Castle Greyrot, a new rogue-lite RPG on the horizon! Featuring Duran!



Hello, Time Travelers!
I've been absent for the past year, working on a new project called Castle Greyrot. Imagine Shattered Hourglass bosses, dialogues, decision-making, and job system but it's set in dark medieval times.

The story is Castle Greyrot is a living being that changes its location every 10 years and corrupts its surroundings wherever it goes. As an experienced Commander, you are summoned to engage in a raid on Castle Greyrot.
With mercenaries on your side, you're about to venture to the Castle and destroy the unknown evil force within. It's that simple.

You can check out Castle Greyrot's page right away!

So in other words, the bad end has two variations depending on whether or not you did the bad route side quest (good thing I was already aiming for the bad route since I would rather get all the other endings before seeing the true one).

So far, my expectation for what's to come are pretty high!
It's great! You can access the unique bad route side quest. Things will get more intresting soon. Have fun! Did you get 5.th party member?
Uh-huh! His darkness spell was really useful in the haunted forest when silence wasn't in effect (everything kept spamming me with poison and silence).
Um……

What are you supposed to do in the "abandoned" mansion, because quite a few things are locked (and that blond dude says something about a witch but it doesn't really give me an idea on what to do) and I found Gilgamesh, but he wipes out the whole team after I chip away about 50% of his hp.
Well, you need to beat Gilgamesh to proceed further, Juliet's Dispel counters his HP regen. If you are still trouble with boss you can boost your party members level just outside of mansion, resting in mansion is free.
Thank you very much for the kind words Sawworm!

Greeting and salutations, I am StarPrincessHLC, and as Sawworm has been kind enough to point out, I am doing a Let's Play on this game. I am greatly enjoying it thus far, and encourage everyone to download and play it yourself. But if you are still unsure, please check out my Let's Play and see if it's a game you'd like to play. Here's the playlist! Enjoy!

This is my very first Let's Play and I'm playing this game completely blind, so I am prone to mistakes, be it missing a side quest or lag in the video, but it is a learning process and I do feel I'm getting better as I go along. But I do intend to finish this game, no matter how long, because I feel this game deserves to be seen and enjoyed.

I'm also going to try and upload at least one video a day, but even that could be tricky at times, usually due to either real life delays or just that my editing software is taking a long time to convert the video. But either way, it will be done, one way or another.

Thank you again Sawworm for the encouragement and for making a great game! Keep doing what you're doing man! Take care peoples! :)

Hi again! Since I was fed up of using my mom's computer to play your game, I decided to tinker with the game on my mac, and I was able to "create" a playable version of Shattered Hourglass for Macs. If you would like me to, I could send you the file.
It's amazing Hakai! I was trying to convert my game to Mac too but I've failed so hard. I'll gladly accept it, is it the new version I upload? (1.30)
Yup, it's version 1.30. However, I can't take full credit for the conversion.

This little organization on Youtube called "Jammed Gears" that converts windows apps to mac apps, so I just downloaded a random game they converted, cracked opened the files, replaced the old game's files with Shattered Hourglass, and changed the name and the icon. This method also works with several other RPG Maker games.
Wow. It's pretty neat job you did there. I'll give your name and Jammed Gears to credits, it'll greatly help to Mac users.
I found a problem in the new patch. In the caves right after the first time you meet Zulwheren there's that secret on the left wall that teleports you to this secret room but it spawns you right above the top chest and inside the wall in stead of the middle tile so you can't move anywhere unless you teleport.
Oh... I totally forgot to reapply the new teleport location to there, sorries! I'll fix that ASAP.

Edit: Done
Why won't human Zulwhern appear during the battle with Skeleton Zulwhern even after beating the painter.
You need to get in 10th turn in Zulwhern battle. If you beat him before 10th turn, he won't show up. It's mostly happens when you cheat in game and boost your party members stats. I don't think that event is bugged, I've tested it out.
Great game!! I really enjoyed the idea for the side quests, the house updates and the karma choices.
I think I got them all, and I have mostly good karma.

I still can't defeat "Fujin" of the summoner in the green island. He is really hard...
Currently, I have the fire and ice key, and I don't know where I should go. Could you please tell me?

Thanks a lot for this excellent game.
To beat Füjin you need "Amnesia" accessory from Chronix, make sure to equip all of your party members to immune to sleep.

After you get Fire and Ice key go to the Lumberjack Camp, and head to the north gate which is blocked early on.

Also If you've recruited Qual and got bodyguards for your house you can access to new side quest by talking to Qual.

I'm glad you've enjoyed, thank you!
Thanks for the fast reply and the hints !!
Yes, I did the Qual side quest, I really liked the boss fight.

Also, there were some bugs I found.
When I enter the robot factory area with Duran party, I can't get out and a character from Qual party tells me "We have a job to do".
I got to fight the witches of the tower again when I came back from behind the tower.(maybe because some characters had other job classes)
When I teleport the second time from the fire lord tower, I see the passage about the king and queen again.
Thank you very much mokoro, it helped me a lot. I'm going upload the fixed version tomorrow.
I need a guide on how to unlock the chests that stupid chest master has everywhere. I need the passwords please!
You can view the full playthrough here, StarPrincessHLC did all the chests ^.^
