The game is set in a fictional medieval fantasy world where in the a continent exists nations that are in constant struggle with one another. Since the year 650 the nations have fought each other with the worst war happening between the years 685 and 695. It became known as the 10 year war and led the Brumine nation to take control of the Ghora region previously part of the Likram nation. Many lives were lost on both sides but even with the victory the numbers for Brumine were far worse.
Now is the year 706 and tension between the two nations have started to grow again. For fear of another 10 year war protests across Brumine's capital have been a common thing. Meanwhile in the shadows of it all, a young female thief named Estella tries avoid this war from happening using other methods.
Main Characters
Estella: Young 22 year old thief Estella has a hard past behind her. Having lost her father to the 10 year war and her mother for a disease not long after she ended up moving in with her aunt and uncle. Treated as maid and unappreciated by them one day she decides to escape, badly hurting her uncle on the process. On the run she drops a necklace her mother gave it to her. Her only memory of better days. She ends up meeting a stranger she only knows as "The old one" who takes her in and teachers her the way of stealing.
After years of petty thefts she becomes a clever and dexterous thief. Later in her life she befriends the only other student of "The old one" called Tonan, who owns a bar at the capital. She decides to help him with the "jobs" he gets in exchange for his help gathering info on her family's necklace.
Tonan: Tonansky Makownov was born in the cold freezing land of the north. His father was a sailor who got involved with his mother and left to work on a exploration ship but never returned. With all the difficulties of living on the frozen northern regions his mother with his grandparents moved south to the promising Brumine nation and opened a store there. Business was prospering when suddenly his mother ended up getting killed by a thief after leaving the store late at night. He ended up being raised by his grandparents who died of old age later on. In his early 20s he decided to search for his mother's killer and ended up becoming a skilled thief in the process. He later met The Old Man who would become like a father to him.
He's 41 now and stopped being a thief, at least directly.
The old man: Little is known about the old man, except for the fact that he's a formidable thief. He has trained both Tonan and Estella and was known in his youth as the masked thief.

My goal with this project is to make a fun and enjoyable stealth game using the RPG Maker VX Ace. Yep, you read that right, it's a stealth game, not an RPG. I've always loved stealth games and decided to see if I was able to finish one. So the idea is to have a solid stealth game giving emphasis on pure stealth (staying hidden, not being detected, and so on) with a decent story to play out. I'm using a lot of cues from traditional RPG's stories so expect a lot of conversation and character development with mostly being optional.
Questions
- What did you think of the game? What's the best and worst?
- Are you into stealth games? What elements did you miss/ think are necessary?
Thanks for your time. Demo ahead!
