The game follows Lunar Warrior Bella as she attempts to destroy a comet threatening to wipe out the survivors, and features a hybrid turn- and action-based combat system that draws inspirations from Mega Man Battle Network, Undertale, and Mario & Luigi.

Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree

Dark fantasy side-scrolling RPG Mandragora: Whispers of the Witch Tree is set in the world of Faelduum, which is in decline as the boundary between it and another realm called Entropy fades, unleashing monsters into the world. Players attempt to take their world back from the monsters, using the legendary Witch Lantern to explore Entropic Corridors, parts of the world already claimed by Entropy.

Online RPG Portal Fantasy puts the player in the role of a human transported to a fantasy world. Enrolled at the prestigious Porble Academy, the player is tasked with fulfilling trivial tasks that will lead to a more perilous adventure.

The game features PvP that allows players to battle each other, with more multiplayer features releasing later, and requires internet access to play, even for its single-player mode.
