Thanks! So far people have enjoyed it, and I hope you do, too! Please leave a review of what you think/thought, but the Demo - while immersive on its own - doesn't cover a lot of what the full game does! :)

Oh wow! It looks wonderful!
I will try the demo on Steam ;)

Let me know how the Steam Demo download goes! Oddly enough, while I've sold a couple hundred full games, I don't think I've had a SINGLE Steam demo download! The link on here is solid and has had many so far, and the link on itch.io has had several hundred. But please, report back to me if something seems out of place if you DO do the Steam Demo! Thanks in advance!
I have played it for almost one hour, I'm stuck on the queen-cousin mission but the game is good.

You saying you can't beat the bandits/can't find them? Message me on steam "gold3nunicorngaming" or Tweet me @GoldUniGaming and I'll help you as best I can!
Looks fun, I might try this out. I like that you really showed your efforts you put into this game into the trailer, and also the fact that there's cutscenes and epic battles in there. xD
What is so good about this? you are using RTP graphics for a commercial game...

It's about half and half stock to custom graphics. I don't brag about the graphics though I think they are still video game quality and those I commissioned and borrowed from did excellent jobs. The story is pretty well done as the tale told runs deep and there's lots to do... that's why people have enjoyed it.
how much does this cost? i can not buy it on steam by the way because i was banned for being attacked.

Just $4.99 for full game, otherwise the Demo is free and you can play it for hours. :)
I've been playing this for a while now. My only critique thus far is the opening sequences have some awkward writing, but this game has got some serious emotion out of me. Well done.

Great to hear! Spread the word and please leave a review! I'm here with any additional questions and welcome all critiques/things I can do better! <3
I'll be leaving a review once I've completed the game on Steam! :D
Hello.
It`s a fun game,but i must ask
Maybe just me,but am i forced to go in the tower with the cat only and no items to progress the story?It feels like it should be a optional quest.(in high levels)You now like a quest that every character has to gain something xtra.I feel it`s too hard,even with leech.My cat is level 17.And often when i try i run out of MP and just can`t do any damage because they`re immune to psysical hits.Am i missing something?

Level 17 is about right. Leech works against all the human-type characters, but solving all the riddles (if you call them that) will replenish all your stats.

Also, you don't have to kill everyone in that tower, comparatively, their EXP isn't THAT great. Are you casting spells that hit the elementals with their weakness? I'd say if you really find yourself running out of MP skip some enemies unless they look different (you wanna fill out the bestiary) and you can always backtrack once you reach the next headstone that replenishes your MP.

To answer tho, yes the cat must go in alone, it advances the storyline. Hope that helps.
Hello.
I beat "the tower" now.:) .It was a real challenge and now i understand why you took it in the main story.

Good!

Also, I hope that the entire game is kinda challenging! You'll have a better sense of accomplishment!
Yes,this game makes you think about strategies and it`s easy to see that you have put alot of work in this.Really great.
One thing is that you maybe should have something that provides you from stun.The frostgiant for example,stuns me to the point that i stand no chance.I have only been trying 2-3 times but yeah,he`s a killer..(any tips? ).The valkyria a little before is on the other side a little too easy i think.The balance is always hard to get right,but i think you have done a great job here so far.(I`ve been playing this kind of games since Phantasy star/FF was young)
How far in the game am i?My clock is 13,but i don`t turns it of everytime a take an paus so maybe a little less.
The story is well written i think,
when they throw her brother down the cliff was a shock.(My english doesn`t let me express myself so well everytime)

You are almost half way done. It depends, though on some of your sidequests and stuff after being dropped off from the pirates.

The Frost Giant isn't that bad. You need to hit him with Weapon Break with Nolan and maybe use Aegis or fruit to boost your RES. Fire spells do extra damage as well. If you need to buy Ice Emblems, those help too, but you shouldn't need to. Just always keep him debuffed. You are getting to the point now where Debuff spells and Buff spells are becoming much stronger. Remember, they do PERCENT increases or decreases, so the higher the number is, the greater the buff or debuff will be. And don't forget you can combine buffs, like augment + boost + carrot. Later in the game combining buffs helps a lot. The same applies for INT boosts. Calista's Aura spell greatly benefits from grapes or the empower spell.

Hope that helps.

Also, if you are curious, Bugfragged has a master playthru on Youtube and he did a good job with it.
