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".

======[ UPDATES ]======

A two hour DEMO is available since 2020, but yesterday I uploaded a version with some stuff fixed:

- In the Equip window, the item list does not disppear anymore when you are equipping itens;

- Curriculum Grid now have way more responsive arrow keys while choosing the character;

- Curriculum Grid is a little more intuitive, now it better shows what skill is available, the ones available are the only ones glowing;

- Curriculum Grid now asks you what character to choose before the transition animation;

I would appreciate a lot for testers for this current version. The download link is at the bottom of the game's itch.io page:

I will be using this topic now for future updates of version 2.1.0. And that is a widescreen version with every asset and background remade.

Quick update:

• Softlock at the beginning when checking the typewriter from below fixed;

• A bug preventing the menu to open when refusing to face the Vampire is fixed;

• The overall text in the game was reviewed.
