Description
Turn-based battles against wild Egos in a dream dimension under the world. Hit weaknesses, talk Egos into joining you, stitch two into a new one and clear ten Mansions. 90 Egos, 10 bosses, parties and duels.
- Turn-based battles in a room of their own. Touch or hit a wild Ego to start; wild Egos within 10 blocks of it join in (4 foes at most). Mansion bosses fight alone. Other mobs are not changed.
- 90 wild Egos and 10 Mansion bosses, each with its own model, animations, level, stats, skills and affinities.
- 11 elements: Strike, Pierce, Flame, Frost, Volt, Gale, Mind, Flux, Radiance, Umbra, Void. A weakness or a critical knocks a foe Down and you act again (One More).
- When every foe is Down: Ego Rush (finishing cut-in), Parley (talk one into joining you) or Shakedown (emeralds or essence).
- The Reverie: a dimension reached with the Ego Lens, six climates, giant manors, citadels, cathedrals, opera houses and sky manors with loot chests.
- Ten Mansions, one every 10 player levels: jump courses with checkpoints, a hall of guards, hiding spots and a boss.
- Ottilie Thimble's Seam Parlor: stitch two Egos into a new one, buy Egos from her stall, or punish an Ego for its essence.
- Player level apart from your Egos: 3 stat points per level for STR, MAG, END, AGI and LUK.
- Parties of up to 4 with a name and a logo; duels from 1v1 to 4v4.
- 6 weapon types in 11 elements (66 recipes), tonics, draughts and charged vials; essences drop from Egos.
- Victory and defeat cut-ins with a results screen (EXP, items, bonus).
- Starter kit on first join: field guide, Ego Lens, Phantom Knife and Soul Revolver.
- English and Indonesian.

1. Read the field guide you get on first join.
2. Right-click the Ego Lens to cross into the Reverie. The first use lets you choose your first Ego.

4. Win, recruit with Parley, and level up. Talk to Ottilie Thimble (G > Find Ottilie) to stitch Egos.
5. At player level 10 the first Mansion opens.

- Turn order follows agility. Your active Ego stands beside you for the whole fight.
- Weaknesses you have hit stay marked on that Ego.
- After getting up a foe is **Steady**: it cannot go Down again until it has had a turn.
- Status ailments such as Scorch, Rime, Jolt, Drowse, Dread and Puppet.
- Parley: only the last Ego standing, Down and under 10% HP, will listen. Four tempers (gloomy, irritable, timid, upbeat) like different answers. Bosses never talk.
- Egos gain EXP and level up on their own. Skills cost SP or HP.

- Behind each door: a jump course, a hall of guards, a harder course, then the boss.
- Fall and you wake at the last checkpoint, unharmed. Platforms that turn red are about to vanish.
- Hiding: look at a wardrobe, curtain or vase within 3.5 blocks and press H. You leap in and vanish; Egos and mobs lose you until you step out. Step out next to one for an Upper Hand.
Ottilie Thimble wanders the overworld; nothing can hurt or push her. Talk to her to enter the Seam Parlor:
- **Stitch:** two Egos become a new one.
- **Random Stitch:** her stall sells Egos, common and rare, and restocks over time.
- **Punish:** cut an Ego apart for good and keep its essence. Your last Ego cannot be punished.
- **Ego Lens:** echo shard, 2 amethyst shards, 2 lapis lazuli.
- **Weapons:** Phantom Knife, Ink Saber, Reverie Blade (Strike); Soul Revolver, Ink Carbine, Phantom Rifle (Fire). Each is crafted around an essence and takes its element.
- **Battle items:** Ink Tonic, Soul Draught, Reverie Elixir, Lucid Salts, Rekindle Quill, Bloodstone Ampoule, Iron Varnish, Quicksilver Vial, Smoke Mirror and 11 Charged Vials.
- Clerics sell the tonics and draughts; wandering traders sell some Charged Vials and the Smoke Mirror.
- Mansion furniture (wardrobe, curtain, vase, candelabra, portrait, armchair) can be crafted for your own builds.
- Party of up to 4: invite, ask to join, kick, pass the lead, rename, pick a logo. Party members nearby fight with you.
- Duels from 1v1 to 4v4 from the DUEL tab.
- Install on both the client and the server.
1. Install the loader for your version: Forge 1.21.1, or Fabric Loader for 26.2 / 26.3.
2. Put the jar for your version and its requirements (above) in your `mods` folder.
3. Servers need the same jar and requirements. Players joining a server need the mod too.
