Story
Though he dreams of adventures and heroics, Asher's life is one of peaceful mundanity. A trip to town for groceries quickly spirals into something far greater, as an old acquaintance ropes him into investigating a smuggling operation run by a dangerous egoist with megalomaniacal goals.
Tips & Cheats
Exploration is the name of the game. If you're ever feeling underequipped for a challenge, seek out Hymnstones to sell for new abilities, or complete sidequests for helpful Augments. The shops in Pala Bay and other towns also update with new items and Augments throughout the quest. If the quest is too difficult, feel free to contact Russ or Moosh and we can probably send you a cheat code to make the experience more enjoyable.
Credits
A full list of credits can be found in the quest, but briefly, we'd like to thank Aevin for his advice and encouragement, Evan for his contributions to the quest, Deedee and Emily for their prompt fixing of many 2.55 bugs discovered during the development process, Deedee, Ether, and Mani for initial release testing and streaming, and Demonlink, Radien, and Jupiter for their compilation of many of the graphics we used for the quest.
