Welcome to the world of Phantasy Series Reference Opus (PSRO), a game hopefully with the feel of an early 90's RPG. Guide Zemi as she progresses through life, and determine how she handles its vicissitudes.

Features:

  • Unleash powerful combo attacks!

  • Explore!

  • Party!

  • Squirrel(s)!

  • Squirrel minigame!

  • More references than you can count! (well, more than I can count)

  • Exploit "glitches"!

Future plans:

  • Implement new mini games/subsystems with every chapter. Fishing, "monster" breeding, etc.

  • Maybe get custom sound effects (right now they all come from .
