Players can acquire new gear and items, characters level up to learn new spells, and an AI system enables autonomous character combat.

The Story of Vay

Set in a distant galaxy scarred by a millennium-long interstellar war, Vay unfolds on a technologically underdeveloped planet after a colossal, malfunctioning war machine crashes. Programmed for destruction, this machine wreaks havoc, leaving devastation in its wake.

Players embark on a quest to rescue their kidnapped wife, a mission that may ultimately determine the fate of the world. Attacked on their wedding day, the protagonist's bride is abducted, thrusting him into an epic journey to confront the destructive war machines.

Vay's captivating narrative blends nostalgia with fresh elements. Staying true to its JRPG roots, characters gain experience and gold through random encounters. The game features nearly ten minutes of animated cutscenes with both English and Japanese audio options.
