Phantasy Series Reference Opus

KNOWN BUGS (as soon as I overcome struggling with Steam to update my phone number, I'll make the bug fixes live)

• Pausing and unpausing makes multiple songs play. Please just don't pause for now
  
• If you begin to transition rooms then move, the screen darkens but you don't transition rooms. Please don't move after room transition begins

NOTE: This currently consists only of the first chapter of the game (about 2 hours of gameplay, less if you enable cheats (yes you can enable cheats), more if you stop and smell the roses). The game will be released episodically. Also, check the content warnings.

Welcome to the world of Phantasy Series Reference Opus (PSRO), a game hopefully with the feel of an early 90's RPG. Guide Zemi as she progresses through life, and determine how she handles its vicissitudes.

Features:

• Unleash powerful combo attacks!
  
• Explore!
  
• Party!
  
• Squirrel(s)!
  
• Squirrel minigame!
  
• More references than you can count! (well, more than I can count)
  
• Exploit "glitches"!

Future plans:

• Release the rest of the chapters. Not gonna lie, it's going to take a long time, got a full time job and a buncha kids.
  
• Implement new mini games/subsystems with every chapter. Fishing, "monster" breeding, etc.
  
• Maybe get custom sound effects (right now they all come from freesound.org).
