Just as Alcy's about to graduate, she's attacked by an unknown assailant! Knocked unconscious, she wakes up to find that she's somehow ended up on the island of Anatol. There, Alcy learns that there's something a bit unusual about her Cell, a magical device tied to its user's life... And anyone trying to leave Anatol must undergo a thorough Cell examination!<br />
<br />
If Alcy wants to get off the island, she must find a way around the Cell inspectors, but this island is full of strange and dangerous monsters. She'll have to get help from the locals, gather materials, and gain the strength she needs... And discover just who her attacker was and why she's so unique<br />

			<description><![CDATA[<span style="font-size: large;" class="mycode_size"><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Game engines explained (for players)</span></span><br />
The engine prefix on a thread tells you a lot about how a game will run and what you can do with it.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Ren'Py</span> — visual novels<ul class="mycode_list"><li>Runs on almost anything; small downloads.<br />
</li>
<li>Easy to mod and translate; many games ship Android builds.<br />
</li>
<li>Saves usually carry over between versions.<br />
</li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">RPG Maker (XP / VX Ace / MV / MZ)</span> — top-down RPGs, often sandbox or exploration<ul class="mycode_list"><li>Lightweight; MV and MZ run on JoiPlay for Android.<br />
</li>
<li>Lots of plugins and cheat menus available.<br />
</li>
<li>Can feel grindy — check the tags.<br />
</li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Unity</span> — 3D games, simulators, animated scenes<ul class="mycode_list"><li>Needs a decent graphics card for 3D titles; bigger downloads.<br />
</li>
<li>Mods are possible (often via BepInEx) but harder than Ren'Py.<br />
</li>
<li>Android only if the developer builds for it.<br />
</li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">HTML / Twine</span> — text-heavy or browser games<ul class="mycode_list"><li>Plays in any browser, including phones.<br />
</li>
<li>Saves live in browser storage — export them.<br />
</li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">Unreal Engine</span> — high-end 3D<ul class="mycode_list"><li>Best visuals, biggest downloads and hardware needs.<br />
</li>
<li>Rarely moddable.<br />
</li>
</ul>
<br />
