I wasn't aware of this section of itch.io. This seems like a better place to post updates for the community.
Chronicles of the Alphabet is a modern 2D RPG that makes use of isometric pre-rendered backgrounds, side-by-side turn based battles with big colorful animated pixel-art sprites, experimental mechanics, occasional CGI cutscenes and heavy focus on its narrative.
A homage to what I like to call a "32-bit style".
