Hello everyone,
I'm happy to announce that we'll be releasing our game demo and launching our Kickstarter over the next week!
Steam Demo/Prologue - July 25
Beginning Thursday you'll be able to play our demo on Steam! This demo is actually a hybrid game demo and preview of the main story. Half will be devoted to content not in the actual game while the other half introduces the prologue and first ~15 mins. of the actual game.
The reason for this split is that the two pair rather well. The demo features a vertical slice of gameplay elements you'll discover throughout the game including party swapping, equipment upgrades, on-map encounters, and event-based instant victory. Since the story in the demo is canon, it felt natural to extend it into the prologue (the beginning of the full game) so that players can see the conclusion of the events.
Kickstarter - August 1
The following Thursday, on August 1st, the Kickstarter will finally be launched!
Our focus with the campaign will be to finance two talented composers, bringing them on to the team to create the official One Fenix Down OST. We even have a special guest who will be collaborating on the main theme provided that we can hit our first stretch goal.
We're excited to show off our campaign soon and the various rewards people can earn by donating towards our KS goal. Here's the link to our page in case you haven't already followed it:

(As I type this we have exactly 111 KS followers... a little on the nose with our game nameːsteamhappyː)
Demo/Prologue Preview
Play as the mysterious Chichioku and the steadfast Iron Guard as they witness the invasion of the Kingdom of Torloria. Utilize mid- to late-game skills and mechanics as you control the party of veterans. Try to unravel the identity and purpose of these invaders -- why pillage this peaceful kingdom? Why now?
Here are a few samples from the demo:
That’s all for now. Thanks again for the support!
