Story Premise

Nearly a century ago, CORRUPTION EVENTS stripped countless individuals of their identities, losing who they were, and being replaced with blank slates known as the "GLITCHLESS".
Without a face, without a name.  Now, 100 years later, surely such a thing couldn't happen again, right?

GUIDE Verity and her companions on their quest to SEAL the GATEWAYS to the UNSEEN PLANE, and "restore the balance of the world".

That's the right thing to do, right?

The path isn't straight forward, but then again it never is.  In the twists and turns of destiny, the choices you and Verity make will shape the end of this road.

The choices of others too, some you've yet to meet.

Whatever the case, you best be sure to FOLLOW YOUR HEART.  And let Verity follow hers.

GAMEPLAY

GUIDANCE uses a unique system for character progression!

• Collect SOUL SHARDS of different varieties by defeating enemies! FORGE these SHARDS into new WEAPONS, PENDANTS, and USEFUL ITEMS!
  PENDANTS have a variety of effects, such as increasing your stats, making certain damage types stronger, and much more!
  
  Play it safe, or play it risky! Specialize in any damage type! The way you build your characters is up to you!
  No leveling! You get stronger through FORGING new EQUIPMENT and it's up to you what you focus on!
  

• Watch out for your enemies weaknesses! There are four damage types, SLASHING, WHACKING, FLAMING, and LIGHTNING!
  Each one is strong against different foes, and each has a chance to apply a unique status effect whenever it is used!
  

• Collect SPELL SCROLLS to unlock new SPELLS! Throughout the game you will encounter SCROLLS which will grant
  new spells to Verity and her crew! These can also be read for extra lore, and some tips and mechanics information.
  Ned Adams hopes you enjoy his dissertations, even if they are pretty old!
  

• Simple puzzles stand in your way, push-able rocks as well, and you never know when you might need to run for your life!
  The game is fairly linear but be sure to explore a little, you never know what you might find!

Epilepsy info

This game contains some minor flashing lights, and more intense "pulsating effects".

If you suffer from severe epilepsy, please exercise extreme caution when approaching the game, at your own risk.  Maybe have someone else who knows your condition try it for you first.

Luckily, these effects appear near the very start of the game, so if you can handle those alright, you shouldn't have anything to worry about! <3

As for an option to turn these off, it's something I would like to look into down the line, however coming up with a way of not making those same scenes look like crap may be tricky.  Of course, maybe you don't mind if a few scenes look like crap as long as they don't give you seizures.  That's probably fair.

At the moment though, finishing the game is my top priority.  I hope you understand. ^.^

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

The word kill, and the concept of killing is semi-frequent, including used by protagonists.
Only monsters are actually killed... so far...

"Bleed" is a status effect that can be inflicted, and the concept of making enemies bleed to deal extra damage is an aspect of gameplay.
There is no realistic blood, nor does blood display on any characters at this time.

Damn and h-e-doublehockeysticks are used infrequently, including with hostility.

The game may get pretty emotionally heavy, with some difficult moral dilemmas, if I pull this off right!
