Secrets of Nen

The journey

From a fishing island to the city of auctions

Each region is its own chapter. Players arrive by boat or train, take on the local quests and move on when they are ready.

Chapter 1

Whale Island

Where it starts. Fish, sell your catch, earn your first Jenny, find the captain and win your ticket to the exam.

Chapter 2

The Hunter Exam

A shared server-wide event every two days: a 12-minute endurance run, a tower duel against the assassin Johness, then pools and a losers' bracket for the licence.

Chapter 3

The Celestial Tower

A ranked 1v1 arena. Win to climb ten floors, lose to drop. Matches run five minutes on a giant screen, with a lobby where anyone can spectate.

Chapter 4

Yorknew City

The hub. Seven districts, an elevated train, mafia families, bounty boards and the hideout of a dangerous troupe of thieves.

Combat

Read, guard, punish

Fights are fast and readable. Every heavy attack is telegraphed, every stun has a window, and a perfect parry turns the fight around.

Fighting styles with their own skills: katana, great sword, yo-yo, shovel and more
Dashes, wall-runs, vaults, guard breaks and air combos
Unique Hatsu abilities with summoned weapons, roulettes and demons

The water divination

Your aura decides your path

A master places a leaf on a glass of water. What happens when you focus your aura reveals your affinity, saved separately on each character slot.

Organizations

Found your own organization in Yorknew, invite members and carry its name above your head, or hide it in the settings.

Fishing & swimming

Two rods, rare catches worth more, a breath gauge under water and fish that actually swim like fish.

How it's built

One creator, a team of Claude agents

Secrets of Nen is designed, modelled and play-tested by one developer. The code is written and tested by AI agents built on Anthropic's Claude, working directly inside Roblox Studio and checked at every step.

Orchestrator

Plans

Turns each request from the creator into short tasks with measurable goals, and keeps the live dashboard up to date.

Developers

Build

Several agents work in parallel, one area each, inside Roblox Studio. Every change is backed up first.

Verifier

Tests

A separate agent plays the game and measures damage, distances, timings, saves and multiplayer before anything is accepted.

Supervisor

Watches

Checks the whole pipeline every ten minutes, restarts stalled work and keeps it running through the night.
