Taival Mechanics #2: Companions

You'll never adventure alone in the world of Taival. You're accompanied by a spirit of the world Taival itself: a trustworthy companion able to shapeshift into many creatures found throughout Taival and other worlds.

Above you can find just some forms your spirit companion can find itself along the journey. We are creating many more as we speak to allow collecting the shape of (almost) any creature you can find in the world.

Now, what use is the companion aside from being adorable? When finding yourself in trouble, your Taival companion will be an invaluable help at squashing your enemies. Aside from passively attacking and healing, we are creating an elaborate skill tree and progression for the companion, allowing you to unlock abilities and fine-tune your companion to best fit your playstyle!

The companions are of use outside combat as well. When exploring Taival, you may find tight-fitting burrows and stashes of treasures which you can't fit into. This is where your companions hop in, quite literally, as they rummage through the cache, finding riches (or rags, depending on the loot defining rarity of the stash).

We are constantly brainstorming and creating new ways to make your companion even more awesome. For example, currently we're trying out whether your companion could revive you after unlocking a certain ability for it. And obviously, you must be able to pet your companion. There's so many possibilities!
