SUMMARY
In the peaceful mage town, Habon, every kind of mage you can imagine lived there, carefreely.
Everything was in serenity for them, but not for the one kind of mage who can do wonders.
A unique mage that can shape the future and can change the tides of fate, called Time Mage.
If any mage can change the tides of fate by altering history, that alone makes them a threat.
It's against the world's flow and must be stopped. Time mages are no different than criminals to one person known as the Mage Slayer. One way or another, all Time Mages are going to commit that crime, someday. Are you going to resist your fate or be prey for that slayer?
Only time will tell.
Prepare to get lost, save the people you care about, meet the most opposite party members, explore the new worlds, fight against the most fearsome creatures and travel in time!
Set your goal and change everything you want.
Be good, bad, neutral or be the great housekeeper!
It's your choice. the world spins around you.
But never forget, you are the Hourglass that can be Shattered.

I've been watching this game since its development and it really took my interest. This is what I call a well tailored RPG Maker game. The difficulty is just right, you can be OP but it'll take time. If you don't want to spend so much time on grinding, you should tactically learn all the classes each character can or can't do and which skill to exploit. You can also change the difficulty of the game anytime you wish and, of course, if you choose the harder one you'll be rewarded with more gold and higher drop rates. The game is quite simple yet it has entertaining features like expanding your home and fishing. Some of the elements like crops and gold coins (exclusive from the in game currency) are something that can be harvested within a certain amount of in-game time. So, if you want to have a deluxe life, you should pay attention to these little details. I like the way how I have to go back home to harvest some stuffs while exploring the dungeon back and forth. The classes are well...
With over 60 hours of playtime this rpg is fantastic, and a dev that not only responds quickly but does updates immediately to make the game better as he listens to players feedback. The quick battles, the areas to explore, the quests, the challenge, all the characters in the party with useful skills, the huge amount of creatures and bosses, so many things to do and find, it never ends. The use of scrolls to teleport where you have have already been and ships and boats to aid in travel adds fun and speed to the vast world to explore. Searching everywhere will yield important items that are used to get better weapons/armor/items. There are also interesting puzzles to solve and rewards for finding many secret locations. An arena to get better equipment and a house you buy to build up with property that also adds goodies. This game has it all,. Highly recommended to all rpgers!
One of the best RPG game I have ever played, and it currently sits on the 2nd rank of my personal top 10 RPG games list. I spent over 25 hours in-game (but 17 hours in the record), and this is my review : Graphic (8/10). The graphic is ok. Nothing very groundbreaking, but it really does the job. Characters (10/10). The character design and story is very great, they have a different personality, capability, nice backstory, great design, but most importantly: Juliet is very pretty. I'd like her, without her this game becomes pathetic. Story (9.9/10). For the story, the story is quite unique. You play as a Time Mage, and this game is 80% about time travelling, a parallel universe which is very interesting. However the ending is a bit weak, but it's okay. Gameplay (10/10). Idk how to write this review lol. In a short word: very fun and quite challenging. Worth to play. Overall score: 9.999999/10. This game is worth to buy and play :) Sorry if my English is bad Edit: I forgot about ...
This game is great! Rich in content, it gave me much more value for the price - than many similar games. Surpisingly complex and unique dungeons, many tasks to complete, interesting leveling system. I actually wanted to achieve various goals and make new discoveries. Another plus is the difficulty adjustment and the diversity of equipments. Also, the support is quick and responsive. The only thing thank would make this game even better - is an in game journal - to keep track of those interesting sidequests and places with unresolved tasks. My time was close to 180 HOURS! I'll be definitely waiting for new games from this developer! Thank You!
the bunny is very helpful *sniff*
I`ve been playing this game since late 2014.I have played through all paths and grew quite fond of the Karma system! It`s on my top 3 RPG Games of all times! I definitely love Neutral path and the way my choices play out in the end. PS: Zulwhern is a creep and Juliet just predictable, but Duran and Mio are my go to. This was the first game that really made me see my choices being important. Being able to choose my own path and handle consequences, both story wise and mechanically wise, were a gamechanger for me. Graphics: Great for the system. Honestly, I`m stunned on how Sawworm was able to make so much with it. Story: UNBELIEVABLE. The game runs on time travelling and who doesn`t love that? Music: I like it. Gameplay: Buy this and play it. You won`t regret it.
I haven't played for real long yet; gameplay seems fun, graphics and music both good. The combat style (enemies in the whole screen, your characters not displayed) is a real throwback to the NES. The only thing I'd say is "wrong" with it so far is that the dialogue could really stand to be redone by a professional English writer. The story seems pretty compelling so far, but the dialogue is _very_ rough around the edges, and it does take something away from it.
I wanna quote for this review because i really enjoyed this game. "Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, sh*t on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it." you should definitely give a chance. deuces x
What a wonderful game! It`s always very hard to find a RPG game to my liking among enormous amount of generic, standard and non-interesting boring clones. But this game is not like that. There are many surprises and secret treasures to find (you have to explore everywhere), many quests and some of them are time sensitive and may change the path and the ending via good, neutral and bad karma. For now I`ve played only once and I `m going to replay this game in the future again to find another paths and achievements. There are many-many weapons, armours, accessories with interesting properties and you have a huge amount of choices for your every characters. The maximum level is 40 but you have 3 or more jobs for everyone, every 10 levels you learn a passive skill ( you have to equip it though and you can have only one passive skill at a time). When you choose a new job, characters return to level 1, but there are many items and accessoires to speed up the process. You can find 9 character...
