Our editorial team has already predicted growth in the gaming market by 2025, and the early signs confirm it. ENDER MAGNOLIA: Bloom in the Mist, the sequel to the popular game ENDER LILIES, launched in early access on March 25, 2024, is set for a full PC release on January 22, 2025, at CST. This game combines 2D exploration, challenging combat, and a deep narrative that captivates you from the beginning. The story unfolds in a mysterious land called the Smoke Realm, immersing you in a world full of dangers, secrets, and choices. It’s not just about fighting—it's about exploring and uncovering what lies hidden in the mist.

After the events of ENDER LILIES, the world has changed. The Land of Fumes is falling apart, poisoned by strange toxins rising from below. These toxins have corrupted creatures known as Homunculi, originally made to help the kingdom. Now, they’re out of control.

You play as Lilac, an Attuner—a person who can heal and cleanse corrupted beings. With help from a Spirit Reaper and a Homunculus companion, you’ll travel through breathtaking hand-drawn lands, finding relics, hidden treasures, and pieces of story that explain this troubled world.

One unique feature is that you can purify bosses and turn them into allies. These bosses then use their powers to help you in battle, adding new abilities and strategies to your gameplay.
