Even in the Midst of Darkness...

Two months after the suposed release of my demo, I have finally submited it. Right now it's still pending, but when (or if) it's accepted, I hope everyone interested enjoys the demo.
The romance in my opinion is kind of sappy, but hopefully it's not complete trash. If anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate them.
Some custom sprites still haven't been made due to time and laziness, so some sprites will look out of place with others.
Right now my biggest battle is creating a working custom menu for synthesis. It's not included in the demo due to the event being an ass, so again, all suggestions are welcome.
The game consists of 3 parts. The demo covers the prologue and the beginning of part 1. My next demo will probably cover all of part 1.
Hopefully everything works as susposed to. Along with the game, I've also include (or at least I think I did) a bonus saved game file containing all four playable characters for you to see how their sprites function in battle (in case you cared.)
Now, until then, here is some cake.

And before anyone asks, no, I do not know who "Nicole" is.
