My laptop sucks too  much to run this game (Seriously, it's a genuine slideshow for me), which is really unfortunate cause I was really interested in playing this one (Obviously not gonna rate it since I literally can't play it).

I will say tho, the art style looks really nice imo. As I'm familiar with the MV RTP, I tell a lot of it is heavy edits of it, and it's done really well. Nice music at the start too. I just wish I could comment on the game itself.

Edit: It does run on my phone, but that method doesn't really help since it wasn't designed for that and I can't move (I can open the menu, since MV has a way of doing that by default, but that's it).

"And so [I] left"

The game was fun. The visuals are very pleasant, you managed to give a common coherent style to  the two different packs and I probably like the 3D part more than when it's not black & white. The tunes are nice. I like that the game is not too easy, I needed to apprehend a few things, such as which order to deal with the different areas seemed like the most natural one, and restarted a couple of times before finally playing a real run to the end. Several areas you can deal with in any order but whose difficulty does not have to be equal is my favourite kind of structure so I really like this one. I like the orthogonal power of the different pieces of equipment which can all be bad or good depending on what enemies you're fighting, and the same can be said of skills, choosing in which order to unlock the skills and switching between different pieces of equipment depending on the area was really fun. Typically using the Lost Flame against the zombie prisoners is cool. The encounter rate is perfect, I like abusing Meditate+Heal and also like that it's not super efficient (it takes time) and that you don't have to and the game is well balanced, the boss fights are satisfying. Finally I like getting 3 torches all at the very beginning and using them whenever I want, that's typically the kind of thing which might scale weird (I mean it might make you play weird) to a bigger game but can be a very cool feature of a small game.

This a cool entry, thanks for sharing.

1-bit artstyle looks very cool. I especially liked the enemies. There's a Dark Souls vibe in the game like the camp fire mechanic, music and overall art. The music is also very good, fits the mood of the game.

I think you also got the difficulty from Dark Souls :) The enemies have too much HP and they don't die forever. You eventually die after 2 or 3 fights bcs you don't have any healing item left. You also cannot avoid enemies bcs they appear randomly it's a good thing that the frequency of encounters is low at least.

Overall an artistically good looking game with punishing difficulty. A pretty solid entry. Nicely done!

I really liked the mono 1bit graphics - well done on that front. Sound is find.

I found the tile size to be a bit small, and missed the ability to strafe, also wasn't a fan of the combat, as it takes you out of the scene and jars a bit.

There seems to be some form of issue with objects not being centered correctly on tiles. when you are next to the they sort of rotate round the tile and not pivot in the centre

But I do really like the presentation and the graphics :)

Cool art style and atmosphere, I didn't realise you could do this type of game with RPG Maker, very cool plugin, it's been a long time since I used it.  Very surreal and nice level layout and I liked the torches idea for the campfires that you had to save game with sparingly.  It did give the game doom and gloom feels doing it that way, which added to the atmosphere.  I also liked the timed spiked floors and hostile plants.  Good jam game, nice work!

The very familiar JRPG-style control scheme made it easy for me to get into and figure out systems.

Nice black and white graphics. Not really fond of RPG maker combat, but it works. Good submission.

REALLY good this. It needs some fine tuning, but you'd expect that being only given a week. What you've created here in that time is tremendous tbh!

Yeah, I'd like to be able to strafe left and right. And it's not always obvious where you're going, or what you can interact with.

But who cares. Easy 5 stars for me this one. Well done!

Another fantastic entry in this jam. The monochrome graphics fit the atmosphere perfectly, to go along with the mysterious setting and moody music. The movement is perfect and I like how you can turn and move simultaneously (thats how it felt anyway). The combat has tactical depth and lots of options to buy new skills. The 3 torches might be exactly right for the difficulty although I screwed up and went to the jail first, wasted one recovering and kinda set myself back.

Unfortunately I had a string of bad luck trying to complete the jail shardbearer (i managed to complete the forest). My first go I got executed for 100 damage when I had maybe 1 more round to go. The second attempt I defeated them, but died to bleeding and my items were grayed out for some reason, so that was a bummer. I'm gonna let it be for another go later. Hopefully it saves to local data because I really want to finish this one.

Awesome job!

First off I'm in love the visuals here, just really great. Overall atmosphere is excellent, creating a really cohesive vibe. The world is intriguing and I wanted to know more about it, helped along by the writing. Also the game is just generally polished and complete. Great job for a jam game.

I. Have. Ascended! Pretty complete game! Monochrome graphics are great, though sometimes the billboard effect on doors can be confusing. I liked that items actually did something and helped depending on the area you're in. Overall a good atmosphere and good gameplay! I liked the addition of the demons after defeating the bosses, though they still spawn before fighting a shard bearer if you say no. Nice job!

I love the polish on this. Combat feels great. Music and art feel cohesive. The billboard sprites are sometimes annoying to read. I would love if people implemented a toggle to swap QE/AD for turn/strafe.

This is one of my favorites so far. Overall great, cohesive vibes. 

This feels a lot like a complete game, very impressive (to me) for a game jam entry!  
I love the monochrome palette! It works nicely here.  

Great atmosphere and very cohesive art style. The game's visuals were very strong.

Good atmosphere and a very complete game. Menus, skills, everything and the kitchen sink ;)
I like the 1bit aesthetic very much and the sound is very nice, too.

Nice job! great presentation and atmosphere! great artstyle

Very very cool! Everything being black and white really works well for the mood you're going for. The combat and object you pick up are also interesting. At first being so limited in resources/heal was a bit stressing me out, but there is not so much random encounter. Very nice entry.
