- Version 1.23.2 - Fixed a compatibility issue on Steam Deck - 4 August 2025
Hey everyone! Fixed a compatibility issue on Steam Deck that could cause the game to softlock before a battle. This was due to missing GPU extensions in the Steam Deck's runtime environment. The issue has been resolved by improving fallback behavior for systems with limited WebGL support. 🙏 We apologize for the inconvenience and sincerely thank you for your continued support!
- Numina 1.23.0 - Achievements Fix & Improvements - 25 February 2025
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: https://i.imgur.com/ZXYsJJM.png 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…
- Issues with Steam Achievements - 14 February 2025
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.

- Update notes for v1.20 - 14 September 2023
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
- Free Update - Meow! - 11 May 2023
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…

- Numina ECHOES - The final goodbye 🎵 - 15 March 2023
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 a…
- Numina Part II - Releasing March 16th - 12 March 2023
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/ This has been a long time coming and I'm so excited to share Part II with a…

- Update notes for v1.18 - 2 March 2023
There have been quite a lot of updates in the last months, most of them directly resulting out of finding bugs & improvements from the betatest of Numina Part II, which I'm excited to announce very soon! v1.18 comes with another big bag of many useful updates I'd like to share with you: "Story" Battle Difficulty now also affects enemy barriers to be single hit. Chapter 1, Overhauled Mimic boss fight. Instead of a drawn-out tedious long battle, the Mimic now actually uses a new skill called "Mimicry" which copies attacks used against it. Reworked the way some accessories work that change character weaknesses. Previously it was quite confusing because of how these elemental weaknesses stack. Chapter 1, Add new quest log entries in Caelum to make it clearer where to head next in-between play sessions. Chapter 2, Lamp Post Riddle. Add a hint after several failed guesses. Restricted Menu Acc…

The time for our last goodbye will soon come... Today I have a little teaser for Numina Part II for you! I'll soon post more detailled news on its release. Please look forward to it 🙂
- Free Update - Battle Outfits 🎭 - 23 January 2023
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 alre…
- January Dev Update - It's Testing Season! - 15 January 2023
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」 wi…
