oh boy the game is great with its earthboundish touch to it's own story to begin but mainly... we move on to the worst part of the demo first the major bugs that the testers should always point out but never do... anyways i am gonna list it here mainly all of them are softlocking if you have more then what the wallet can show on your items the shopkeeper softlocks you from moving. when you fight the first enemy (the fire Ant) you can get stuck if you move more into the fire pit or go to the side of the fire pit after defeating it our main character will endlessly stay in place walking making the days go from day to noon to sunset then night and so forth without the game ever doing the introduction after he enters the house. when you leave the cave you can no longer go back cause when you try to go back you clip through the enterance to return to the cave and never be able to move again(for real i wasn't joking about it all being about softlocks i had to restart over 4 times.) but now that that is out of the way now we can talk about the actual story and gameplay it has the earthboundish tone to it and it shines perfectly the story and adventure of what i have witnessed so far with different button mechanics for the skills you earned are astonishing but simple and that is when the fun begins even though it is only just the first chapter i have to say for now i give it a 7/10 just wished it didn't softlock so much. will upload the video when it is fully uploaded thank you for making this can't wait until the full version or chapter 2 comes out :) here is the link hope everyone enjoys the video: https://youtu.be/qpmy9ddDjHI

FORGIVEN
The journey of kids with spiritual powers fighting off ancient evil!
SYNOPSIS
Forgiven is a modern role playing game that details the antics of four kids and their struggles of being the most powerful members of their generation: being able to practice supernatural powers– often known as Soulcasting. Powers of the soul are not learned, gained, or bartered; spiritual powers arise merely with the luck of a pure soul. Take control of these characters, and use their special overworld abilities! Dive into battles, and utilize their attacks to destroy enemies strategically. You'll come to know everything about the four, and how they are integral to the story.
CHARACTERS
Firstly, meet Rob, the hero of the story and main party member. You'll often find yourself controlling him, but the adventure can change and you may find yourself with someone else in the lead! Rob loves his peaceful life in his hometown of Logford, but he discovers all can change one night.
Next, you'll meet Noah, a kid with tech smarts, whose father is a researcher of all things supernatural, and disruptions of these natural balances. Noah is skittish about a long journey at first, but his father brings him up to the task.
Quite later, you'll come across Jenny, a girl from Kalao who is proficient at anything related to water. First mistaking the team for villains, she joins the party with no regret and is always up for getting things done.
Finally, you'll be rescued by the very brave Artis; coming quickly to pick the crew up from an accident related to an enemy ship. Artis simply doesn't quit, and loves all kinds of physical activities, from sports to fighting. Artis is a heavy hitter, and you'll quickly come to realize this.
UPDATES
Curious about the game and want to see its development? Check out our Discord for development and feedback of the game, where I often post updates and announcements. You may also apply to help out as well, if you wish to provide to the game! I personally love just to talk with you guys, so be sure we'll keep you company. We hope to see you there!
Not exactly a devlog, but for people who check Twitter more than GameJolt, this is for you! I now have a Twitter page, where I'll post updates maybe as frequently as here on GameJolt, but I'll likely include some extra info there.

Small update, here’s some enemies! They are under the Monolith Foundation, an evil team of people bent on domination!
Almost 40 followers! Couldn’t thank you awesome people enough ❤️
Some big updates are coming soon, and the first ever demo has a planned release late September of this year!! Stay tuned, and love you guys!
Today's devlog is simply a tribute to the town Logford! It's your ingame hometown, so remember to have a look around and learn about Rob's heritage. Logford has streetlights everywhere, making it easy to navigate, day and night.

Devlog #2!
Another video, showing off the parallax scrolling I just finished! It's quite jittery currently (partly due to the framerate of the video) but I plan on a quick and easy fix!

Devlog #1!
A strange title for a video, but it shows off what it says it does. This is a glimpse into the flow of the inventory system, and how it looks and feels! You can equip items right from your inventory, rather than opening a separate menu.
