I enjoyed this game, and I think it has a lot of potential going forward. It is still just a demo, but there is something here for sure.

While the story is not always apparent and "there," it has a strong base, if not a little bit of an isekai. The combat is what you would expect from an RM game, but with the many different relics introduced, it keeps combat a little more fun with its variety of items.

If you decide to play, keep an open mind!

For anyone looking at this game or thinking about checking it out: do it!

It is a very fun and delightful little demo, that definitely has the 90s charm it is going for. There is some polishing left to be done, but it certainly kept me playing and playing.

There is a good concept here!

I haven't played the game through to completion yet, I don't think, but what I have played is a solid mark of what RPG Maker can achieve. It is fun and engaging, with the beginnings of a good story. With some effort, it could be a really great game.

However...

The game in its current state has a lot of bugs, so be warned! Combat is what you would expect from an RM game, with a little more interactivity with item and battle synergy than usual games, so if you're looking for a simple to pick up turn-based system, this may be the demo for you. 

Good day everyone!

I'm Rowen, the solo developer of Azarine Heart, an early access title that I hope to share with you all. It is an open-world, 2d rpg with heavy story and dialogue-driven plot. Following the kidnapping of your sister by a mysterious cult, you travel - unwillingly - to the land of Acadia, a wartorn, diseased isle off the mainland coast, in hopes of finding her, and bringing her home. Little do you know, that there's more at work than meets the eye...

Engage in battles with all manner of hostile creatures; undead, giants, the vicious wildlife of Acadia, and the groups of roaming bandits, marauders, fallen priests, and of course, the mysterious Robanna Dram. Join the seven factions that vie for power in Acadia, and influence the politics of the world. Be the good the world needs, or the evil that your pockets want. Romance is in the air; the heartsing flowers sing true to the one of your affections...or break the trust of friends for profit. And of course, find her.

As the game is currently in early access, there will likely be some bugs and problems throughout your playthrough. Save often, and please don't hesitate to reach out and report them. Thank you.
