Hi there.
Today I'd like to present a demo of my game Hybris Rebirth. I originally developed the game in German and completed it by end of last year. In the German RPG-Maker community it has won the award for Game of the Year 2011. So now, after a few months have passed, I thought it's be nice if the game had an English translation. I started to work on that since a bit more than a week, and I'd like to present the first results. In this demo, three chapters as well as the prolog of course, are playable. The game has a total of 33 chapters (about 50 hours of gameplay), which means there's still a lot of work to do.
Help needed!
I am aware that my English skills are far from being perfect, so I also post this thread to find people for proofreading.
Since there is voice acting in battles, I also am thinking about looking for voice actors for the English version. At the moment, voice acting is in German.
So if you'd like to lend me a hand by proofreading or voice acting, please contact me:

Introduction
Story
The world was ruined by a terrible war. Humanity was fighting over the power of life itself, the Eternal Flow. It was the power giving birth to the world itself, which humans tried to subject.
Even a thousand years after the gods had descended uppon the world to end it, the earth still is desolated.
The veins of the Eternal Flow are corrupted and give birth to terrible creatures known as demons. People can barely survive in this world of suffering.
Hope had been lost, when the gods lead their people, the "pure" into paradise, while the rest of humanity, the "impure", had to carry the burden of its sins and was abandoned.
Since then, life only means to suffer.
For its survival, humanity depends on an organisation called "the Centrum", which preserves the holy order of the three gods. The Centrums power is absolute, it's the voice of the gods and the implementation of their will. The arbitors, the Centrums nine leaders, were chosen by the gods. They granted them immortality to forever protect the world from the manifestation of the corruption of the Eternal Flow, the world destroyer.
Kiro is the hero of this story. He works as a demon hunter for the Centrum. Demon hunters usually don't live long and they are looked down to, because they use the power of pulse, the essence of the Eternal Flow. Kiros pulse abilities are exeptional and were even called unique by high ranking members of the Centrum. Through his abilities, he gets an important mission from the Centrum, which sounds easy at first. He has to protect a girl, who turns out to be one of the pure. Kiro has to accompany her on her journey from the holy city of Rakuen to the holy city of Eden. Since the holy cities are connected by a railroad network underground, the only thing for him to do is sitting in a wagon.
Yet, this journey turns out not to be as easy as expected. Through an accident, Kiro is forced to evacuate from the underground tunnel and bring the girl to the surface. After that, he has to realize that he commited an unspeakable sin by leading her out. A thousand years have passed since one of the pure set foot in the outside world.
