Project Re:VOLVE
A downloadable game
THE CURRENT DOWNLOAD IS A PRE-ALPHA WITH DEBUG ENABLED, IT IS NOT THE FINAL RELEASE!
I still highly encourage you to play it though! Please record play-throughs/let's plays and upload them in the comments if you can too, I'm trying to hunt down bugs and glitches!
IMPORTANT FIX FOR ISSUES EXTRACTING:
I do not have a certificate or whatever for the exe, and Window's (and most anti-viruses) read it as a virus due to it's 4th wall breaks! Please be sure to disable your Anti-Virus when extracting, and add an exception to it. If you get a Windows Smartscreen error, please press More Info > Run Anyway
Project Re:VOLVE is a lighthearted and comedic RPG and Bullet Hell Hybrid about a HUMAN that accidentally finds their way into the World of Spirits.
"Let me tell you a story that is as old as time... A story of HUMANS, a story of SPIRITS, and a story of EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN..."
After getting lost within the depths of a cavern, you uncover a large and mysterious book written in a language you cannot understand. Upon opening it, a wolf SPIRIT is released from the book, while also placing the books curse onto you!
Together, the two of you must embark on a journey throughout the THREE KINGDOMS within The Outer Ring of The Re:VOLVE. You may choose to SAVE these THREE KINGDOMS from the DARKNESS, or you may become part of the DARKNESS itself.
The game has also seen lots of positive comparisons to games such as UNDERTALE/DELTARUNE, OMORI, Oneshot, and Yume Nikki, along with comparisons to other media such as Spirited Away, and Homestuck.
Features:
- A very quickly growing and completely original soundtrack composed by NiKU (the developer) with a similar style to UNDERTALE and Touhou Project, with over 50 tracks so far! Click here to listen to a small demo...
- An easy to understand battle system that allows you to befriend enemies, rather then hurting them.
- Multiple endings depending on the choices you make throughout the game.
- A linear EPISODE based story-system that can be picked up from any time, along with recaps at the start of each EPISODE.
- The pre-alpha demo alone has over 3 hours worth in content, and is quickly growing. (To put it into perspective, the FULL DEMO is planned to have 4 out of 12 ~ 14 episodes. I'm barely through with working on episode 2!)
- Game breaking mechanics that completely shatter the 4th wall!
Project Re:VOLVE is developed in Clickteam Fusion 2.5! It utilizes Ultimate Walrus' Ultimate Fullscreen, Cellosoft's Text Blitter, Anders Rigglesen's Perspective Object, Looki's Shaders, and Anders Rigglesen's Easing Object.
The music was almost entirely composed within FL Studio and occasionally OpenMPT.
Most of the art is done either in Aeseprite or Clip Studio Paint.

is the house supposed to place your character Out Of Bounds when going down the stairs? Oh and i cant get in the game again until i reset my pc when it does this
Bug:it is impossible to beat the first boss in chapter 1
fixed in the latest patched! ty for letting me know
No problem (gonna re-download the patch to see if it works now)
Still doesnt work (gets stuck on the end of fight dialog)
Though i doubt it. It could be a save file issue
are you still encountering this issue?
i swear ive fixed it like four times now lmaois the game locking up in the boss fight, or is it not showing the cutscene before the fight??When I extract the zip file through both 7zip and Winrar (Antivirus disabled), the executable gets detected as corrupted.
Checking "Keep broken files" in Winrar and extracting using 7zip manages to get the .exe into the folder, however, when attempting to run it, an error prompt appears stating that "This app can't run on your PC"
Perhaps you can upload the .exe and .txt file as separate downloads? Considering SC:SU works and runs perfectly okay without the hurdle of having to extract it.
Just a thought. Very promising looking game though!
i've gone ahead and updated the link, thank u for letting me know!!
it should work now :]
