Project Compass Demo
A downloadable game for Windows
Woe betide men who no longer reach out
with the hands that they have been given.
Yona, a soldier in the Allied Kingdoms army, is fresh out of a military operation and is looking to reconnect with both himself and the people he has left behind. However, an unexpected encounter with a stranger thrusts his life onto new rails.
Project Compass Demo is a plot- and character-driven adventure in the style of traditional turn-based Japanese role-playing games. Much care has gone into the storytelling and also into the combat and the hand-crafted boss battles with the aim of providing the player with an all-around engaging experience.
The demo will take you through one chapter of Project Compass, and the main scenario will take a couple of hours to complete. There's also a healthy amount of additional content in the demo including a few secrets and optional, challenging boss fights for those who want to invest more time in the demo.
Enjoy, and do give feedback! ;)

Additional info:
- The game runs on Windows.
- The average run time of the main story is around 3 hours. Expect around 6 hours of content if you go for 100% completion.
- Your antivirus will likely scan the game file the first time you open it, but the file is safe.
- When you extract the game folder from the .rar or .zip file, keep the folder titled 'www' in the same location as the game file in order for the save function to work in the game.
- Parts of the game contain references to and depict the use of alcohol, and therefore the game may not be suitable for young children. Use your discretion here.

Install instructions
1) Download either the .rar file or the .zip file. They're the same game.
2) EXTRACT the contents of the .rar or the .zip file to a location of your choosing. If you just open the game file inside the .rar file or the .zip file, the save function won't work so you won't be able to save your game progress and the game becomes the ultimate permadeath experience.
3) When you extract the game folder "Project Compass Demo" from either file, keep the folder titled "www" in the same location as the game file "Project Compass Demo.exe" in order for the save function to work in the game. The folder "www" also needs to contain in it a folder titled "save". If you forgot to extract these folders in the first place, you can also manually create them in the same location the game file is in after the fact.
