Finding Color in the Ashes [Alpha v0.8] [MooncatcherStudios]
Overview:
Finding Color in the Ashes is a fantasy dating sim where you rebuild an inn and hang out with a witch named Lucy.
It’s a mostly cozy management game where you slowly rebuild a ruined inn, choosing how you spend you time. The day is divided up into mornings, afternoons, evenings, nights – and weekends have their own events as well.
You also need to keep the surrounding area clear of monsters, equipping yourself with weapons and spells and engaging in turn based dice-combat. There are a variety of weapons, armors, and spells to buy, learn, and upgrade.

You earn experience points by talking with Lucy, the guests at your inn, crafting potions, fighting monsters, etc. Spend experience on abilities to improve your combat effectiveness, learn new spells, or make changes to the inn.
The Game takes place over a year, and starts in the summer. Each season is about 90 days long, and has its own gameplay associated with it.
