Imaginaria

About

Imaginaria is a single player action game. It was developed by Orbis Tertius Games and was released on June 21, 2021. It received overwhelmingly positive reviews from players.

Imaginaria is both a night watch and the night watcher. It's a military term, supposedly coming from Latin, Imaginarius: relative to a mental figure. Perhaps because under Imaginaria duty the mind likes to wander too. Here in Antarctica we do them since the incident. And tonight I am Imaginaria.
