Nascence - Anna's Songs - FAQ

What is “Nascence - Anna’s Songs” ? 

It’s a first person adventure game set in the same fictional universe of our previous game, “Anna”.

Is “Nascence” a point&click adventure?

The answer is complicated. You definitely point and click, and you have an inventory, and you have inventory based puzzles, but it’s more than that. There’s a survival horror side, lots to explore and some mind-bending things that will make you rethink what you saw before.

I’m not going to say that “this game will change the game industry” (because it will not), but I really hope that this game will stay with you when you turn off your PC.

Is “Nascence” set in a real place or based on real events?

“Nascence” is set in a fictional version of the Ayas Valley, in Valle D’Aosta, Italy.

We use some geographic names, like Champoluc, Periasc or the aforementioned Ayas, but the town “Reluné” is completely fictional, as are all the characters mentioned in the game.

The events portrayed in “Nascence” are completely fictional and take inspiration from local legends.

What Next-Gen platforms will be supported?

We will make an announcement soon.

Will the game be released on all platforms at the same time?

“Nascence” will be released on PC first. Next-Gen consoles will follow soon after.

Is “Nascence” a sequel of “Anna”?

It’s not exactly a sequel, in the sense that you’re not the same character that you played in “Anna”, but it’s set in the same universe and expands on the mythology. So, it’s a sequel, but not a direct sequel.

Is “Nascence” first person?

Yep

Is “Nascence” developed by the same team who did “Anna”

For the most part, yes, “Nascence” is designed by the same designers and the same composer (Alessandro Monopoli) wrote all the music.

Who is “Treehouse Studio”?

Sometime ago we got contacted by some veterans in the industry who were thinking about doing their own company. We discussed our project with them and they got hooked (on a feeling, like David Hasselhoff). They will help us on the art side.

Is White Heaven cancelled?No, it’s not. White Heaven is now one of Anna's Songs. More info will be shared after Nascence release.

Do I have to play Anna to understand Nascence?No, Nascence is a standalone experience and you can fully understand it without having played Anna. 

What's next-gen in Nascence?

We plan to have a series of features that are manageable by the superior power of next-gen systems. First of all, lighting: we use the most up-to-date light tech, with Screen Space GI. Then Runtime Virtual texturing, hi-quality depth of field, Sharpening, Distance field contact shadows and hi-quality terrain fully streamed. We are also evaluating RTX Raytracing.

We have more “next gen” stuff to showcase (not only rendering): we’ll let you know in future announcements.
