Exanima

Exanima is a category of isometric role-playing games on PC in which the camera is fixed above the character, but can be zoomed in for a detailed look at objects and objects, and can be removed for better combat. This project exploits the theme of the dark Middle Ages, so the arsenal of the player-controlled character consists mainly of ranged and melee weapons (bows, crossbows, throwing spears). In terms of complexity and darkness, this RPG can be equated to Dark Souls, adjusted for the top view. The peculiarity of the game lies not in the setting, leveling up, weapons or armor, but in the realistic model of physical interaction, which concerns literally everything. Physics is everywhere, and it works differently everywhere. For example, objects surrounding the player, such as boxes, barrels, and others, break when hit. The doors, in turn, open when you hover over them, hold down the mouse button, and drag the mouse up or down, simulating real-life interaction. Physics in Exanima is also present in battles. For example, in order to inflict a more noticeable kick on the enemy, the main character needs to make a slight acceleration, but in this case the character may trip and fall. Using the same principle, you can knock down some doors and damage the enemies behind them. By the way, enemies can be thrown off a cliff or pushed onto a metal stake sticking out of the wall.
