FARAWAYTHYER'S PROFILE

Hi KrimsonKatt!

The only way to restore MP in Facets is to use healing items, which are available in limited quantities in treasure chests around the map. You're correct that enemies give no EXP. All the bosses are balanced around fighting them at the level you start the game at.

The challenge of Facets is in fighting the increasingly hard bosses while managing your dwindling stock of healing options. It's very possible to reach the final boss and not have enough resources to win -- several of my test players who beat the game used their very last potion during the final boss. Facets is inspired by survival horror-y RPGs like Final Fantasy Legend and Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter, and it's supposed to be very taxing to play.

It sounds like it's not your kind of game, which is fine! Some of my best friends didn't enjoy it at all. But I love these sorts of games, and I haven't played any made in RPGMaker before. I'm happy to fill an extremely under-served niche.

I've considered making an "easy mode" version of the game that's less miserable, but... I feel like that wouldn't be fair to Alyssa. Her fight's hard enough as it is.
