Oh, hey. This is Giri; I run some shops in The Shade.

Welcome to GNOMONIC, the role-playing game where your role is just to play the game. You've gotta help your funny little friend out because they really wanna leave this place. But, you're stuck communicating through them as some kind of voice in their head, so it's not like you can really do anything except help them, anyways. As a player, you can do things your friend can't, like save the game, load it - all that fun stuff. Help them out, will ya?
You better watch how far you push your power, though.

Things you can do:

• Move your friend around a battlefield to avoid enemy attacks and do some damage yourself.
  
• Negotiate with enemies to end battles without violence.
  
• Experience a character-filled story with a lot of humor.
  
• Enjoy traditionally drawn watercolor art combined with pixel art character sprites.
  
• Listen to music that combines retro and modern sounds.
  
• Become friends with most of the bosses.
  
• ...Are you really friends with them though, or are you just being nice to get something from them?
  
• Bask in my presence every time you see me.
  
• Really, just try to be nice, even if it's just for yourself.
  
• I have shops everywhere, there's no way to not see me.
  
• You're way more powerful than all of us here, so maybe help us however you can?
  
• But, I mean, who are you to take orders from a description?
