   Rain Garshon, the naive young prince of Glacia, awakens to find his wife strangely absent from their bed. Unbeknownst to him, this marks the beginning of nation-shaking treachery that will turn his once blessed life to utter ruin in a single night.

   This perpetrator of this betrayal, none other than his very own wife Lailah Garshon, has made it impossible for Rain to return to his kingdom. Now, Rain must travel the world of Elesca searching for proof of his lineage.

   However, what he finds is something sinister waiting in his family tree. Before Rain can take back Glacia’s throne, he must first discover if it was ever his to begin with.

FEATURES:
- Completely customizable characters.
- Hundreds of build paths for every character.
- A massive game world, split into four unique chapters.
- A fun and easy to use alchemy system.
- No random forced encounters.
- A cool new skilling system, similar to LOTR: The Third Age.
- An entertaining mini-game in every major city.
- Puzzles in each area to provide fun and unique game play!

UPDATE: Version 2.2 has been released!
This update changes quite a few things! We have fixed some minor bugs, as well as clarified parts of the story in order to properly convey the ideas behind it. We have added some new sound effects in order to better complement our game's unique style. Enemies and stats have been rebalanced, and should provide a more consistent difficulty level while playing through the game. Caves and forests have been given new lighting effects that just give a little bit more visual flair to the maps, as well as their respective battle backs. We have also modified the overdrive images a little bit to make them a bit more unique. The Firian King has been given an entire face set and sprite to match, so he no longer shows only one emotion. The title screen has also been modified a bit, incorporating the new text style with its fonts. Finally, we have added a swanky new save system which lets you know exactly where you left off with more detailed information about your save and a cool little screenshot of the area.

PLEASE NOTE: YOU MUST NAVIGATE TO WHERE THE GAME HAS BEEN EXTRACTED AND CREATE A NEW FOLDER CALLED 'Save' IN THAT DIRECTORY. OTHERWISE, THE GAME WILL ERROR OUT AND CRASH WHEN YOU FIRST ATTEMPT TO SAVE THE GAME. THIS WILL BE FIXED IN THE NEXT UPDATE, SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE YOU HAVE BEEN CAUSED!!

I've finished the game, enjoyed it, and submitted a review. You can't say everything in a review, but one thing I really liked was the joke built in to the dialogue with the suits of armor in the throne room; I was all set to put something in my notes until I hit the last one in the line.

I'm really surprised you guys are finding all of the little jokes I put into stuff. Very attentive you are.
I was tidying up my notes, and I found something which I forgot to mention earlier.

In the Ancient Temple when you first arrive, there is only one ladder you can go up. If you walk on either side of it on the 2nd floor, you create a hole through which you fall back down to the first floor. If you fall through the hole on the left side, no enemies appear on the first floor. If you fall through the hole on the right side, it is as one would expect - they're all over the place. I tried this several times to make sure it wasn't a one-off, and it always happened.

Got it fixed. It looks like Regal had the order of some actions mixed up, good catch again!

Has anyone mentioned the complete in-necessity of a movement tutorial for an RPG Maker game with no custom movement settings applied to it? I'd throw up a popular image that expresses not only how I felt about it but what was actually said, but I think a simple "Yeah I get it" sums it up beautifully.

Not to mention that the title screen starts you off at "Load Game", so you have to move up to get to "New Game" to even start the game.

We have been distributing this game to people in a gaming community. (DirtNap) As well as a ton of our own personal friends. They have no idea what Rpg maker vx is, or what the controls are. Sadly it is a necessary evil. I hope it doesn't ruin the game for you.

I'd love to hear more thoughts you have on the game.
Woo! We're almost done 2.2! just putting the finishing touches on it, and we should be releasing it in the next day or two!!

nevermind. we've run into issues. update sometime.
Due to the afkness I was forced to experience on V-day. That along with the fact that Darkbox is afk all day today. Version 2.2 is delayed another day. The night of the 16th it should be uploaded.
We've uploaded v2.2! Go check it out!
UH OH. It looks like we've ran into a glaring bug with the save system that will error the game out and crash you to the desktop when you try to save for the first time o.0 investigating.

I hit this error before seeing your update, went to where the game is extracted, and it's already got a folder called Save. ?????

It creates the folder once it hits the error. It's supposed to make the folder and then save, continuing on with the game but... something went wrong. I always hate errors like this :( Makes me a sad Box.

Oh well, onwards and upwards. I've started again. I like the improvements in the opening section. Bodes well for the rest, so perhaps you can be a slightly less sad Box.

You did not follow the warnings posted everywhere about creating the 'Save' folder before you save for the first time. That is unfortunately a bug, but we've mentioned everywhere there was a download link that you have to do that. Now that you've encountered the error, the 'Save' folder was created for you, so you'll be able to save normally.

I'm not sure if you were aware of the fact that the actor/Kaduki sprite and facesets you're using for Rain is actually... a girl. If I recall, she's even wearing a skirt in the full body portrait he drew for her (you can see it on his site).

I mean, it's not a big deal but, she does have a male counterpart/similar sprite, you know? It's just a bit awkward trying to play the game while everyone refers to someone who was meant to be a girl as male, haha.

Just a friendly heads-up!
Sorry, that's not actually true. ^^ The faceset we're using is listed under male actors on his website, and here is both of them together where the artist specifically states that the one were using is the boy. Thanks for the heads up though. :P

I know this may seem like a dumb question, but how do I get to the stat distribution screen from the main menu?
