DIGITALATLAS'S PROFILE

Hey, I'm looking for a game from my formative years. I checked the sites and the lists and I didn't see it. That doesn't mean it wasn't there, but I didn't see it. Unfortunately, I also do not remember the name. I wrote a description for r/tipofmytongue that I will be pasting here, so if there's any oddities in the post, blame it on the paste.

Here's what I remember:

-Turn-based, I believe the characters were on the sides like sprite Final Fantasy games

-The main character had short black hair that was long-ish in the front. He also wore all black with a bit of red and white in the palette. I believe the red was on his chest. Sprites were more like FFVI than Chrono Trigger or FF1. Characters had limbs but weren't very long. Shading on the sprites all around was great.

-Ages ago when I knew what the game was, I found a review of it on an RPGMaker dedicated site that called it a Chrono Trigger rip off (it was not Channel Changer). I don't remember if it was about time travel like Chrono Trigger, but I remember going through a portal (it was the Chrono Trigger portal sprite) and ending up in I BELIEVE a swamp

-I remember the title really got my attention and made me curious, and I'm almost positive it did not have Chrono/Dragon/Final Fantasy/etc in the title. It was not a parody or a fan game, but an attempt at original characters.

-I scrolled RPGMaker's site for 33 pages (Sorted oldest to newest) late last night and I could not find it. It doesn't mean it wasn't in those 33 pages, but I didn't see it

- I didn't patrol RPG maker sites back then so I believe this had some light press/forum notoriety. I may have seen it on a homebrew site for a Kingdom Hearts fan game at the same time (bonus points for this one: it sported an image of a Keyblade wielder who dual wielded two-sided Ultima Keyblades in a white coat. Not the topic here but I'd love to remember this too. Had a demo).

Thank you for any help with this!! I apologize for my vague memory of this game! But I'm eager to find it. It was very special to me at one point and left a huge impression on me at the time. I ended up exploring RPG Maker and gamedev at a very young age after seeing what one person could do, but fifteen~ anxiety filled years left me forgetting almost all of it. I never beat it, I want to go back to it and experience it as an adult. I just hope you can appreciate the challenge!
