Hi, there. If you don't know me, I'm Johnathan, and I'm the programmer and writer of Alcarys Complex. I've worked on this game with a few other people, and it's almost ready for release.
I've taken a reasonably experimental approach when designing this game - I kept what I liked (overarching narrative, strong character presence, and exploration) and removed what I didn't (grinding, stock character archetypes, and other such nonsense), and the result is a somewhat alien JRPG that emphasizes story, but tries its best to intertwine gameplay and story as much and as often as possible.
If you like story-based role playing games, by all means, check it out.
Here's our trailer:
We're also running a Kickstarter campaign until May 23rd, so if you like it enough, you can help support us and preorder the game for 50% off. Contributions above that will get you perks like build repository access, signed prints, and maybe even your own NPC in the game!
Any contributions would be most appreciated. If you're unsure about it, you can play our beta demo to get a feel for the gameplay and storyline.
Thanks for your time!
