Hello. First of all, I'm very surprised by the game resolution, I didn't think was possible with 2k3
The concept was very interesting: after the world got saved, there are still some problems that emerged: The secret of Elizabeth, the disappearance of the goddess, suspecting it's all a trick... It was all a good hook, I felt really engaged with the story. I also really liked the personality of every character.
Unfortunately I felt like that the narration was really lacking in a lot of points: I didn't really understood what was going on in most of the second half of what I played. The gameplay doesn't really make up for it, since it's the default battle system, where you can't even heal or restore your mana, so you risk to be unable to progress.

I had to stop in the second battle in the kingdom, since I inexplicably lose a lot of max health and die right away. Unfortunate, because I am genuinely curious of what is the meaning of all the mysteries of the story.
If you're interested, I streamed the game. Here's the VOD:

Thank you! This is why I think adapting something for shorter formats is misleadingly hard. Cutting stuff nearing the deadline also didn't help, so yeah ultimately I am not happy with what I made even if it's technically finished. Will put more time into it for a better result. 

Thanks again for taking a look and leaving the review + vod!

i streamed this game earlier on my twitch. and honestly, this game grew on me, it was about midway through the plot where i started to get very invested in what was happening, bit of a shame however when the game bugged and wouldn't save for us so we werent able to continue further. 


i want to come back to it once the save bug has been fixed!

I am honored! The game will be re-worked for a later publication with all the rough planning I had initially before cutting them to fit the jam's timeframe. Thank you for trying it out and linking the stream recording here, and thanks for doing this for all of us creators!

I will be re-submitting this game as I discovered major bugs. Please do not use any version up until my next update (ver1.1)
