Game

Welcome to my kamishibai show, kids! Gather 'round and I will tell you a story about Ax, Chel, and October in their quest to save their home. But here's where it gets interesting: in this story, *you* get to pick what happens!

Kamishibai is a love-letter to JRPGs.

Unfortunately, our eyes were too big for our stomach with this one. We wanted a full experience with between-battle visual-novel cutscenes, fully voiced intros, and enough eye candy to make the game truly pop. We were close to done, and a lot of the assets are finished, but we don't have the time to put it all together and playtest it to the extent it deserves. This submission is just the combat engine as a tech demo, but keep an eye on the page because we plan to develop this even more!

Since you can't beat the game, I guess you're... stuck in a loop hahaha :sob:

If you find any bugs, please let us know!

I liked the art style and voice acting. It's a shame there isn't more to the tech demo though, and the game description reads pretty cool.
I too would like to see a bigger version on day

Great art style, music and voice acting. What you had was great but it's a shame there wasn't a bit more to it. Look forward to seeing more of this game in the future!
