World-Eater RPG
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux
GAMEPLAY:
Enemies get generated randomly (according to a difficulty-class) and You take turns killing each other—fun! Button prompts are labeled in menus and save files (just txts) get made automatically in the main directory. On Your turn, Your options are melee attacks with one of two weapons, using a spell/skill, or using items, with a focus on different damage-types and specific resistances/weakness the enemies have. This battle-system is largely inspired by the likes of SMT games.
GUIDE:
- HP: Hit points—You lose if this reaches 0
- MP: Mana points—used for casting spells
- EP: Energy points—used for a variety of skills, and some items
- STR: Strength—physical attacks
- MAG: Magic—both magic attacks and defence
- INT: Intelligence—level-ups (contribute to stat points and increasing max
- HP/MP/EP)
- SPD: Speed—dodging attacks, and landing Your own
- DEX: Dexterity—landing Your attacks, as well as some physical defence
- VIT: Vitality—main defence, reducing incoming damage
- CON: Constitution—recovering from status effects, as well as some physical defence
- LCK: Luck—basically any time the game rolls anything randomly, luck impacts it (crit chance, random damage variance, status effects, etc.)
There are 3 physical and 7 magic damage types—every enemy (and the player) has a certain multiplier (their 'affinity' to that type) for each of these. All these are affected by the equipment You are (or are not) wearing.

Install instructions
If You are downloading the executable version, it should unzip to a "World-Eater RPG" directory that contains an exec file. You should be able to click and run this on Mac/Linux and Windows platforms respectively.
(This version doesn't have as nice of a save/load system, because the executable limits which files it has access to.)
