Fifteen years ago marked the beginning of the end.
A country at the verge of war with another postponed its plans thanks to the arrival of a strange young man on a canoe, here to tell them that he would give it all up for the sake of the person he cares for. And then, he realized that it was too late to back out. At that time, a young woman discovered a life-draining, world-ending artifact. She accepted no credit for her discovery. Two years later, the first revolution began. Many died. A man named Dave Shrubalt was killed.

A woman told her son, they were to destroy a monster who killed innocent people in cold blood just to fulfill his own desires. It has been ingrained within his mind since he was five. It was trapping, traumatizing, and utterly restrictive. She was a mother who sacrificed her love for her own son just for revenge. He never would have been able to regain the life he could have lived. And for that very purpose, he sought the Cole’s Gate – that cold, cruel artifact which would drain the world of all life. And that is where one story ends and another begins. He will meet that person, and there will be no turning back.

Actually, there was never any turning back in the first place.

Updated version 2.01, fixing a major bug.

I played the demo and this is what I got when I tried to open the menu using Esc button. And then it shuts down the program by itself. I have no problem with Esc button when in battles though.

fff i remember playing this so long ago. a very early wip version i believe. i did really enjoy it though.
the new one is downloading at the moment -excited-

Edited the above link to patch 2.02-d. If there are any more missing file problems, please do alert me asap. Thanks!

I know I haven't updated on Cole's Gate lately - but don't worry, it's not dead. Just really slow, due to inherent busy-ness here and RPGXP being a generally more troublesome nut than Ren'py, with ten times the number of bugs per programming. Perhaps in the future, if the full Cole's Gate gets enough recognition, I might want to make a visual novel remake .

First up - Camelat Enya, a young woman who's appeared several times, faceless, in the demo - as Ray's childhood sisterly figure, perhaps?



Second up - Lord Miho of Shalorn, a man from the country of Palendine, from across the seas. Yes, despite appearing like a side-quest character in the demo, he's actually important.
