What's new

Two small bug fixes and a Korean script update

2022-05-12

Korean Language Script has been updated! Bug Fix 1 : When learning the GEO song from Georgia, talking to her while she is whistling will cause the song to become unlearnable. This was previously worked around by exiting the room and talking to her again. With the new fix, talking to Georgia while she is whistling won't cause the song to be unlearnable. Bug Fix 2 : Mashing the text in Ouroboros Hideout may cause an Ouroboros Proof to not be given to players. With this new fix, even if this occurs, the player can still proceed through the boss door so long as the three trials are finished.

You cannot interrupt attack animation to jump, yet your jump attack can get interrupted from landing. So you get the worst of both worlds with this design. Top it off with strong enemy attacks making you bounce around the screen like a table tennis ball into more attacks or environmental hazards. Any...

It's a fun 2D Zelda-2-like - so you'll wander around a 2D world, platforming and RPG-puzzling your way from location to location to solve a big mystery, using tools and talking to people and managing an inventory and so on. In that sense it's a great game - good looking, nice sounding, and more or less enjoyable to play. I'm still putting this in the 'did not finish' pile, though, simply because your character...
