God's Disdain
A downloadable game for Windows and Linux
God's Disdain is a 2D, non-linear JRPG with a vast, rich world full of robust NPCs, unique side quests, and themed dungeons.
~STORY~
The four nations of Hajimari have been struck with a plague that has put the entire island in peril. All plant life has slowly started to die away, causing conflict between the Grizz, Faerials, Komurans, and Haji. Many people have lost their lives not only to the plague, but wars between the nations as well. The islanders tried praying to the gods they worship, but received no answer. Many have given up, and many say the gods are dead.
All seemed hopeless, but sometimes hope can come from the most unsuspecting of spirits.
Tamiko and her brother Kenshin reside in the village of Komura on the southwest side of Hajimari. They've witnessed their family and friends die from the plague and other islanders which has compelled them to find the source of the plague and destroy it. They will meet friends and enemies alike on their journey, including the highly intelligent Locke, the child prodigy thief Avadel, the banished maniac Drago, and the powerful grandma Zeniba.

Hey! I've been playing for an hour and am a little stuck. I was wondering if you could give any tips?
I completed the first dungeon and now I don't really know what to do. I got the riddle that is clearly pointing me to some sort of volcano town, but all I can access from where I am is 5 generic towns and a snowy area. Even though I fought every enemy in the dungeon and went up 11 levels, the monsters in the snowy area destroy me in one or two hits, so I can only assume that's the wrong way. The enemies everywhere else are really weak though and going down in a single round. I think I've explored all the towns. Am I missing something? I paid the fortune teller for advice and she just repeated the exact same riddle I already knew.
There is an NPC in Komura named Takao who is in the Training Dojo, and he'll explain some of the game's mechanics to you. I'd recommend talking to him! He'll let you know that you can get a boat in Kowan Town :) Ella in Komura also gives you similar advice :)
Thank you for playing the game!
