Echoes of the Scourge

This game was made for the Transformation Game Jam: https://itch.io/jam/transformation-game-jam

Every year there is a festival to celebrate the founding of Springure, a small, quaint town. Odette, a girl who misses a dear friend, finds herself in an empty version of her hometown. With the aid of an old friend, Elek, the two of them try to escape this fake town with malevolent forces, making them face their past.

This game is an RPG with Horror elements. You will have to contend with an ever-filling Blight meter. If completely filled will turn your character into a rampaging monster temporarily. However, there are skills and a transformation that benefits from a high amount of Blight. Outside of battle explore a desolate copy of Springure, learn about the past and meet monsters eager to play games with you.

This game was made using the RPG Maker MZ game engine.

This game is roughly an hour long. It also has mild language.
Inspiration
This game was based on an old game build I made in 2020 with the same title as this game. I liked the first level of that game where you enter a town where your party is supposed to slay a nearby monster. They were initially going to talk to the mayor of that town to get the details, but the monster captures them and puts them in a desolate and hostile version of the town with no one in it. The atmosphere was so good in that game I wanted to try to build a game around that.

Characters
Odette: She is the main character of "Echoes of the Scourge". She is a kind and curious girl but is rather shy, finding it difficult to speak her mind despite her intentions.
Elek: He is the secondary lead character for "Echoes of the Scourge". He is confident and looks out for others, but his brash nature leads him to say and do things based on his emotions.
