Holy moly this game is awesome. I haven't beaten it yet but this game has me hooked already.

The story is strange, (in a good way) I definitely see the Mother/Earthbound and Zelda influences. Exploring the world and running into all kinds of weird stuff definitely gives me Yume Nikki vibes. The music is absolutely amazing and incredibly memorable.

If you love RPG Maker games or any of the previously mentioned games, this is definitely a must play.

I made a video with my commentary and experiences. I only played a bit of it in the video but I hope it inspires people to give the game a download and play through it as well!

Keep up the amazing work!

Oh wow! Thank you!! It really made my night to see your response and video (I could hear you just fine btw)! It was amazing to see all the left field jokes land and the things that were supposed to be strange leaving you a bit unsettled, it was super reassuring that I'm on the right track.

I hope the rest of the game is just as enjoyable and you have a grand time! And good luck with your channel!

Thanks for the response! I completed this build of the game. (I think? I don't think I found the "ending" though. I got the guy the gold and...yeah :P) Also I'm working on solving that riddle in the temple, hopefully it's solvable in this build!?

Just wanted to leave some extended thoughts:

The combat is pretty tough! I definitely see the SMT inspiration for it. It's tough but rewarding. Both of the bosses really got me really invested. When that boss battle theme really kicks in, I felt like I was playing the best of SMT Nocturne again.

I'm definitely looking forward to more! Good luck with the rest of development!

It's not the "ending" I put in, but it is technically the end of the main gameplay. The temple is not solvable this build unfortunately, but it will be in the full game!

On the combat, I'm a bit relieved to see I was able to hit the "tough but rewarding" sweet spot, that was the intention and I'm glad the positive note on the balance made it out of just the testing circle.

Also funny you mention Nocturne, that one had the most influence on me of the SMTs lol.

Overall still glad as heck to see you enjoyed it!
