Born into a small village with the uncommon ability to use magic, a loving father, and a best friend, you had considered life to be mostly pleasant, unfortunately, the serenity does not last.

You had only been a child when your father is killed trying to protect you from intruders who meant to use you in a ritual that you had no recognition of. A peculiar stranger ends up coming to your rescue, saving you before the ritual can truly begin. 

For the past 10 years, you had lived with the man, as he raised you and taught you magic, until he left without warning or explanation two years ago. You'd almost given up any hope that you would ever truly know what had happened to your mentor when one day a soldier knocked on your door, asking questions about the man, stating that there are people who are worried about him. 

Through a series of events, you end up traveling with the soldier to the capital in hopes of finding your mentor, though once you arrive you become entangled in something much bigger as you discover the uneasy peace between gods.

😭 oh...

Ty for informing.

oop, I forgot to look at the date it was last updated before playing. got hooked on a game that hasn't been updated for a long time

Will this continue?

looks good so far!! can't wait to find out what's with Felix

cant wait for more <3

I really enjoyed the demo so far! im looking forward to seeing more in the future!

I really like the extent of choices in the character generator. Usually the mark of a good game, I find, though we only have the prologue and char gen so far.

Enjoyed the demo so far! Though no matter what type of magic i chose, it seems to default to enchantment/emotional manipulation whenever magic gets used. 

maybe try again now? it's working fine for me

I got the same issue, always just trying to manipulate emotions. I only tested with defensive magic though.

oh hmm im not sure then... i just so happened to try with only offensive and healing...

I'm pretty sure I found where the problem was and I just updated it, but please let me know if this problem continues or if you encounter any others
