SEALED



SEALED. is a fantasy adventure-RPG, reminiscent of old-time RPGs but with a modern tone. The story follows two villagers on a simple errand that quickly snowballs into a catastrophe involving hidden propaganda and the crumbling of the world.

Setting
SEALED. takes place on the world of Spritz, a mysterious land floating in the cosmos, surrounded by pieces of land called the Outer Isles. Scholars have found evidence that these Outer Isles and Spritz used to form some kind of spherical shape, indicating a Cataclysm thousands of years in the past that tore the original planet apart. A mysterious force, the Phantom Stream, the source of magic and supposedly life, holds Spritz and the Outer Isles together.



The story takes place in the year 1234 during a time of relative peace. However, signs of a shadowy phenomenon called the Phantom Eclipse, where a shadowy darkness engulfs the world and causes strange monsters called Shadows to appear, have popped up, urging several researchers to find a way to mitigate the damage done by these strange and possibly dangerous events that occur every 100 years. The last Phantom Eclipse occurred 15 years ago, prompting particularly concerned scholars to conclude something sinister is behind the shorter intervals ...



Story
Players take control of either Ric or Love, two villagers from the quiet, idyllic St. Lemon. A visit by an old mentor and friend and an errand to return lost belongings quickly becomes a strange and confusing adventure where they are forced into situations beyond their comprehension.

Game Features
Besides the classic RPG themes, SEALED. offers a variety of other features: 
 * Explore large cities and buildings! Cities are full of lively NPCs and filled with shops filled with hundreds of unique equipment.
 * Fully illustrated cutscenes: many events in the story will be depicted with fully drawn cutscenes drawn by yours truly.
 * Refining: some pieces of equipment can be "refined" with special items, increasing their value even more. Make sure to hold on to these equipment tightly, as they are only one of a kind!
 * Encounter Rate Management: in the Systems option, players can freely change the encounter rate to encountering enemies every 5 steps to no encounters at all. No more will your adventures be interrupted by endless random encounters! No more will you have to walk miles and miles and spend an hour just to grind, when you can set the encounter rate high and level up in a matter of a minutes.
 * Unique Combo Skills: some classes can chain together skills to quickly rout the enemy in a single turn!
 * Dozens of Subclasses: Besides the characters' basic Class, each of them can have up to 3 subclasses, which help them specialize in different battle strategies! Want a Warrior who uses Magic? Go for the Braver subclass! Want a Cleric that's more on the offensive side? Use the Apostle subclass!
 * Hundreds of Skills: Literally. With so many subclasses to choose from, some of them unique to certain characters, you have literally hundreds of skills to use, allowing a plethora of unique combinations and strategies in battle. A boss can go down with a variety of strategies -- it's up to you to choose how to shape your characters.
 * Up to 20 playable characters: with so many recruitable characters, each with unique stats and subclasses, players can choose from their favourites or spread their focus for tricky dungeons where you have to split up.
 * Runic language: some people in the world of SEALED. speak an ancient language: Runic. Find Runic Tomes around the world to help translate the confusing language and discover secrets in the world ...
