A 72 page-long dive into the art of Near-Mage, and how its world came to be.

Features an in-depth look at the origins of the plot, the character, world building and lore of Near-Mage. We take a look at what motivated the characters’ visual designs, how the nature and architecture we grew up around can be traced inside the game’s DNA, and how the overall aesthetic has evolved as we were making the game, from its ligne-claire aesthetic to the significance of color choice.

We strongly recommend you read this document after having completed the game, since it goes into very spoilery details, both plot and character-related.

We hope you’ll enjoy a deeper dive into the mysterious world of Transylvania!
