Description from Steam STEAM

Don’t have time for story mode? Jump into Mind Games Mode: At first, I created this mode just to “mess with” some close friends and mensa members, because it’s really hard. But then I got into it, thought it turned out really cool, and ended up implementing it in the game! There are over 20 challenges!! Get ready to die, try again, die, try again, die, try again... In this mode, you can choose from several challenges, classified as PUZZLE , PUZZLE + BATTLE , and BATTLE : PUZZLE : Pure puzzles focused on thinking, acting, and solving. Inside this category there are puzzles about: • Reflex / Agility – running, dodging, reacting quickly • Logic / Thinking – finding patterns, solving logical problems PUZZLE + BATTLE : In this kind of challenge, you must solve a puzzle first and then fight a battle afterward. BATTLE : Only battles, straight to the combat. About the Game This is an RPG made to challenge your mind and push you completely out of your comfort zone. Here, everything is a test. Logic, strategy, patience, decision-making, and much more. If you're a fan of tough challenges, you're in the right place. But if you're looking for something casual… this probably isn't for you. There’s no "easy mode" here. Just determination and a whole lot of "Game Over". FIGHT HARD... RUN... RUN and FIGHT... WILL YOU BE STRONG ENOUGH? Helpful Tips: Thinking Monsters: Enemies have AI levels from 1 to 5. Smarter enemies will actually think — hitting your weakest ally, using deadly combos, and bosses with insane tactics. Some fights may feel like chess matches that take hours to win. Bestiary: Here you can catalog all the monsters in the game. Each one has unlock levels: Lv1, Lv2, Lv3, and Lv4. You’ll need to complete side quests to raise their level. The higher the level, the more info you'll unlock. Reaching Lv4 gives you a special reward! No Potions or Revives in Shops: You won’t find healing items in stores. The only way to get them is by exploring and finding them on the maps. Use them wisely! Save System: To save your progress, you’ll need to find a crystal. The first time you touch one, it saves your game and fully heals your party. But be careful it only heals once! Hidden Crystals: There are 19 crystals hidden throughout the game. You can trade them for bonuses like max HP upgrades, money, and even a super rare item: the Save Menu. Find all 19, and something REALLY cool will happen. Save Menu: This item lets you save anytime, anywhere. Use it carefully — it’s extremely rare. In tough puzzles or far from the last crystal, this could save your life. Save it for big moments! Don't Try to Beat It All at Once: Trying to finish the game in one go can be exhausting. I recommend playing one chapter at a time, enjoying the puzzles and challenges without burning out. Game Story: The Legend of Shiande tells the story of a humble blacksmith from a quiet village surrounded by deep forests. One day, strange things begin to happen — people and animals start turning into vicious monsters, destroying everything in sight. In the face of this threat, an ancient and powerful wizard chooses Shiande for an impossible mission: to save the world from an unstoppable curse. With only his courage, a hammer, and a strong will to protect what remains, Shiande sets off on a journey that may one day be told as a legend. The Legend of Shiande! (That is… if you can finish it.)
