Hello, everyone!
In our last developer interview, we mentioned that we added distinct landmarks so that players can easily remember them.
For today’s Dev Notes, we’d like to introduce some of those hidden landmarks scattered across the world of Fatal Claw.
Each landmark was created with its own story, so that when you stumble across one in-game, you’ll instinctively think, "Ah, I’m in that area now!"
[Stories Within the Landmarks]
The underground world of Fatal Claw isn’t just a backdrop.
Every region carries the weight of time and story in the form of landmarks.
These places, where you may stop to gaze, whisper ancient breaths and lingering mysteries.
We’ve compiled records of some key landmarks you’ll discover. Let’s explore them together!
#Kannir Drilling Site
Origin Screen
Scattered across the underworld, these giant screens exist to broadcast something.
You’ll often see flickering ads or broken messages, but age has reduced them to fractured signals.
On the other hand, their very incompleteness sparks more imagination and stories.
Automata Workshop
From afar, you can spot automata tirelessly working to extract Kannir.
Nearby, cylinders filled with Kannir fluid are stacked high, leaving no doubt: this is a true extraction site in full operation.
#Ashen Valley
Nagaraja’s Corpse
The colossal skull of a mythical beast lies here, enduring centuries of erosion.
Those who approach the entrance are struck by an uneasy fear, unable to take a step forward.
Yet this fear is precisely what provokes a burning urge to challenge it, serving as the intersection of dread and curiosity.
The Well
Chains hang at its mouth, and strange fluid has seeped deep into its stones, radiating an ominous aura.
Though small and unassuming, the moment you face it, you can’t help but pause and think: “Ah… right, there was a well here.”
A minor landmark, but one that fixes itself as a waypoint of memory along the path.
#Strigine Quarry
Hydrangea Field
At the edge of a wind-lashed cliff lies a blooming field of hydrangeas.
A flower field in the desolate underground world feels out of place, a strange beauty that doesn’t belong.
And at its center, crouched low, lurks a bug-like silhouette... but what could it be?
#Elord Castle
Arcadia
Deep inside the castle stands a mysterious high-tech device.
Its mechanical structure and refined engineering prove that this world is far from ordinary.
Nearby, remains of Owls suggest this device was never just ornamental—it had purpose.
A Statue
Ensnared by infected plants, this statue looks like a forgotten memory left to decay.
Step closer, and a strangely familiar face emerges, leaving behind an uncanny sense of déjà vu.
Who does this statue resemble? And what hidden story does it hold?
#Higasha Tundra
Shrine Entrance
Beyond the bamboo groves, on a snow-covered land, stands a silent shrine.
Its entrance is carved with strange patterns, but it's unclear which deity it honors.
But that very mystery ignites the imagination, stirring anticipation of the new adventures waiting ahead.
Bamboo Grove
Once you start seeing bamboo stalks appear, you know you’ve reached the grove.
While bamboo may not seem like a grand landmark, here it becomes a natural guidepost.
Spot the grove nearby? Follow its flow, and you won’t lose your way.
💠Wrapping Up
The landmarks we introduced today serve as witnesses of this world’s past.
They act as memorable signposts for players, as well as stages for the unfolding narrative.
To bring you those moments of discovery, we continue to design, refine, and build with great care.
When you finally encounter them during your own journey, we hope you’ll feel that instant moment of recognition.
Look forward to seeing them in action during your adventures. 🙂
