Additional Notes:
Synthoxin is a story driven game. Following the perspective of a… well, more or less reliable journal, of one Sophie Shepard.
Sophie Shepard; a fan of poetry, a dreamer… a farmer. With being born in the rural of Rinam, her only ambition at the young age is to move to the city by any means. Contrastingly, her other half, dreams of removing herself away from the city and back to the farm with the people she grew up with.
The problem you may ask?
Synthoxin.
A rare cruel sinister genetic disease, plaguing the mind. Emerging from the Lhaki War, this disease makes you question what reality is… and what is just simply fantasy. Is that man real? What she just said is false? Is Synthoxin truly a genetic disease?
Following tasks of everyday life, you’ll soon learn more about this Synthoxin and what it does to your character, every time writing into that journal of hers.
And you’ll soon realise that Synthoxin is not truly the villain here.
Something else lurks behind her mind, itching regret and despair.
Question is, will you find out the story of Sophie Shepard?

Gameplay:
The gameplay is mostly simple quests, contributing towards the story, development of the character and expanding lore as well.
It also offers for you to be able to explore Rinam’s District you’re living in… and the farm, learning more of your environment and surroundings of this fictional world.
As said before, Sophie Shepard is a “fan of poetry”, there’ll be multiple poems lying around for you to read, each hinting out the inevitable end of the game.
And of course, there’s multiple Easter eggs scattered amongst the game, how many can you find?

Mapping:
As said, there’s two perspectives of Sophie Shepard’s life, one in the farms, and one in the city. Mapping externally offers you multiple places to go and look around, learning the lore of Rinam. Internally, there are multiple items which should explain more about the current situation of Sophie Shepard.
I’m using paid assets so, it’s a break from RTP resources.

Warning:
Well not really a warning, however, as said before, this is a story driven game, if you expect the RPG Maker battle system, well, there is none. If you like RPG Maker games with their implemented combat system, then you might not like this sorry >.<
In other words, this is not your typical RPG Maker game.
Alongside with that, this is my second project, previously building experience from my first project. So, quality might not be of the highest.

The game description should be more effective, and hopefully that’ll spark more interest.
