Despertar

Story:
In the year 2020... A catastrophe occurs.

A pandemic afflicts humanity. Thousands die as a result of this virus, whose origin is unknown. The government urges the population to use masks and maintain social distancing of 6 feet away, to prevent the transmission of the disease.

The virus spreads among the masses. Nobody obeys protection and prevention guidelines. The most severe symptoms are high levels of uncontrolled libido and a clotting syndrome. Many people develop aneurysms in the brain and  unfortunately they die.

With society unraveling and the truth behind the outbreak still unknown, one question remains:

Can anything stop it… or is it already too late?

What to expect: 
The game was developed in Spanish and then translated to English, you can choose what language to use from the tittle screen or in the option menu.

Explore a top-down world where danger lurks around every corner and every decision matters.

You play as a protagonist suddenly thrown into an unfamiliar realm—far from home and closer than ever to the source of the mysterious virus. As you journey forward, you’ll encounter allies who join your cause, each helping you push deeper into the unknown.

Combat features classic side-view, turn-based battles, where strategy and preparation are key to survival. Choose your actions carefully, manage your party, and overcome increasingly dangerous enemies as you approach the truth.

World & Choices:

The world of Salashias is one of swords, magic, and ancient secrets—a land reminiscent of a medieval era, yet deeply tied to the fate of another world.

Your choices throughout the game carry weight. Decisions you make during key moments will shape your journey, influence relationships, and ultimately determine how the story ends. The game does have 3 different endings depending on your in-game choices.

Will you uncover the truth behind the virus… or become another victim of it?

Developer:
Hi, I’m a solo developer who makes games out of passion and curiosity.

I started creating games in 2022, and this is one of my first projects released for others to experience. It was developed using RPG Maker MZ, as I focus on building smaller, story-driven games while continuing to learn and improve.

This project is also a way for me to understand how players respond to my work and to shape the direction of future games I plan to create—potentially in more advanced engines like Unreal.

Thank you for giving it a try and being part of this journey.
