Zephyrus (4+ Hour Demo)

[Radscythe]

Game made using RPG Maker VX

This is the third month of October in a row where something horrible is planned to happen. Instead of going trick-or-treating, kids are instead forced into their homes. There may be no school in October, but no Halloween? Not to mention being unable to go outside.

What exactly happens? Starting on the 1st and ending on the 31st; nightfall brings upon itself a thick mist that carries with it fearsome beasts that massacre any human in sight. The only way to remain safe is to keep your doors and windows closed.
The rules of the mist prevents anything from attacking you so long as you follow that simple rule to remain safe.

Enter a young man, Sven, who decides to take matters into his own hands and finds out not only the cause of the monsters, but the extra wonders of the mist. Are you ready to trek into the mist?

Spoiler

Sven Hawthorne:
Who once worked himself to the bone for his friends Josh and Karen, Sven now lounges in a friend's basement all day while refusing to look for a job. Sven's not exactly the lazy sort, but refuses to grow up and do the normal things that everyone else around him have grown accustomed to. Getting tired of doing nothing; Sven instead decided to look back at his helpful nature and put an end to the mist. Only problem is...he has no idea where to start.
Age: 21
Element: Earth
Weapons: Any

Chloe Clark:
Chloe is a kind and considerate young woman who is searching for her third sister alongside her other sister Anna. She may seem unsure of herself at times, but the fact of the matter she's actually confident in her abilities; instead it's more like she feels bad for getting into fights whether they be verbal or physical. When meeting Sven she thinks highly of him, being a local who could help locate Rita.
Age: 19
Element: Metal
Weapons: Swords and Bows

Karen Liselotte:
Karen is one of Sven's best friends from highschool, who always acted as the voice of reason between the three. Karen shares lots of concern for Sven, but balances it out with tough love so he's not being babied. Sven helped her with some money troubles when they first met, so she feels not only grateful, but like she owes him. Karen harbors a secret that she's learned to keep to herself that deals with what was funded years ago; if it were found out, she may have to fear for her own safety.
Age: 22
Element: Fire
Weapons: Gauntlets and Axes

Anna Clark:
Being the older sister between Chloe and herself, Anna is the type to come off as way over-protective. Chloe's kindness being mistaken for naivety; Anna has her hands full. Being rough around the edges, she is also easy to anger, but most of the time the responses from her anger turns out to be Anna's sense of humor. The only person she admires is her other sister Rita, whom she's set out in search for. She automatically assumes Sven is a perv in the beginning.
Age: 22
Element: Air
Weapons: Fans and Spears

Vahn Conner:
As a hired mercenary, Vahn has a job to do in the city when he is meeting Sven. Vahn himself acts older than his actual age, calling those younger than him kids; even if the age difference is only by a few months. He accepts any job, but the real job he accepts is one he deems his own. In other words; he could be accepting one job, but planning on carrying out a totally different one that he's deemed justified.
Age: 25
Element: Water
Weapons: Handguns and Rifles
