Hey, everyone! Last BeNeVoLeNcE, here-- First off, I'd like to sincerely thank everyone who's supported this release as developing this game was a real "life achievement" for me to personally unlock.

Hey, everyone! Because a lot of users may not be familiar with the album that this game is based off of, I thought it would be a good idea to put together a FAQ to answer any questions (or concerns) that might come up about the project! So, let’s get started! "You keep mentioning this 'album of the same name.' Why is that?" Tales of the Elements FC is a Jazzy-Hip Hop album that I produced and r…
