Even though Crimson Sun is a small game, there are a lot of things I had to cut down because of the 1k words limitation. For example a few bad ends, and explaination what happened in the original story without player.
In the original story, an enemy army is already close by and ready to attack to steal the new flower and take over the village for themselves. Without player interference, they would attack during harvesting ceremony. While the two army is fighting, the villagers rebelled and that's the reason the village was burned. A lot more people died, not only elders but also adults, who died one by one when protecting their kids from pursuing army.
Most of the kids was caught and imprisoned by different factors. Kyle luckily escaped but met a lot of hardships, and was constantly betrayed because of his flower. He grew up, becoming stronger and constantly antagonize the countries involved in the destruction of his village, while secretly looks for those who still alive.
That's just a side note that doesn't really affect playing experience. I might reuse the characters in future game if have a chance.
