d-mons

SIX YEARS AGO, the eccentric DR. FAUST tried to open a PORTAL to ANOTHER DIMENSION. Instead, he accidentally summoned strange creatures to our world. Known as D-MONS, these little menaces have infested the city, and nobody really knows what to do about it.

TODAY, a brilliant inventor (also known as MOM) has moved to town to join DR. FAUST'S team. Her newest invention may be the final piece of the puzzle to understanding D-MONs.

You're just a KID, and you're looking forward to the release of a NEW GAME.

Welcome to GB CITY.

FEATURES:

• A complete miniature RPG with multiple endings: Complete your research on the D-MONs by exploring GB City.  Basic completion could take at least 2 or more hours! And who knows what you may have to complete to achieve to the TRUE ENDING.
• Multiple Game Modes: Do you simply want an ADVENTURE, or are you looking for a CHALLENGE? If the standard gameplay of Project: D-MONs isn't risky enough for you, try the permadeath run.
• A complete D-MON index to fill out: With 12 D-MON species and 5 color variations, that's a minimum of 60 creatures to collect in GB CITY. And that's not even counting maxing out stats or finding all the abilities.
• A Party system: Manage up to 4 D-MONs at a time, and swap them on the fly.
• A PC STORAGE System: Party full? Catching too many D-MONs? Store 'em on Marlowe's Server and access them later from any PC.
• A simple but tricky battle system: Rocks-Paper-Scissors with a twist! D-MONS also have unique abilities, which could unexpectedly turn the tide.
• Character Customization: Choose from 3 different character styles, and you can change your style to suit your mood during the game too! Plus, your player character is represented with unique 4 frame animations!
• D-MON Fusion: Combine your creatures to try and form more powerful versions or different variations.
• MYSTERY: Discover the secret of how D-MONs are multiplying in GB City, and you could find yourself having an interesting eggsperience.
• Charming Retro art: GB CITY is rendered in a minimalist, "1 bit" style, but battles, menus and more feature plenty of animation.
