Not sure if this error is from the game or not, but it came up when I launched it. Perhaps relatedly, it came with a saved game, although I suppose that could be part of the narrative (a la Ben Drowned).

Good fun, this one! (Though I sort of wish I'd got hit with the 1HP glitch the rest of the voters got, too. Feels like that'd add to the "clawing your way back to existence" vibe if done properly, but anywho...)

I won't talk much about the visuals; I'm a RPG Maker user myself and I have to slap my brain away from going hey I recognise that asset. Because it's good asset use. It's clear these scripts were added with a purpose, and stuff like chasing enemies and jumping past hazards do add a suitable amount of variety to each section.

Love the dialog - there's an even balance between dry humor and grim unease. Combat's a bit basic. I played as a Traitor so options boiled down to "click backstab" or "drink hype potion". Will have to try the other classes out some time to see how far it all goes.

If you do ever choose to return to the project, I'd definitely be down to see more. And if not - I look forward to seeing what you work on next!

I might be missing something, but I start with 1 HP and can't win any fights because I immediately get killed. Still wanted to see the rest of the game so I tried my best to do a "pacifist run" and just dash past any enemies and save a lot haha. I like the style and the dialogue was funny. Very cool environments and interesting lore. Good work! 

Developer

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for giving it a try and for catching that 1 HP bug! The fix is live and players now have 200 HP after selecting a class. Dashing past enemies is a totally fair way to survive - another alternative if you find yourself low on health is to sell bones to buy healing items.

RPG maker was my first ever experience with making games! I love seeing a game made with it. It all came together really well. There was some funny writing in there too! Nice job.

I'm not sure if ther was a shop keep in that first area, but I just ran by that first enemy :P

This was fun. I love the tile sets. I'm not sure why but none of the enemies could hit me. I died to poison or something after ascending a few times. The descriptions of things were my favorite part. Great job, I would like to go back and try to beat it.

I got the same issue as ZeroTheDogGames, the exported version of the game seems to start at the ending. Perhaps you were testing it out to make sure it works and forgot to reset it to start at the beginning?

You're right, I was testing maps and forgot to reset the starting event. Thanks for helping catch this, it's now fixed!

Not sure if I'm being dense or if I'm loading into the last scene or something when I start the game? I'm starting in the boiling blood floor room. As soon as I talk to the yellow hooded figure, the game ends. I see you have a lot more areas in your screenshots so I'll hold off on rating for now. : )

Developer

Oh no!!! Thanks for catching this and thanks so much for your patience, this is now fixed!
