About the Game
Light Fairytale is a turn-based Japanese-style RPG series set in a dying underground world ruled by an evil empire.
The goal of this project is to bring back the immersion and emotion of 90’s era JRPGs on current platforms with the expected evolution in both design and technique.
Episode 1 is the start of the adventure. Play as Haru and his childhood friend Kuroko as they fight a dark empire in the underground ‘Lower City’.
Characters
Haru
A bit lazy and a lot naive, Haru nonetheless is a kind soul and knows how to handle himself if push comes to shove.
Kuroko
She might be short and cute (sometimes), but don’t let that fool you: Kuroko is exceedingly capable in battle and always willing to step up. She’s also fond of technology – maaaybe a bit too much so.
Notes about the Light Fairytale series
Each episode is a standalone game, approximately 2 to 3 hours long for a first play-through, double it for a full completion of all the achievements and secrets.

Solid, very classic and simple JRPG. Great visuals, banging soundtrack, and well-written dialog. But it being very short (~2-3 hours single run) and a lacking combat system leaves desire for a lot more. Given this is an indie game, has native linux support and is quite cheap, its worth picking up if your into classic NES-era JRPGs and want to support an indie dev that put love into a product. However, it definitely feels early-access even if its being release in several parts. But the effort shows and it makes it a charming game to play none-the-less. Hope to see more stuff like this on Steam... just wish it was released as fully-complete product.
