Hello and good afternoon from Belgium! I hope you had a great Fall so far and I hope that you don't hate me too much for making you wait this long to get the public release of Episode 01. But the Patreon juice and Ko-Fi must flow! And wow, the support ever since we made the announcement that JPDE1 - Sonata of Fire will go on hiatus without sufficient funding was amazing! Still haven't reached the necessary amount but it was still a huge increase which took a lot of pressure off me financially. Especially since I got married on the 25th of November! ^^

Anyway, EPISODE 01 of JPDE2! Why episode? Because I decided to structure this game, and the story therein, in a different way compared to JPDE1 - Sonata of Fire. That one took a lot of inspiration from Persona 4, what with being structured over school weeks over the months leading to the original RWBY Volume 3 finale, JPDE2 will be structured more like an Anime than a videogame. Which, uhm, considering that it's a videogame and it's based on a pseudo-anime show doesn't... Really explain much? ANYWAY! You'll see what I mean when you play this new release!

It features new story, some voice acting, new features and updates to the fighting system, new gameplay systems and a little something called 98 Mode... What does it do? Try it. ;D Join the Spoilers Discussion in the Community Discord and see you in the next publicly available episode in 2024!
