This first-game-in-a-series is rather interesting, if not a tad cliche. It takes place after To Stop a Thief. However, this game takes place in Ereyian, a continent that bears the same name as the world.
The story follows a pair of sibling thieves named Aaron and Seni and their quest for not only revenge, but answers when their father was slain by Hisen the Cold; the emperor of the Icy Plains. They soon realize that the answers they seek will be hard fought and will lead to an unexpected realization of a more powerful threat at hand.
The game also follows Ryeesa, a demi goddess that was betrayed by her allies due to a struggle for power, and her former companion, Roben, who is tasked with hunting her down despite agreeing with her friends ideals.
What kind of land is Ereyian (pronounced Are-rei-en)?
Ereyian, unlike Tavvren or Tearan, is the largest continent in Ereyian. It has over 19 different countries, each with different styles of living and each has an element associated with it. Some elements include water, darkness, ice, electric, nature and fire. There is also an almost extinct race named the Ereadric Race, which is the leading race in terms of technology and power. They have created the most powerful kinds of weaponry and armour, and it is called FLAX.
This continent is in turmoil, with each country at war with each other, trying to rule all of Ereyian. Some have created alliances, while others would rather tend to their own country or attempt to destroy another completely.
Features
- This game, unlike the last, is more narrated and linear, so be warned. This is a story-based game, so do not expect full freedom. Areas that do not intertwine with the story will not be available.
- This game has a unique ability trait for the main characters. A unique ability is, as its name implies, unique to a character, and each ability helps him/her in a vast amount of ways (In development)
- A stealth system (well, kinda) for those little missions that you have to be all sneaky.
- A clock... Right now it's there for fun, but I plan to have it intertwined with some missions to add difficulty and to affect the enemies ability to see.
- A very large map. It is of an entire continent!
-Redesigned and unique skills for each playable class
- Unique boss music, and each boss has an exclusive set of skills and abilities.
- Various Yanfly scripts involved!

----------------Screenshots---------------
This game has only been about 2 months into development. I am working on the prologue (which will also be the demo, I suppose).
Unlike my previous game, I intend for this to be more like a novel than an open world game. There will be elements of an open world so that the land may be explored and such, but the way it is narrated will be like a book.
Demo:

Update: The demo won't let you go past a certain point. I'll work on repairing this.
