Weird random bug with the game, it shows the title screen options once you start a new game. Got it fixed and uploading a patch now! You might have to restart your Steam client in order to get the update. Sorry about that!

It's March 14th, and you know what that means! God's Disdain is OUT NOW!! Huzzah! If you like the old-school nature of SNES RPGs like Dragon Quest as well as the worlds of games like The Elder Scrolls, this is the game for you!

God's Disdain is a non-linear, turn-based JRPG about a world stricken by a mysterious plague. As Tamiko, alongside her brother Kenshin and other friends you find along the way, you must find a way to stop the plague for good and either save Hajimari or damn it. There are tons of side quests, dungeons, and unique locations to check out as well as plenty of gear and magic! The world is totally open for you to explore... what will you find?

Many people have contributed to this game over the course of the last near-decade, and we would all appreciate you trying it out! God's Disdain is free to play with an optional Supporter Pack if you like the game. There is no DRM and all the game files are completely accessible if you would like to mess around with it! Enjoy :)

-Added Tamiko's sprite to an ending where it was missing.
-Fixed an issue with the endings. If you have not yet achieved an ending, this will not affect you.

If you have achieved an ending, open up the "plugins.js" file and find the line that says "name":"DebugMode","status":false and change false to true. Then, launch the game and load your save file. Press F9 and set the variable 55: ENDING FLAG to 0. Save your game. This will allow you to get other endings.

Huzzah! God's Disdain has gone gold! Thank you everyone for your support. We will be continuing testing throughout the release next week to catch any bugs we can, but this is the official first version of the game!
