About this game

Introduction

A fire destroyed Kelvin's home and took away his delightful childhood. Even after the disaster, his youth remained empty and uninteresting because of his tarnished family. The past has overlaid a layer of inferiority until he met his precious friends such as his pen pal Elledaz. When the final is over, it's time for him to go home.

Kelvin is a free, pixel-style RPG. You'll play as Kelvin, meet the Queen from the City of Sighs, make all kinds of new friends, experience school life, and reveal the truth of your family. Your new life is ahead, so get ready for it!

This gameplay will normally last for two hours.
