A.L.E.X. :: Rebuild Thy Paradise

ALEX : Rebuild Thy Paradise is a weird and ungainly and hopefully also fun, cool, and interesting hybrid of (anti-) traditional JRPG and Colony Sim. What happens when the four destined heroes chosen by the crystal fail to save the world from the BBEG? ALEX: Rebuild Thy Paradise is what happens!

Initially set on the familiar JRPG fantasy world of "Terra", ALEX immediately starts where most JRPGs end, with a fully leveled up and powered up party confronting their fated cosmic nemesis. Things take a dark turn for the unexpected, and when "saving the world" is no longer on the table, our surviving heroes under the guidance of Immortal Dog Genius and technocrat/master artificer TURBO need to save everyone they can, by taking them from the cataclysm-doomed world of Delamort to find a new home in the stars. 

But 256 years later when our cryogenically frozen heroes arrive on Planet Nova 2 their cargo of refugees, they discover that strange world to be not without its dangers and its challenges, as well as the mystery of the structures left behind by its missing inhabitants. The ancient human bioweapon A.L.E.X. -- Artificial Lifeform (for) Exploration & Xenocide -- genetically engineered from an ancient Light Warrior Hero from Terra's ancient past might be just what they need to turn the tide. Explore the ruins, research ancient technologies, and build a new colony to Resettle The Planet and Rebuild Thy Paradise!

A.L.E.X. RTP is a prequel/gaiden, sorta (it's set in the same universe many many years earlier) to my 2018 game When You Were Young.
