Tower of Ba-Bell [Demo]

Lucy and their friends, Gawain and Stew, go out for some Taco Bell Fourthmeal™, but instead they find themselves trapped in the Mysterious "Tower of Ba-Bell" during the Witching Hour. In order to escape and get home, they must climb the floors of the Tower and reach the top, fighting fiends and finding friends along the way!

On January 9th, 2023, at 4:17pm, I sent a message to my friend that read "Persona 3 but the tower is a taco bell"

And then, like many of my silly ideas, I spent like, another week thinking about it. But this time something different happened.

This time, I've followed through.

Since then, I've been off-and-on learning RPG Maker 2003 and making this idea somewhat real.

While I have notes and plans for what would be the full version of this, the current build is simply a demo of the first 3 floors of the "Tower of Ba-Bell". This chunk is basically just a demo, and is maybe like, 25% of the game? It's not going to be particularly large (I hope).

If you have any questions or issues or what have you, you can find me on Twitter @madlobotanist, or on cohost @lobotanist.
