Slimestride Chronicles [Prototype]
A downloadable game for Windows

In the quiet town of Falcons Crown, you're ready to leave behind the demanding job as a gatherer for the Artisans Guild and pursue the dream of becoming a champion Slimestrider. Unfortunately, the replacement quits, leaving you juggling the guild's demands and training your slime.
To complicate matters further, your father has been missing, and the responsibility for the family's mounting bills is now yours as well. Struggling under the weight of new responsibilities, find a way to balance these duties, uncover the mystery of a father's disappearance, and train your loyal slime companion for the ICBA League. Will you rise to the challenge or be crushed under the pressure?
