This game may not be for all audiences, please read the Crazy Chimp Collective Tolerance Advisory to know if this game may be problematic for you. It is your only protection.

Everything is possible, sadly, there are very few who realize the possibilities.

This is where the Menagerie differs.

Menagerie is a turn-based RPG with a heavy emphasis on crafting and character building.
  • Incredibly fun gathering system where you can tear a map apart for resources.
  • Interesting and surprisingly deep crafting system which allows you to craft any item in the game, so long as you have the materials and the required codex.
  • A crew of flawed funny characters with endearing traits, strengths and weaknesses.
  • The game is loaded with optional content and easter eggs from start to finish, including a 7 hour long side campaign that starts shortly before the final boss.
  • Taking place primarily on Nadine and Galaxia, the game world opens up immensely in Episode 3: Insurgency
  • An immensely thrilling action-packed story taking you on a grand quest to save the universe from Galaxion Authority and whatever emerges in the fires of such an insurgency.
  • Highly engaging turn-based combat with a heavy emphasis on strategy and knowing when to use what.
  • Several intense and fun minigames to break up the RPG a little.
  • I could go on but I think you've probably been impressed already, best I leave some surprises~

In a universe scarcely ruled by its Aspects and seldom marred by the intervention of gods, it was the betrayer who alerted the Aspects to the unfortunate reality that shit has indeed, hit the fan.

Please enjoy this enrapturing brief provided by Tac Talismina so that I can gush about her amazing voice actor in turn, thank you!

Reserving post for future content and cataloguing known issues.

Known Issues:
-The Gathering system will likely lag for but a few frames each time you cut something down, you can go to the options for the game and setting Item Pickup Display from On to Off to remove this. Unfortunately this is an irritating flaw of all pickup systems made for VX Ace due to Ace's poor text-rendering framework.
-There would be even more optional content via the optional campaign, but it has yet to have been developed, and now likely won't until Menagerie: Malicious Vendetta
-Due to the engine's limitation and me scrambling at every chance to poke fun at how they exist, there are several places where the game may lag some on low-end PC's.
-It's been a while so i can't remember much else, but if I do I'll update this post accordingly.
