Crescent Prism: Chapter 1 (2019 Version)
A downloadable game for Windows
"You might find the festival strange now, Lunita. But the people of Merryday wouldn't be able to live the way they do if not for the blessings of the moon. I think you will understand. Perhaps not now, but one day when it is your duty to protect them as the Oracle."
Crescent Prism is a story-driven RPG that follows the story of Lunita, a young girl from the bustling hamlet of Merryday Village. Each year, the people of Merryday give their thanks to the moon during the Crescent Festival. Though antiquated as Lunita sees it, her mother Astrid is confident that she will one day understand its importance, as expected of the one who would take her place as Oracle.
Little do Lunita and Astrid know that a great disaster would befall them on the eve of the festival, changing their lives forever.

Well, that was certainly a wild ride. I enjoyed the tale of Lunita, Maru, Amos, and Rain.
I also became quite fond of the other characters for so many reason: Flayt and his Adventure Guide, Laundro's introduction, Buck and Moppin's banter, Scorchpion's reaction to losing his flame, Bouncer's indignation, Nova, Klieg, and Fluoros for their presence in Sundown Squad (plus their extra scene), Count Chroma for his genuinely intimating presence, Professor Tide for helping the part with science, and Astrid... for everything she did to protect her family.
I loved the unique mechanics as well, as the ability to change the phases of the moon adds quite a bit of nuance to the various battles. I also liked the option of skipping encounters after reaching a target level.
I know that this project is currently in limbo, but I would greatly like to see more of it in the future.
I rlly enjoyed this game! the only small problem i had with it was that some of the characters sprites were to silmilar like rain and astrids sprites
Very fun, can't wait for the full thing!
Super interesting! Best of luck! Love the art!
