Aww I really really liked this! I like Alain so much.. do I get BL vibes? Or it's just me?! >_<♥
I think this is probably one of the most solid entries that I played for the contest.
The story is really good, the characters are all pretty unique and the art looks really nice too. ^^
I thought the gameplay was simple and straight to the point, with the battles being a bit too easy at times but still enough for it to be challenging.
The maps could have been a bit nicer, but when you use default resources you can't expect much and I though they still looked nice enough. (In particularly I really liked the magic shop! heh)
I didn't come across any bugs which is really cool and the game ran really well in my computer.
However one little suggestion I will put out there is to consider giving the villagers some better facesets, I thought the faceless villagers looked really out of place. You have your own characters with custom facesets, so just giving the others some nice default ones will make it look so much better.
And. Now. The only other thing I can do is BEGGGG for more!
I really hope you'll continue with this project. The ending is kind of open so you can definitely pick it up from there and I really would love to play more of this. The game has lots of potential!
Good luck with the contest and keep it up! :)

Pretty basic combat. The battles were easy enough that I didn’t really need to do much but attack and heal every now and then. A few all spells were thrown out as needed, but otherwise no healing or items were needed. Probably could have done with a bit more direction or graphical pointers to help identify certain locations.
Fairly basic story. The villain was fairly obvious from the first moment that they are mentioned. There are some neat little cutscenes, but the bright glow and then dark glow didn’t really feel like they added to the story or mood. The game just felt fairly average overall. Also, much disappointment that there was no real BL scenes. Could use some expansion and some pacing changes to make it so that you can get more involved with the characters. It feels like the damsel in distress character was never really given much of a chance to be involved despite her being the love interest.
Demons or no, I’d like to live in this town. Everybody’s so nice! To the point where the one guy who’s a jerk turns out to be the villain. This was a polished little game, I really liked the character portraits and cutscene art. It’s a little talky at times, but the characters are good. Is it just me or is there major romantic tension between Vice and Alain? That was hard to miss. Battles are balanced enough but not that engaging given that most of the skills and attacks seemed to do about the same damage to everyone. A nice start, keep it up!
