Small introduction; some time ago I posted the same Hack on this forum but it was still in its infancy with several errors and the graphics section was not yet complete; we continued to work on it especially under lockdown to release a complete and enjoyable product.
We worked on some rather particular things, putting on a pedestal a player who is constantly faced with doubts and choices around him; the maps are new, large and well-stocked (in terms of tools); some implementations such as quick healing, move memory and name change are useful conveniences strongly desired by the team; also the adaptive difficulty system, a fundamental implementation that makes the game stimulating and never banal, preventing you from playing blindly by randomly leveling up and hitting like blacksmiths.
This Hack is divided into 3 chapters which develop a different and stimulating plot; exploration undoubtedly reigns supreme but it also lends itself very well to speedruns or nuzlocks (due to the variety of choices that can be made in game).
This first chapter has a conclusion so in fact it is a complete hack in ITA, in the meantime work has already started on the second chapter, which won’t take too long but on the contrary, we would like to see as many people as possible play it because many things have been implemented, even simple ones dialogues, often come from advice from people who have played and have written to us for compliments and criticism.
I’ll leave you with a bit of plot, some screenshots and the written documentation to prevent anyone from getting stuck for any reason (a bit like the 90s/2000s booklets).
