DEVELOPER'S NOTE/CREDITS:

This was my very first RPG Maker game created for a game jam, and a lot my time was spent simply figuring out how the engine worked. As such, I decided to use a lot of default assets that came with the engine to save time and focus more on mechanics and storytelling.

Only a small handful of visual assets (most notably, a custom tile set I made for lighting) are original. All of the music is original! All other assets are default.
