About Despertar

Story:
In the year 2020... A catastrophe occurs.A pandemic afflicts humanity. Thousands die as a result of this virus, whose origin is unknown. The government urges the population to use masks and maintain social distancing of 6 feet away, to prevent the transmission of the disease.The virus spreads among the masses. Nobody obeys protection and prevention guidelines. The most severe symptoms are high levels of uncontrolled libido and a clotting syndrome. Many people develop aneurysms in the brain and  unfortunately they die.With society unraveling and the truth behind the outbreak still unknown, one question remains:Can anything stop it… or is it already too late?
What to expect: 
The game was developed in Spanish and then translated to English, you can choose what language to use from the tittle screen or in the option menu.
Explore a top-down world where danger lurks around every corner and every decision matters.You play as a protagonist suddenly thrown into an unfamiliar realm—far from home and closer than ever to the source of the mysterious virus. As you journey forward, you’ll encounter allies who join your cause, each helping you push deeper into the unknown.Combat features classic side-view, turn-based battles, where strategy and preparation are key to survival. Choose your actions carefully, manage your party, and overcome increasingly dangerous enemies as you approach the truth.
World & Choices:The world of Salashias is one of swords, magic, and ancient secrets—a land reminiscent of a medieval era, yet deeply tied to the fate of another world.Your choices throughout the game carry weight. Decisions you make during key moments will shape your journey, influence relationships, and ultimately determine how the story ends. The game does have 3 different endings depending on your in-game choices.Will you uncover the truth behind the virus… or become another victim of it?

Developer:
Hi, I’m a solo developer who makes games out of passion and curiosity.I started creating games in 2022, and this is one of my first projects released for others to experience. It was developed using RPG Maker MZ, as I focus on building smaller, story-driven games while continuing to learn and improve.This project is also a way for me to understand how players respond to my work and to shape the direction of future games I plan to create—potentially in more advanced engines like Unreal.Thank you for giving it a try and being part of this journey.

Known Controller issues:


- The in-game prompt displays Keyboard prompts when a controller is used to play. - When the user is playing with a controller, the mouse cursor remains on-screen causing the user to have to move the mouse cursor off-screen for a better gaming experience. - When opening the Steam Overlay, by pressing the home button on the controller, the game does not pause and continues to function while navigating the Steam Overlay menu. - When the controller is unplugged during gameplay, the game does not automatically pause.

Recommended Sep 6, 2026
I'm listing this as a recommend because what it gets right is good. In no particular order I enjoy the humor and subversion of being the summoned heroes to another world. The concept that this entire journey is just you trying to find your dog strikes a certain non serious chord while being a believable enough reason that you jumped through the portal to begin with. The options presented to your party also subvert the typical we are noble heroes thing, the fact that in order to get one characters legendary weapon you must engage in robbery for example has a certain charm. Honestly this game should get the funny tag added to it for these choices and the whole narrative really. One other praise is it appears that different character icons were selected than the standard and this is true for most of the worlds inhabitants so good on not using option 1 one everything. The parts that are not good, unfortunately are plentiful. For one lets just go ahead and get the lack of balance out of the way. Your armor may as well be paper and most of your weapons don't give a meaningful improvement to your attack scaling in general is just abysmal. It seems intentional that you would experiment wit…

Despertar es una sorpresa brutalmente buena, especialmente sabiendo que fue creado por un solo desarrollador. Se nota el cariño y la dedicación en cada detalle: desde la historia inspirada en los eventos del 2020 hasta el mundo de Salashias, que mezcla fantasía clásica con un misterio moderno que te mantiene enganchado. El juego combina exploración top‑down con combates por turnos al estilo clásico, y honestamente funciona mejor de lo que esperaba. Cada personaje tiene un rol bien definido: Monga es una máquina ofensiva, Dr. Broly es un tanque indispensable, Vendetta es pura velocidad y Mafia aporta estrategia con sus debuffs. El equipo se siente variado y divertido de usar. La historia es lo que más me atrapó. No es solo “otro RPG de RPG Maker”: aquí hay decisiones reales que afectan el rumbo del juego y llevan a finales distintos. Eso le da rejugabilidad y hace que tus elecciones importen. Además, el toque boricua y el origen del protagonista desde Bayamón le da una identidad única que no ves en otros RPGs. Para ser uno de los primeros proyectos del desarrollador, Despertar demuestra muchísimo potencial. Si te gustan los RPGs clásicos con buena narrativa, personajes memorables…
