"My name is Lena Aozora. I'm an adventurer."

Lena receives guidance from a mysterious girl in white that appeared before her one day...but the promise of an exciting new adventure is too much for her to question. What secrets will she discover in the depths of this Ancient Abyss?
- 1-on-1 RPG combat: Use whatever it takes to survive, but be mindful of your limited items!

- A quick, simple dungeon-crawl: 30-60 minutes of game time spread across 50 different maps and several battles!

The is exactly the kind of RPG game I like. A solo female character adventure, very concise gameplay with only a few abilities but requiring strategy, and a story that's short but interesting. Looking forward to more!
This was a lovely little bite-sized RPG adventure, and the way it uses finite battles and items with no XP gains makes for a careful and considered adventure in which your options are limited, making every move count all the more. The protagonist, world, and setting all exude this sense of cool that stands out and give the proceedings a great deal of energy and charm. Wonderful game! Looking forward to the further output of Celestia Studio =)
Very fun short-form RPG with a cute adventurer girl and a very good final boss fight at the end. I got cocky and lost four times, even with all of my carefully-saved resources! It has some teeth! Excited for other little games to come.
I am seriously impressed!
Though short enough to be completed in one sitting, a lot of careful design choices - the deliberate pacing, the fair but limited resources, the intriguing maps - all helped make it feel like it was still a very complete adventure.
The main character was fun to play as and though I must admit I do wish we got to see the broader world that only got hinted at, that just means I'm dying for more. Thanks for sharing your work!
The climax gave me goosebumps. The thoughtful use of RPG elements and maze design were very enjoyable. I look forward to Lena's future adventures.
A really great little short form RPG with some meaty fights and fun exploration and writing. More of this type of energy!
Super-cute little adventure with some very tricky and clever fights and gorgeous maps to explore! Love the lead character and all the hints at a broader world, definitely interested in more stuff like this in the future!
