  Rovella, Queen of the Sea

  The Cloissa is the official name of the clam-like beings in the Chibig universe whose primary purpose is to protect the Spirit of Mara. Napopo from Summer in Mara, for example, is a cloissa!Cloissa are governed by a royal matriarchy; there can be more than one queen as head of state. And before Summer in Mara, Rovella and her sister Favara were appointed queens.Cloissa sizes vary widely, but during adolescence and young adulthood their shells tend to overgrow their mobile body. They cannot physically separate from their shell, as it is a part of their body, and even if they live underwater, they adapt well to life on land.Rovella has been staying at The Witch of Sea for a while, dealing with her emotions and trying to resolve some of her personal issues. But she's not alone! She has come with her daughters Chipiona, Madalena, Praslin, and Oropesa for a reason that you will discover by playing Bel's Fanfare. They are very important to the story, and we are dying to show you more about them.(Remember that all cosinetes are also Rovella's babies!)So, what about her design?Perhaps our Spanish compatriots will quickly recognize the inspiration behind The Lady of Elche, one of the most iconic sculptures in Iberian culture, especially for Valencians (yes, we are in Valencia!).You know we love adding references to our culture in our games, and we're especially proud of this one!For your interestBel's Fanfare Late Pledges are still available in Kickstarter if you want to secure your copy and additional, exclusive perks for early supporters.Hope you enjoyed this little piece of Bel's Fanfare's narrative.

  Late Pledges available

  Hello everybody!Although the Kickstarter campaign for Bel's Fanfare was a huge success, more and more people are still believing in us and join by supporting the project. “That means something to you.”This quote is taken from one of the recent interviews (in Spanish) with the directors of this project, the extremely talented Caro Waro and Garbunka.Bel's Fanfare is being built from the ground up with great attention to detail. Sounds a bit obvious, right? But reality is that all Chibig games have a strong narrative focus, and we believe Bel's Fanfare is taking it to a whole new level. We not only want to immerse players completely in its story and setting, but we also want to provoke many deep emotions in them. We want you to feel that it has touched a part of you and that you have truly connected with this fantastic journey when you finish playing it. Of course, the inspirationTo achieve this, as fans and developers, we have drawn inspiration (a lot of inspiration, actually) mainly from classic games such as Zelda, Undertale, and Spirited Away (Studio Ghibli).It's impossible not to think of games like Majora's Mask or Twilight Princess and the great moments they gave us and the emotions they stirred in us a few decades ago (ugh, feeling old now).And, like the rest of Chibig's games, one of the Ghibli films has paved the way for us to build the perfect setting for all this to happen: the wonder between the mundane and the fantastic presented in Spirited Away.Check it outYou can still join the campaign and support Bel's Fanfare with the Late Pledges.Here's the Kickstarter campaign trailer!Check out the campaign here!You can also join our Discord server to hang out, see exclusive content from Bel’s Fanfare and our other games and just chat — See you soon!

  Bel's Fanfare Special Collaboration!

  Attention, everyone!This update will be of particular interest to fans of classic Zelda games and admirers of great Japanese creators. But first things first! This update will focus on the iconic Bel’s Shield in Bel’s Fanfare, which will help us delve into its rich narrative.Ukoback, the gong-shield, is a family heirloom that Beelceboo, Bel’s father, gives her when she is chosen from among all her siblings to embark on a quest to free her entire family from their prison in the boilers of the gigantic cruise ship The Witch of the Sea. Ukoback not only acts as a conventional shield, but its ancient powers allow it to absorb the aura flies that demons like Bel and her family feed on—flies that are now swarming uncontrollably throughout the ship. Although its original design is truly iconic (sorry, we can’t be humble about this!), thanks to the support received during the Kickstarter campaign, we’re adding new designs so you can customize it. But wait! Because we have some shocking news about this: 3 of Ukoback’s alternative skins are designed by Mr. Takaya Imamura.In addition to this, there will be five more skins that highlight the connection between Bel’s Fanfare and other Chibig games, such as *Mika and the Witch’s Mountain* and *Summer in Mara*, as well as Valencian culture (you’ve probably already guessed that’s where the team is based, right?).Paella skin: There's not much more to explain, hehe. One of the most iconic dishes in our cuisine, whose shape also perfectly matches the gong. We hope some of you have had the chance to try an authentic paella in real life!Moma skin: La Moma is a very distinctive, though perhaps not as well-known, character who represents the never-ending battle between Virtue and the Seven Deadly Sins through a dance accompanied by music played on instruments typical of Valencian culture. This tradition is over 500 years old and is a spectacle worth seeing!Socarrat skin: “Socarrat” refers to something charred or burnt, which is why the wo...
