There are 3 different versions of this game that were drawn out with the second and third kinda mixing together. See for what I have been working on since April has been going off the second written version of this game, but I have made major changes along the way, making what I am working on now a third version of the game.
The first drawn out version of this game was supposed to be like a top-down RPG style, no voices, just textboxes, and you would be switching between 3 different characters as the game went on. The moments when you would have to fend off something, you would switch from a top-down perspective to a first-person style like the game is now. If you guys want more information on how that old version would have gone then I will gladly tell.
Edit: At one point in early development, I had the idea to use ray casting as part of the free roam aspect, but I ditched the idea as it wouldn’t look too good.
