MACBLO'S PROFILE

author=Dark Gaia
Hi everyone!

@macblo: Yeah, the fights are hard. It's because this game is meant to be a survival horror themed RPG (enemies are supposed to be a huge threat), plus the battle mechanics are actually emulating a pen and paper game (it even rolls a dice to determine if you hit or not) so fights are dangerous and if you battle every enemy instead of being smart, you WILL die. That said, I will probably tone them down a little in the full game. It also depends on which character background you've chosen -- Priests will die much quicker than Detectives, while Journalists have a crap Combat attribute so they'll take longer to destroy the enemies.

You should have some EXP now, from the first fight and maybe from utilising your non-combat skill (Persuade, Investigate or Occult Lore), so I would suggest heading to the Save Room and increasing your Guts and Combat. You can also sell your supplies for more EXP if you like, and spend it on resting up and learning more powerful skills. Throughout the demo, resting only costs 1 EXP, so it is possible to slowly kill all the enemies if you go back and rest between each fight.

Of course, if all else fails, you can always go into the Config menu and turn on Easy Mode. It will make EXP boosts cost less and healing items will become more plentiful.

Thanks for all your input guys! Do you guys know any games that focus on
the characters, preferably an RPG maker game.

Indra and Fomar's games are great to look into for this. If anything, the fact that I keep recommending In Search of Immortality for anything and everything should be a good indicator of how amazingly well they made their stuff. I hear that The Grumpy Knight also has a great cast of characters but I haven't gotten into it yet.

Both of these are fairly short and mostly comedic games (though In Search of Immortality has dark/serious undertones), but they have interesting characters that players fall in love with, which is the main thing you were asking for, right?
