Sheryl ~The Alchemist of the Island Ruins~

Altona is a town built on the outer rim of an island surrounding a massive chasm called Abyss. Abyss is home to other intelligent species, monsters, and ruins of ancient civilizations.   Residents explore Abyss to find valuable artifacts and materials for alchemy. Since Sheryl has no money, she must procure her ingredients by exploring Abyss and encountering others.   Along the way, she meets new friends and uncovers a conspiracy. She finds herself ensnared in a web of deception she must endeavor to untangle as she delves deeper.   In this mix of low-stakes slice-of-life and high-stakes drama, Sheryl must remain positive, helping make Altona a better place while she strives to erase its darkness once and for all!     Discover new recipes and synthesize fantastic items! Crafting new weapons and armor is the key to success in battle, and most quests will be cleared by creating items rather than prevailing in combat.   In Abyss, Sheryl must befriend the various species that reside on each layer to proceed further downward. By assisting them and boosting her fame, she can purchase better recipes and perform even more alchemy.   Rather than turn-based battles, Sheryl fights in top-down real-time combat, fighting with staff, bow, and magic to take down enemies! Avoid foes' biggest attacks, or else Sheryl will fall in a flash!         Explore the Darkness of Abyss Each layer contains a different biome and unique residents. It's up to you to discover what wonders and horrors await in its darkest depths!   Master Action Combat New abilities are unlocked throughout the game, which allow you to fight however you like! Become a talented mage or destroy your enemies through pure melee mastery!   Synthesize Everything Use alchemy to create over 100 items, pieces of armor, and weapons! All of these creations will help Sheryl in her quest to explore Abyss and save her atelier! This Game may contain content not appropriate for all ages or may not be appropriate for viewing at work.
