About the Project
Zu is an RPG game with few Puzzle elements, originally developed in 30 days for the event "Make a Game, Win a Game" on the beginning of 2013. This event was inspired by the "RPG Maker VX Ace Lite Cook Off", meaning the game was originally made on RPG Maker VX Ace Lite and following the correspondent limitations.

Gameplay Features
- A Skill Tree accessible through the main menu, where it is possible to learn 12 different abilities divided on the categories Astral (AP) and Energetic (EP).
- A tool used to open sealed passageways and interact with the ambient through marks on the floor. To use the Lyre (when available) you must press the S Key. To play it use the Directional and Z keys.
- A method to obtain items that aren't easily found. On the Alchemy (or crafting) you use special items of the category "Ingredients", which when combined results in more powerful and efficient items. Ingredients are obtained through chests or defeating enemies.

CloseWerid I think I glitch in my game after I beat loctust he the game goes straight end no head or nothing?
author=Cronus
ilhousen:Thank you so much for your thoughts. I don't know if you are still stuck or planning to play, but if you want to I can give you some advice on how to proceed.
I've beat the game with shayoko's help, but thanks for the offer.
I am somewhat divided about the ending.
On the one hand, I like the general idea behind the ending and the fact that they parted ways after it.
On the other, the girl doesn't feel like her own character, just a goal to reach. I understand that, given the game's setup and the act that it is relatively short, there isn't much opportunity for elaboration and foreshadowing, but the lack of build up still feels wrong.
Maybe you should consider adding short flashbacks every time the protagonist plays the regret song to advance the plot or something like that.
Also, I think you were going with "some mysteries are left unanswered" with the demon, its promises and goals? I think that part is too vague and could do with some expanding. You don't need to tell the players everything, but I think more hints about the nature of the world would be nice.

All in all, it is an intriguing and well-made game, but I feel it could generally be expanded to deliver on the intrigue it offers.
I just finished the game and I have to say that this was one of the most unique experiences I ever had and it was really fun to play through and the music was simply beautiful and immersive and the map design is great (plus the effects fit in quite well).
All in all this was one of the best story based games i have ever played(ignoring the few typos here and there)and i am glad to have had the pleasure of playing this great game.

A game full of mystery and small puzzles. A thriller about the ultimate goal of the hero who travels to a spiritual dimension.With many challenges and battles, Zu initially has a great difficulty at the beginning of the game.However, it gets easier as you increase your level.
The game has a very beautiful and full of sound effects sound effects.The graphics are also very beautiful and can give the idea espiruitual dimension.The end of this story is quite amazing and sad.
It is one of the best games I've ever played.
