CW: Some depictions of military and gun violence, minimal blood,  sequences that are evocative of gore but are non-detailed and do not use red blood or show organs/dismemberment/ etc. Some enemy designs are suggestive of sexual themes but are abstract and non- explicit. 

Four souls trained in the art of alchemy mount a final, desperate offensive against a malicious "intelligence".

Made for the RPG Maker Themed Game Jam #15.

(Game is "jam quality"; please excuse some lack of polish and roughness)

Controls:

Arrows - Move

Left and Right - Selects targets during combat

Z/Space/Enter - Confirm, Advance menus and dialog, Interact

X - Cancel, Open Menu

Shift - Hold to sprint

(the usual RPG Maker inputs)

The game should work with a gamepad as well. On my XBOX controller, the analog stick and such moves, A confirms, B cancels, X holds to sprint and Y opens the menu.

###

Tips that would be in the manual if there was one:

-Save often! Some areas are gated by strong enemies!

-As you collect quartz, you can spend it in the Alchemy menu on new skills. Each quartz also improves your stats just by picking them up!

-Elements are mutually opposing, not a wheel: Fire <> Water, Earth <> Air

-Skills need to Cooldown a certain number of turns before they can be used again.  They don't reset straight away after battle either! So be careful if wandering enemies are close to each other! You could start the next fight at a disadvantage.

-The final boss can be fought at level 18. The maximum level is 25! You can fight them earlier possibly if you want to, but maybe rotate your saves just in case?

This game is dedicated to all of my fellow creatives and craftspeople who are so bloody tired of art theft, fraud, and community damage.
