Do you accept death? Or do you fear it? An old-school RPG made to question your acceptance of mortality.
A unique RPG where instead of becoming stronger, you get weaker as you go along. Demitri is a hero who already completed his journey. He is already powerful, so combat is complex and strategic from the start! But no one can live forever, and everyone’s story must come to an end. The theme revolves around death and acceptance. Written by a therapist, the story is made help you think about what you cannot control. Age, death, loss... these are all things we must accept in our lives. For those just looking to experience the story, there will be 2 distinct modes.
- Full rpg experience with combat (6-10 hours), or...
- "Adventure Mode" (3-5 hours), which removes the element of combat
and strategy, but leaves the story, puzzles, and exploration to enjoy!
- No grinding levels, because the hero becomes weaker
- Complex, strategic battles from the start and no long tutorials
- Turn-based battles with the “Stance” mechanic, allowing you to
strengthen the character in various ways and respond to enemy attacks.
- Strong themes of acceptance and mortality with an impactful ending,
even the towns are modelled after the 5 stages of grief
- 2 versions, one for RPG veterans and one for those who just want to
experience the story
- 6-10 hours to complete the game in the full version
- 2 endings depending on your choices
- Original art by Neon Skies Studio.( NOTE:no steam key,link key is DRM-free in itch.io store.)
