About
Experience a retro RPG as a princess who can only attack. Defeat enemies by targeting the game window and console itself! Before long, you’ll awaken to face a monster in the real world. Enjoy a multi-layered metafiction experience built on a classic RPG foundation.
An Attack Only Adventure!
The main character Princess can only attack, but she’s not limited to just hitting enemies! Strike allies, interface elements…and even the console itself?!
Loyal, if Strange, Comrades!
On your journey, you’ll be joined by party members like the ultra pious Priest and the sly Mage. These eccentric allies like to act on their own, but use your attacks well and you’ll guide them to victory!
A Ghastly Demon Army!
Terrifying monsters stand in your way, but even the worst fiends have their weaknesses! Never stop attacking, even when all hope is lost!
