Created by the one-man, one-cat development team of Hallway Games, I'm proud to announce the demo of The Last Relic: Curse of the Lostaways!

Take a look on its Itch.io page

This project was born several months ago, at the beginning of the lockdown. After losing my job, I decided to use the free time I had to do what I've always wanted to do; make a video game. October of last year, I launched a Kickstarter campaign alongside a demo of the game. It failed. 

Determined not to give up, I went back to the drawing board! I started from scratch, planned a similar but new project, and jumped back into it. Fastforward today, and I'm proud to release the demo of The Last Relic: Curse of the Lostaways. 

The Last Relic is an upcoming turn-based JRPG inspired by the 90s classics that defined my childhood. It aims to adopt the best aspects of the Golden era of JRPGs, re-purposing them to create a unique, charming adventure that stands on its own in the modern age.

The Last Relic is set to launch first on PC (Steam, Itch.io, GameJolt), with plans to port to consoles in the near future.

I'm happy to announce the Demo for my Kickstarter, which is now live!

Take the role of Ellie, young girl in the quaint town of Haven who is spirited away to a world of magic and whimsy, in this 90s inspired indie RPG. Join a colorful cast of characters while battling through a diverse collection of locales against vicious enemies and devastating obstacles!

• A character rich, turnbased RPG inspired by Japanese classics such as Earthbound and Chrono Trigger.
• Battle fierce monstrosities and quirky aberrations with a quick-paced, strategic battle system, awarding players using varied combinations of skills and attacks.
• Unfold the story through a genre-shifting adventure: gameplay grows, evolves, and alters to present a variety of mechanics to players.
• A hub-town used as a base to recruit new members, develop and increase social levels with other characters, and even start your own farm!
• NPCs with personalities. Players will meet a diverse cast of distinct personalities, each with their own backstory and contribution to lore and world-building.
• Side-quests that matter; every side-quest is built towards expanding lore and offering beneficial rewards no matter how over-leveled you become.
• An exclusive, stand-alone story for the demo!
• 2-3 hour long demo!
