A passion project, many years in the making. This is the remastered (possibly final) version of the game. It is a 8-10 hour long JRPG made in RPG maker 2k3 with heavy focus on the story.

Story:

The war against magic is here. Grey and George are two 17-year old kids whose life turns upside down when their home gets destroyed by an organisation called New Dawn. Caught in the middle of the war, as Rhodya is splitting in two (between those who have magic blood and those who don't), Grey and George will discover that they have a bigger role to play. They decide to embark on a journey to stop New Dawn and find out the truth about their heritage and why their home was destroyed.

Gameplay:

-Fast paced JRPG with heavy focus on the story.

-Customizable party with classes.

-You can power up by gathering crystals by exploring and doing side-quests that add more to the story.

-No level-up system, no grinding required.

-An optional challenging mode for those who want a challenge.

-Humor and drama.

-Explosions.

-Even more explosions.

This version of the game is not monetized, meaning it's completely free. Reason for that is that there is a lot of copyrighted material in it. There might be a remake or a sequel (or a prequel) in the future that might be a fully-fledged commercial game, who knows. But until then you can enjoy Shadow's Penance for free (yey!).

To those who have played the old version, this can be considered a remake. There is a lot more to the story now, a lot more characters and cutscenes, a lot more depth.

Coming soon

Regarding Shadow's Penance release, I've been working on two major updates:

1. I've changed the whole soundtrack, removing copyrighted songs

2. I'm drawing facesets (with expressions etc). It's tons of work but I believe it's gonna be worth it in the end

So the main story is complete and now I'm currently working on the 'New Dawn' path, which you can reach if you make certain choices. Once the 'New Dawn' path has been completed the game will be ready for playtesting. It might be sooner than expected.
