This is the game version of ancient-era fantasy comics by James Hendry. It is a visual novel with some RPG elements as Xerxes fights to end the desert curse, liberate the Jamesos Realm from Astarte and heal the scars from his past.
Features:
- Turn-based combat with extra elements, press the right buttons to attack. Block and dodge incoming attacks by moving left and right.
- Multiple pathways that change how the story will unfold (3 main endings planned) with mini endings that will create variances to those endings.
- Multiple waifus to cuddle up with. (7 so far)
- Craft various items that will help your journey.
- Visit multiple locations throughout the story.
Contains some violence and mild sexual stuff but nothing explicit.
Controls for the defending sections of combat:
Z to go left
C to go right
Controls for shooting:
X to shoot
Current Development Plan:
Develop and update the game when a new story section is made. Sections will be developed for all the 3 main storylines.
- The Anti-Stealth Tablet: Follows the main comic where Xerxes seeks to reassemble the Anti-Stealth Tablet.
- The Fall of Zardonia: A storyline caused by a simple mistake that embroiled the whole region in war.
- A Personal Curse Lifted: Xerxes decides to end his Ahrimaniom curse once and for all.
Next Update Plan:
Adding in the Infiltration of Bala-Axerium section for the Fall of Zardonia storyline( Version 0.2.3 ) and the Miidos Meeting for the Anti-Stealth Tablet storyline ( Version 0.2.4 ).

Do you know if this works with screen readers?
It's unlikely because the combat (part of the RPG elements) has the player dodge oncoming obstacles and collect objects to avoid damage or do damage back.
Great a NEW update!
