Time for more updates! Thanks for all the honest feedback. I'm looking forward to adding more to this game and making it to the best it can be over time.  If you are an lgbtqia+ friendly gamer please help me out and spread the word (please note this game is not intended for small children, some scenes have disturbing implications).

• A multitude of bug/typo/tileset fixes.
• Reveal changed to Expose. I played around with this in my head for a while, but I'm hoping it will be slightly more intuitive.
• Starting at boss 2, HP of boss fights reduced 10-20%. This should speed up fights.
• Added a boss challenge at the beginning of each boss (again, starting at boss 2). Completing these challenges earns you Challenger Coins which can be redeemed for unique one of a kind items/equipment. (Not available for purchase in demo, but you will keep your coins if you hold on to your save file).
• The Mistress's Metal Burn effect is reduced. Life Ender now only reduces HP by 500 versus dropping to 1 HP.
• Bug fixed where if you return Abby before starting the boss of the ???? tower you cannot proceed.
• A look at the outside of the Hallowed School (the scene should play even if loading a later save file. Go to the map where party member # 4 first joins your party). If loading a later save file, you may be blocked from going to Nani's area in upper Hrelda until you complete the sequence.
• Added several smaller scenes to Hrelda, such as saying goodbye to Nani and James and a new small scene with party member #4.
• Added some new NPC interactions (bartender Hrelda, etc).
• Credits added to all the play testers so far.

The boss changes will hopefully cater to both more relaxed players and ones who want a grueling challenge. Note that even with the boss nerfs, they're still not something you can slouch on and expect to win.  

Outside of battle, I've added new scenes to Hrelda, which some felt was a little rushed. 

Moving Forward

Please look forward to the future  addition of Delfor Manor outside of Jordstown. This Manor will have an additional side quest and exploration options. In addition, a new version of MZ has been released with core updates that are said to speed up some of the animations and processing. So I'm hoping in a future upload to have even better framerates in animation heavy scenarios.  

Some things I really would like feedback on are:

1) The pace of the story and what you understand so far. Note that the demo does not get into the meat of the story, it's setting up all the actors at play. 

2) Dialogue.
