Appease the Gods
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
Our Yuri Game Jam 2023 entry attempt.
There are two mysterious towers that randomly appear in different parts of the world from time to time and the Gods choose two heroes to try to earn their favor. These chosen ones enter the towers and...the rest is unclear. No one ever returned or anyhow interacted with the outside world after entering the tower.
That's where the story unfolds.

So, that is it! We successfully released our first ever game! At least a demo of it! It was such a wonderful adventure working on it, slowly getting it done piece by piece. We all had some prior experience, but none of us ever worked on something as big ((and cool, honestly)). It was a total blast and we did our absolute bests.
Sadly, we weren't able to add a lot of ideas we had for the demo. Proper tutorial section, item shop, stress and consequences system, dialogue options and much-much more! Gosh, even the yuri aspect of the game is kinda out of the board because we were running out of time! But I hope you could really see how charming all of the characters are and how much love we put in this project. Don't tell anyone, but my favorite girls have to be Yrellis and Lavender. I'm absolutely in love with them.
I hope you'll be able to enjoy this little game as much as we were enjoying making it.
With love, your Rubyheart Games.

Love Felicia!!!!!!! She is great!!!!!
This is insanely polished for a jam game wtf!! I loved the mashup of all the different art styles, all of the controls felt good, and I was genuinely impressed at your implementation of a wrap-around world border in the hub!
The characters were cute, everything looked phenomenal, great work, especially for your first ever game?? Cheers :3
Oh man, this is the most fun I've had so far with these games! There's so much to say. First off, I really, really like the presentation of the game itself, the 3D world and the cute 2D sprites work very well together, and it's a look I would like to see for the whole game.
The music fits the mood of each 'part' of the game nicely, especially the town and battle themes. And as for the writing and characters, those are very cute and enjoyable too! I love Felicia and Lily, and for a while I didn't realize Lily's ears were there, I thought it was just part of her hair. But now knowing the truth it makes her design ten times cuter. Same with Felicia's big perky ears!!! I love them and I love these two.
The gameplay was also very fun, from someone who very much enjoyed Slay the Spire but found it a bit too difficult. The three demo fights were challenging enough without it being too much, in my opinion. The only thing is maybe I would've liked a tutorial for the mana and time mechanics, but eventually I understood them.
Anyway, in summation this is a fantastic demo and I'll be following you for future updates, because I can't wait to play more!!!
Thank you for all the incredibly nice words!!! The whole team was moved by your comment.
We added a Combat Tutorial to the download files to soften the learning curve as much as possible. I hope that everything that isn't immediately obvious gets cleared up with it!
