Released Revitalus Immortalis

Several years have passed since the events of Nuzlockology.

Kanto and Johto have become almost completely uninhabitable.

Most of the Pokemon population has been wiped.

Former residents (at least, the surviving ones) have been hightailing it out of Kanto/Johto for new beginnings.

Those who could only evacuate on land would manage to make it all the way to Kalos in the far north...if they were lucky enough to make it all the way.

The rest who couldn't travel as far, have taken refuge in a lone city, hundreds of miles north of Kanto/Johto, and still hundreds more away from the safety of Kalos.

The now socially & economically divided city of Ridgefield sets the tone for this sequel to Nuzlockology.

As for Axis, our mysterious hooded psychic protagonist...

...most of his Pokemon have been taken from the mortal world over time, and now only one surviving team member remains.

Help our cloaked hero save mankind AND monkind in...

REVITALUS IMMORTALIS


About

As Dr. Axis Vactaire, you and your only remaining Pokemon, have taken refuge inside an abandoned, ransacked, decrepit, Ruined Factory in a closed down industrial park just outside a big city, divided into multiple districts. Whilst sheltering inside the factory, you come across what appears to be an abandoned Pokemon experiment in stasis inside a machine.

You deduce that the machine requires a certain kind of medicine (and enough of it too). So, with your Pokemon partner in tow, you take to the streets of Ridgefield, curious to learn more about how the unfortunate events previously plaguing Kanto & Johto have started to take hold in this colossal urban oasis in the middle of otherwise nothingness.

Lore, and details aside, you just have have to collect a certain amount of an item to complete your primary objective. Sounds simple, right?

Well not exactly.

Corporate-owned Poke Marts don't sell Revives anymore, particularly in Ridgefield, where the sale, possession, and use of this medicine is outlawed.

And you can always just catch more Pokemon, right?

Nope, not on the government's watch neither.

Poke Ball manufacturing and selling is also banned, particularly out in Ridgefield. Can't have too many people be Pokemon trainers these days, amirite Poke-government? /s

So, you can't just buy Revives to cheese your way through this game the easy way, nor can you buy Poke Balls to catch the dangerously powerful Pokemon inside the Ominous Forest or Golden Cave, both in the nearby wilderness of Ridgewood just to the north of Downtown Ridgefield.

Well...there are other ways to get ahold of these controversial contraband items.

For Revives...finding them (in hiding spots, some obvious, some...not so obvious), mining them, buying them from somewhere not in compliance with government-enforced laws, and yes...

...battling trainers for them & stealing them from Pokemon.

For Poke Balls...good luck~ (>uo)


Features & Screenshots

Technological advances have allowed the city of Ridgefield to completely automate the usual essential services a Pokemon Center normally offers. By the way, you can only save in certain spots in the game, enjoy that~ (>uo)

Fight strong trainers, not just for gold, but "the gold of life". Don't worry, Ridgefield local law restricts trainers to smaller teams.

Avoid MissingNO ghosts, cold-blooded killers spawned from the spirits of corrupted data from deceased Pokemon decaying digitally inside Poke Balls or Pokemon Storage systems, due to improper disposal/burial...

...lest you'll end up joining other unfortunate victims (both human and Pokemon) in the city morgue.

Pay the fare on Ridgefield's rapid transit system to help you travel between downtown, and Ridgefield's two other major districts, Upper Ridgefield & Ridgefield Cliffs (the first of which is available in the jam edition of the game, and super important for progression; the other of which to become available in a future post-jam update).

Feeling stressed out over hero work? Take a break and unwind at Upper Ridgefield's Starcade Fun Center arcade (and try out the claw machines for some interesting prizes).

Still not feeling relaxed enough after some fun at the nearby arcade? No worries, head into The Shops @ Upper Ridgefield, a shopping mall with many stores, and a growing array of purchasable items. Be sure to check every store's inventory when some time has passed. (>uo)

Wanna learn more about the lore behind the AU encompassing Nuzlockology & Revitalus Immortalis? Feel free to pay a visit to Downtown Ridgefield's Public Library to immerse yourself in bits & pieces of lore, story, and history~
