Brief
"Unite" is a 3D Action Role-Playing Game about a girl named ESRA, a 19-year-old Thumbelina living in the misty swamps of an Asian region in the year 7341 AD. A hundred years ago, the tribe of giants, the human species, was wiped out by a great nuclear war. The animals have survived, but have mutated greatly in appearance and behavior, so the Thumbelina warriors must defend their home village against the aggressive beasts.
When the soldiers return home one day without Esra's brother TINO, Esra sneaks out of the village to find her brother on her own. Still believing in the goodness of the animals, her mission is not to fight them on their way, but to find out what they lack to stop their aggression.
Thus, the objective of the game is to learn the unexpected behavior of the animals and help them by pulling out thorns or killing parasites in close combat, collecting plants for medicine or food, or building tools to achieve certain objectives or to help or rescue missing village members. After helping an animal, this animal will support Esra on her mission and provide a way through closed paths or even be able to be ridden.
