Hello everyone!
I've been working on this game for a couple of months now and finally I can give you a little taste of it with the release of the first Steam Demo!
This only covers the Prologue for the game but I'm already planning on releasing the full Chapter 1 for Free as a longer Demo at a later date!
I hope you enjoy the game and please go crazy with screenshots and videos or posts about it, also feel free to drop by the discord server to stay in touch closely with the development!

So a little of the background for KOTOMASHO...
Kotomasho is an Adventure game with RPG elements. The story follows Genji, a 21 year old NEET (acronym for Not in Education, Employment, or Training) Japanese guy who was to scared of finding a job after graduating so he had to spend the whole day playing in virtual reality, specifically a VR game where you can meet up with people from all over the world to hang out and explore thousands of different user submitted worlds while wearing user submitted 3D avatars. One day Genji receives a crystal medal-looking good luck charm from his sister and while logging into the VR world is transported into the realm of Dreams transformed into a magical girl!
The gameplay was mainly inspired by the Gameboy Color Zelda games Link's Awakening and Oracle of Ages/Seasons but I wanted to add a leveling system to make it a little more RPG like Zelda II and instead of just using one main weapon I wanted to make it a weapon that changes all the time like in the Metal Slug series or Blaster Master. Finally, the concept of the game was born from my love of Mahou Shoujo and slice of life anime (Card Captor Sakura is one of my favorite anime of all time) and anime with ridiculously long and funny titles and how they reduce it to just a simple short word (for example, Konosuba, Oreimo, etc).
Anyways, Thanks for reading all my rambling and playing the game! Don't forget to spread the word, Wishlist if it was to your liking and hopefully I'll see you on discord or any other social media.
See you on the next one! 🌟
