Yay! I have a fan! Glad to see you here after the Magical Girl Game Jam! I'm looking forward to doing more with this series in the future.

Yes, the art is mostly stock RPG Maker, but I did incorporate a DLC tileset and drew the pumpkin enemy myself. There are some mods here-and-there, such as the "Mana Drain" attack having a blue tint instead of the default red. If I had started at the beginning of the jam instead of the week before the deadline, and/or had more focus on the main thrust of the game from the beginning, there would have been  a lot more custom art. Oh well, maybe next game!

The key is actually part of a secret in the game. Each room has one - you just have to look around enough to find them! If you figure it out and defeat the boss, you'll get a different ending. 😃
