Introduction

Hello people! Long story short: this is a crossover project between PokémonMade in Abyss, and Etrian Odyssey. It’s a sort of dungeon-crawler story-driven, but you don’t need to know anything about Etrian Odyssey or Made in Abyss to fully enjoy this game!

Synopsis

On the island of Talrega lies the entrance to the Yggdrasil labyrinth, a gigantic desert carved from the roots of the tree of life over millennia; filled with treasures and other valuable items, it attracted explorers from everywhere. 

What are you looking for? Fame? Money? Or do you just want to test your coaching skills by tackling the maze? Is there something deep down?

In this game, you’ll play as Nyx, a young adventurer who wants to challenge the labyrinth.

But as soon as she starts descending, something goes wrong…

    How does it work? It’s pretty simple, lemme explain:
    • If you use this candy RIGHT BEFORE a Captain battle, your party level will be set to the current Level Cap-1 (in case you want to evolve your Pokémon via level-up). Let’s say you’re about to fight the first Captain (Level Cap = 18); your party will be set to Level 17;
    • If you use this candy BEFORE REACHING the Captain, your party level will be set to the previous Level Cap.
