The final chapter in Adera’s first season, Episode 5 – A New Light, is finally available! This episode is by far the largest and most epic in the series. We’ve spent a ton of time polishing it and making it awesome for you, so if you’ve played the previous episodes be sure to grab this season finale and let us know what you think. To gain access to the new episode just update your app if you already have it, or download it from the Windows Store if you’re a new user.

If you’re new to Adera, this release also features a Collector’s Edition which gives you access to all 5 episodes of the season at a discounted price and an in-game strategy guide for each episode. It also includes some extra features in Adera’s main hub, including special backgrounds, wallpapers, music tracks, concept art, and a gag reel. This is a great deal for newcomers, and is appropriately discounted for those who have already purchased some episodes of Adera.

It’s been a long ride since we started work on Adera, but the long hours and hard work have paid off greatly. We’re very proud of how the first season and especially Episode 5 has turned out. We hope you feel the same way. At present, plans for a second season have not been determined, but we will definitely keep you posted as new information comes in. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy the first season!

“Amanda finds herself alone in her grandfather’s house after his funeral. While lamenting the passing, a voice calls out that thrusts her into a secret world she never knew existed. For centuries, the Guardians of Magic have protected a hidden realm, and her grandfather was one of them. Now, the Guardians face a technological threat from Amanda’s own mentor, Dr. Talbot Magus. To stop him, she must discover her grandfather’s secrets and learn to use her own unexpected magical talent. But will it be enough to save the Guardians of Magic?”
