an amazing job he has done!) For the credits of Numina Part I we decided on re-using the Part I trailer theme during the credits. But I knew that I wanted something more impactful for the final credits of Part I and so the song Echoes was born.
It was a huge undertaking and finishing the song took me over a year, from the composing stage to actually writing lyrics and then collaborating with a very talented singer. Sometimes I find it hard to believe that I actually did all of it, but I’m very proud of the song and that it’s something special.
Echoes is a break-up song, but as Numina deals with your relationship as a player with the game itself, I found it fitting to be a song about saying goodbye - to the game. To Shawn as his Guardian Spirit and the world of Alterna. It made a lot of sense as a credits theme but I also wanted it to be epic so that I could use it as a trailer theme. I think it gave the trailers for Part II a real edge 🙂
You can get the song as part of the Numina「ECHOES」OST release. A bundle of 19 tracks that I worked on for both Part I & II => https://store.steampowered.com/app/2264250/NuminaECHOESSoundtrack/
Numina Part II is almost here, and I can’t wait for all of you to play it and read your reactions!

Yeaaaaaah I'm so happy to announce that NUMINA Part II will release March 16th here on Steam, itch.io and the Epic Games Store.
Since July last year, I've been working hard on the conclusion to the grand story started in Part I. I knew I wanted to reiterate and extend on a lot of content that I've already finished and I think in the end, it'll really pay off.
Numina Part II is around 6-7 hours long and contains 4 endings. Here on Steam, it will be available as DLC for the base game for $2.99. See the product page NOW => https://store.steampowered.com/app/1954900/Numina__Part_2/
Also the "Echoes OST" just released, containing all the music I worked on for Numina, including the trailer theme ECHOES of which I'm very proud of! Please check it out => https://store.steampowered.com/app/2264250/NuminaECHOESSoundtrack/

Hello everyone,
I just released a free update for Numina with a new feature: Battle Outfits! These are special outfits only for battle that you can unlock during your adventure through side quests or story missions.
Numina Part I gets two costumes for Shawn and one for each other party member! Most of them unlockable near the end of Part I. A popular favorite: Princess Shawn!
Part II will feature more costumes for each character. Most of them unlockable through exploration or side quests. I always wanted there to be something else apart from new equipment or items as a reward for exploring the world of Alterna 🙂
You might wonder why these costumes are limited to battle, which is mostly because it's quite an undertaking even just creating all the battle poses for individual characters. If I'd expand that to all cutscenes across the game, I'd probably never get Part II out 😂
If you already played through Part I before this update you'll automatically receive the costumes that you'll get through the main story at the start of Part II, once it releases.
The update's out now! Get ready to dress up 😁
More details on Numina Part II's release in the next update!

Hello everyone,
It's Devlog time again! The first of the year and I want to talk to you about Numina Part II's testing progress and share a little bit about a small upcoming update!
Numina Part II - Alpha Test Progress
With 4 possible endings and many scenes having permutations from previous choices, you can imagine that Part II is a beast to test. Nonetheless we're making good progress. A few testers have already finished their test routes and together we've already found and fixed many bugs.
I'm still working on the 4th ending, which goes in a completely different direction from the others, so hopefully I'll be able to finish that one soon, so we can officially start the beta phase, where all the content should be ready to be tested.
If you're interested in testing Numina Part II: NOW is the time! Join our official Discord! (link)
Last Day of Autumn
The special OST release 「ECHOES」 will soon be ready for release! More details on that in the next update. Until then, I want to share another track from the OST that's really special to me:
"Last Day of Autumn" was one of the last tracks I composed for Part II. It's a very melancholic and somewhat sad piece and listening to it makes me a little emotional 🥲
I know it sounds a bit cheesy. But the feeling that all of this is coming to an end, not only in the context of which the song plays in the game, but also the project itself... It's a bittersweet feeling. Like saying goodbye to something warm and familiar, or waking up from a lovely dream and facing the uncertain future. A mood that this song really encompasses for me.
I hope you like it too! The next update will see the final preview of the song I'm probably most proud of from this OST. I can't wait to share it with you.
Upcoming Update
I'm currently also finishing up a small feature update for Numina Part I. It's something that was developed for Part II but I also wanted to include it in Part I. It's nothing groundbreaking new, but rather a small addition to collectibles & battles to make them maybe a bit more fun 😉
More on that in the next update. See you all soon, back in Numina!
