Nova of Corruption is an adult fantasy adventure by DarkestNavi, made with Others and featuring animated 2D and 3D CG artwork. You begin as a princess and heir to the throne, whose kingdom is under attack by a demonic horde. To survive, she flees into the castle’s underground dungeon and calls upon NYX, a mysterious guardian of the true royal line who practices forbidden sorcery. The story asks whether she can retake her throne and rescue her family, while the gameplay focuses on choosing a path and assembling a magic deck, with combat and corruption themes shaping the run.
The current release is Public Alpha 0.14C, dated May 3, 2026, so development is still ongoing. It runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux in English, without censorship. The latest update adds the new Arcane Village, where players can explore a fresh area and meet four playable characters: Jessie in the first town, plus Daisy, Kalena, and Alexa in Arcane Town. Players can reach it through a portal near the first town, or by choosing the ACT II map at the beginning of a run.
