Tua’s Calling is a 3D action–adventure RPG developed as part of a Capstone Project by Tristin Shakesby and Hakopa Ririnui. Inspired by titles such as The Legend of Zelda and the Spyro Reignited Trilogy, players take on the role of a young tuatara named Tua. Awakened by a sacred butterfly, Tua is summoned by the village elder, who urges him to complete his training in preparation for an emerging evil. As the player, you must train, explore beyond the village, and uncover the source of the spreading corruption to protect your home.
