Mortal Mythos: Island of Fairies [DEMO]

Long ago, a deity came to the people of the world in their most desperate hour, and granted them Taika, a divine energy. As generations mastered this newfound energy, they discovered many ways through which Taika could grace all life with advancements in a variety of fields, grant longer lives, and push one and all to pursue masterful self-expression...

...

Only a few weeks have passed since the sudden appearance of the phantasm wisps - strange, colorful beings of light, made of the divine energy Taika.

Their source, determined to be somewhere on the Island of Fairies, has started leaking a wild, chaotic Taika. The Fairy Kingdom tried their best to contain the Taika, but ultimately failed. Now, the chaotic Taika takes form in phantasm wisps, and terrorizes those unlucky enough to stumble upon them.

House Vermillion is the head of a kingdom of Hybrids (fusion of man and fairy) and the Fairy Kingdom's closest ally. Now, with the Fairy Kingdom on lockdown, even they find themselves in the dark. King August Vermillion grows uneasy regarding the state of affairs within the Fairy Kingdom, and his son, Nieo, takes notice.

As the eldest of August's children still living on the royal grounds, Prince Nieo August Vermillion, along with his two fairy retainers, Lucia Lavie and Huey Aldenne, set out on their own to the Island of Fairies, in search of the truth!

Known bugs:

- On the title and game over screens, the Ctrl key may not work when selecting your desired option. This has been remedied in the current build, but not in the downloadable demo build. In the demo build, it can be worked around by moving the cursor and re-selecting your option, or by using the letter key corresponding to your desired option (N, L, Q).

- Some systems may experience rendering/screen refresh errors while in fullscreen, in the form of a scan line. To fix, just Alt+Tab out and back in while in the game world. (So far this issue has only occurred on my machine; no other testers have run into this. It may just be an issue with my monitor, but I'm writing this up just in case.)
