- I'm not an artist, so graphics of menu, loading and game over screens what they are you will see.
- I used default RPG Maker assets because I don't have much time to search internet and talent to make my own.
- I'm not professional story teller.
- Game is still under development.
- Game is treated as NON-COMMERCIAL product.
- Game needs at least 400MB of free space on disk.
- Game uses external font files so for best look is recommended to install them before you play game.

I'm refreshing.

I intend to play this when I get home but from the screenshots I can tell you:
The mapping needs improvement (not the worst I've seen but still lots of open, empty spaces) and the title screen menu is far, far too busy. Less options makes it easier to navigate.
