Introducing Daedalus: Arcane Odyssey – A World of Steam, Alchemy, and Curiosity

Hello everyone!

I'm excited to finally share a glimpse of Daedalus: Arcane Odyssey, a solo-developed action-adventure game set in a steampunk-fantasy world where curiosity is your greatest weapon.

In this world, ancient alchemy blends with steam-powered inventions, floating cities, arcane creatures, and a mysterious academic order that protects dangerous knowledge from falling into the wrong hands.

You play as Daedalus, a young inventor caught between routine and rebellion, who carries a powerful artifact called the A-Forge — a device that lets you combine items, discover secrets, and face the unknown with creativity and wit.

🎨 Key Features in Progress:

• A stylized 3D art style inspired by classic adventure games with a modern twist

• A narrative-focused world, full of quirky characters and hidden lore

• A fully interactive alchemy system for crafting and solving puzzles

• Real-time exploration and combat

• Dialogue sequences with expressive character portraits and voiced reactions

This devlog marks the beginning of my journey to share development updates, behind-the-scenes insights, and visual evolution as I work towards a playable demo. If you enjoy games with rich worldbuilding, thoughtful mechanics, and a bit of steampunk chaos… stay tuned.

Thanks for reading, and welcome to the world of Daedalus.
