About the Game

The night of fire stealing is a retro wind JRPG game made by RPGmaker MV. The game is set in China during 1920. You play as Zhou Shuren, who adventures in Shanghai with two girl administrators, Friedrich and Karl, while exploring an unknown world full of mythological and philosophical elements. But when the gods of the humans and the gods of the myths meet, what kind of spiraling paradox will be made?

"The night of fire stealing" is the first game I made. I tried to fuse my interest in myth and philosophy while building a world of paradoxes.
Because it's my first time making one, all the work for the game is completed by me. There are some shortcomings with it, such as possible unknown bugs.
The game strategy is attached to the game directory if needed. The game is also about 8-10 hours.
Plus, this is an all ages game!
