Reporting from 3 sources: Denfaminicogamer, Game Spark, Inside.
Singapore-based developer Elementa released a new gameplay PV for its upcoming urban fantasy open-world RPG 'Silver Palace' on July 3. The approximately three-minute video, set in the Victorian-style metropolis Sylvania, centers on a dialogue between the female detective protagonist and a mysterious figure called Red Rose. It shows exploration, investigation and deduction systems, parry-based action combat, a story that switches between male and female protagonist perspectives, and cooperative scenes with other characters. Life elements visible in the PV include walking around town, traveling by silver pegasus, using public transportation, visiting pawn shops, and playing board games. The music is a modern reconstruction of classical music. At the same time, Elementa is recruiting participants for the second closed beta test, named the 'Dichotomy Test', for PC (Windows). The application period runs until July 17 at 0:59. Selection is by lottery; applicants must fill out a recruitment questionnaire on the official website. The game is built with Unreal Engine 5 and is planned for release on consoles, PC, and smartphones, though pricing and release timing have not been announced.
The PV opens with the female detective protagonist speaking to Red Rose, whose role in the story is not fully explained. The video cuts between street-level investigation in Sylvania, a city that prospered on a resource called Silver Liquid, and combat encounters where the player parries attacks from werewolf and monster enemies. The 'Observation Mode' (called 'Focus Mode' in some source coverage) lets players spot hidden monsters, while the 'Mind Palace' system reconstructs crime scenes for deduction. Sources agree on the core details but differ on the game's English title: Denfaminicogamer uses 'Silver Palace', while Inside and Game Spark use 'Silver City'. The official website uses 'Silver Palace'. The beta test, the 'Dichotomy Test', follows an earlier closed beta and is limited to Windows PC. Elementa, founded in 2020 and headquartered in Singapore with offices in Japan and South Korea, has not announced a release window for the full game.
