We talked to Molly @swordmonkey.bsky.social

We checked out Quartet, a great update for a classic style of game!

Second Next Fest video is finally ready, this playing Quartet by @somethingclassic.bsky.social! I only meant to play an hour with each demo, then I thought this demo wouldn't be more than an hour-and-a-half, so, uh... Here's a two-hour video of the whole thing :')

So how does combat actually work in Geo Mythica?

You control your lead character in real time like Zelda or Secret of Mana, but can use party member skills at any point via a menu or hotkeys! (There is no party AI, except auto-attack)

Combat can be as fast or slow-paced as you like! #jrpg
