Description

In a world where the healing arts are forgotten, a chance encounter changes a huntress’s life forever. The Hag in White is my first fully custom project. As I felt the creative cravings once more, I set out to play around with something that we’ve long taken for granted: Healing sources. What if the early game healer was the only healer you’d ever get? The story follows Kyra, a huntress, and mercenary hailing from Percote, a village in the theocracy of Tartaros. She hunts and fights bandits to keep herself and her brother Elias, who’s been struggling with illness, well-fed.

While out patrolling one night, she ends up saving a mysterious elderly woman in robes from the local bandit gang and soon learns that said woman, named Apate, is an infamous heretic whom the Church of Anima has been hunting down for years due to her use of forbidden healing magic, known as lifeweaving. Apate soon makes her an offer: Help her kill Dolus IV, the current hierophant, and she’ll be able to cure Elias’s illness. Kyra’s response has drastic consequences both for herself and for the people around her, but is it for the greater good?

Features

• Follow Kyra, a huntress from a small village, as she is dragged into a whirlwind of tragedy and hope in equal measures.
• Play through a campaign of over 25 maps! (Plus a wacky postgame if you feel like you want more by the end)
• Meet a large cast full of all sorts of heroes, weirdos, misfits and baddies.
• Experience an entirely revamped class tree! Due to the unique staff situation, lots of existing classes were reworked or recontextualized. A number of new classes have also been created.
• In lieu of conventional GBAFE supports, this hack has a base camp that you can visit after maps! Talk to your allies, overhear conversations between them and obtain support ranks, statboosts and other rewards.
• Listen to a fully custom soundtrack pulled from a plethora of sources! You can hear a few examples in the trailer.

Known Issues

• On rare occasions, the game may softlock at the end of a chapter. Should this happen, close the game/emulator, open it again and resume the suspended game until the game proceeds as normal.
• The unit statsheet’s “talk” display does not work properly and may be incorrect at camp. Ignore it, select Kyra and check which units have talk icons over their heads instead.
• The repair hammer’s menu display and animations are slightly glitchy. This is only a visual issue, disregard it.
• Standing on a ballista while attacking will glitch out the attack range display. This is a common and as of yet unsolved bug with SkillSys. Ignore it, as it is merely visual.
• On fixed growths mode, growth modifying skills and items cease to function. This affects the mind scroll and the personal skills of two units, who only have them for flavor and will have a worse performance due to this. Turning off fixed growths will restore the skills’ functionality.
