Demo was super short, but I enjoyed it. Took me about 30 min to finish. Story is interesting, if a bit disturbing at times.


If the animals are seen as normal people, why do they take each other's parts? That's like a human killing another human and taking their teeth. A little unsettling, haha. I wanted to play more in order to find the answer.

Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it. It may feel unsettling but I'm sure there is a person out there somewhere in history of mankind who took others teeth for probably equally unsettling reasons :p

We are going live!!! All thoughts and comments inside the video...enjoy

Thanks for taking the time to play through the game and giving me your feedback! I enjoyed your stream and will take all feedback into consideration as there quite a bit of things I thought you made some interesting points that I never really thought about. 

The only thing that (likely) won't happen is getting away from a lot of RTP stuff. I originally actually had just about everything using custom art including the attack/spell animations, but I got a ton of criticism in my own test circle for low quality art and that I would fair much better on RTP over lower quality hand drawn art. I don't have the budget to commission an entire game worth of art so I will most likely only do characters/enemies/battle gear given my budget. It wasn't a decision I wanted to do to revert back to tons of RTP as I felt like I lost quite a bit of identity, but on the flip side my development speed is much faster and as a result allowed the demo you see here to even exist at this point! Tradeoffs.

Again, thank you very much for playing through my demo and giving tons of useful feedback! It really does mean a lot!
