Spoiler: ”Synopsis”

Welcome to "Four Corners",

A vile subcontinent; once the bane and fear of a

kingdom long forgotten, it's citizens are mostly

made of the banished civilizations of the northern

lands, now so many years removed as to have

defined themselves as cultures on their own.

To the west; a federation of experimental

democracy, full of corruption and a dream of vast

riches amongst it's citizens. It’s leaders; inventors

and diplomats.

To the east; a land of wheat, rice and fish, never

a man to starve, but never a man to fortune. It’s

leader; a powerful god among men using the

power of aura to provide for his people.

To the south; hoards of jungle folk, some weak

some so powerful as to strangle the forces of

nature between their fingers. It’s greatest leader;

an eater of gods.

To the north; a kingdom of ritualists, a group that holds the mountains and skies within high regard, disallowing the people of the land access to the north. Their leaders; fat and corrupt, incompetent

noblemen, mistreating its people through lies.

From this last one arrived Alexis, a young

woman kicked from her home and picked up by

Reginald and his mercenary camp “Reginald’s

Knights”.

She has been a part of this group for over a

year...



This, is her story….

Or at least such is the intro to the game. It is a classic JRPG in style, but I have added a few twists from modern titles to try and add something special.



+The weapons are Incomparables, allowing for diversity in approach to battle rather than simple lists of numbers.

+I’ve added Persona like social links into the game allowing for a Party that develops based on interactions day to day. This will provide new mechanics like in Persona 5 as well as alternate endings.

+A faith system, allowing you to pick and upgrade the values of a chosen religion, I have not yet decided if this will effect the story.

+An semi open world, allowing you to participate in side quests and alternate goals outside of the story. The extent of which I develop side quests and such will be determined by the length at which I spend time on this. Theoretically I will simply continue to add them till nothing fits.

+I have been doing my best to allow the game to be gracefully speedrun but this is a side note.

+I have made many efforts to include character development through dialogue, including a fair share a both comedy and seriousness.
