A downloadable game for Windows and macOS

Incomplete designs and still tweaking monsters and heroes. This is just to test the concept and to help balance out the monsters of levels 1-1 to 2-10. So do comment down below what you think of the game and how it can be improved. Design ideas are also welcomed.

Most of the world have been invaded and destroyed. The only thing left in the world that could overpower the reaper demons is the Orb of Truth hidden beneath the ancient Labyrinth of Ataraxia.

With the great Kingdoms of Blizzard, Lionsgate and elfwood not willing to work together when the reaper demons attacked, the kingdoms though powerful are weak when divided. After 40 years of war and strife, the kingdom of elfwood has been wiped out leaving only remnants of their past glory. Blizzard and lionsgate both reduced to guarding their remaining cities of Toruk and Berg.

Then suddenly, the reaper demons who almost wiped out the remaning lands of blizzard and lionsgate just stopped. Leaving a small region of the world in peace. Peace? Or is this all just a ruse? 

You are the child of the late Heroes, Rin and Trae who both journeyed to the labyrinth of Ataraxia only to never emerge again. You have to find allies and journey down the labyrinth, reach frther than even your parents and find the orb of truth.

I *just* started playing, so a few impressions:

If I've been training my whole life, why am I starting at level one with no technical attacks, magical skills, armor, supplies or money? IMO it would make more sense if I at least started with some starter skills and crappy starter armor. Or maybe I haven't been training my whole life because nobody expected my parents to BOTH die in the labyrinth? Either way, it's a weird plot hole.

The man-eating plant totally destroyed me at level two so for now I'm sticking with bats. So far the only drops I get are 2 gold a kill, so it looks like I'll be grinding in the forest quite a while if I want armor or a better weapon.

At levesl 3 & 4, two slimes have murdered me. I'm staying on single bats until I reach level 7 and I will try for other monsters again.

Learning Fire has really helped; now I can kill bats in 3 blows which is much more efficient. Maybe I'll see if I can kill a man eating plant or a couple of slimes soon.

I am level 7 and have 76 gold. I am going to buy some armor and maybe a better weapon before I even think about fighting a couple slimes or a man eating plant.

There's no way to tell in the shop if any of the more expensive weapons are actually… better? And if so by how much? That's confusingly unhelpful, shopkeeper. The potions shop similarly has no flavor text, so there's no way to tell how far each item goes until you USE it? I haven't bought anything from the store yet, but for example the potions the monsters dropped? I have no idea how much HP they'll give me. PLEASE add flavor text for all your items and weapons.

Wow. Wandered around and found Ren. Also the shop in his town has cheaper armor but more expensive weapons but they're the same stuff?! I legit am gonna restart the game and pick him up earlier because I am level 7 and he is level 1. You… might wanna fix that.

Ren is a mage with 0 starting magical attacks? Another plothole. Even a terrible mage should have a couple starting spells.

With two of us at level 7 I am finally feeling secure in fighting two slimes at a time. Gonna go shopping and get me some armor at the cheap store, I guess.

So… the bows don't do anything for either of my party members? I really hope I discover other party members who can use them…

Picked up Atalier, and she's level 1 while the rest of us are 13, but of course I can't pick her up when I'm at … anything less than 5, I bet.

Freeze appears to actually cast Silence? I'm not sure Anti-heal does anything.

(I know this sounds like all I'm doing is complaining, but I am genuinely enjoying discovering this game.)

The design of the main menu is kind of cool, but the music was wayyy to loud for me,maybe start the game with 50% BGM

Also, there are a few spelling errors

Thnx for testing the game. Will fix it for beta 1.1

Hey guys! DO leave comments on hero or enemy balancing and also ideas for the design, this is a rough gauge design wise.
