Hey everyone,
I wanted to share something new I’ve been working on. I just released my new game, KeyBreach.
It’s very different from my previous JRPGs. instead of turn-based combat, it’s a fast-paced typing roguelike where your keyboard is your weapon.
That said, if you enjoy:
building strong setups
breaking game systems
and challenging boss fights
you might find something to like here too!
It’s a bit experimental, but I’d really appreciate it if you check it out and let me know what you think.
Thanks again for supporting my games ❤️

Chronix's "Don't Play With Fire" note now closes as intended when you read it again.
You can save your game in Juliet's Event. (Forest part.)
Fixed the issue where Zulwhern talks even when you don't have him in Chronix.
Party fully recovers HP when defeats Leviathan's phases.
Most secondary classes are now 30% to 40% easier to level up.
Auradion Class now learns Magic Guard III at level 24... correctly. It was Magic Guard II.
