Frontiers of the Fallen

Are you born a monster, or do you become one?

The ruthless King of Hearts and the Four Horsemen have set their sights on Bastion once again. Twenty years after the King's first attack, a rebuilt Bastion and its people are in danger once more.  In order to defeat the monsters beyond the walls, the people of Bastion must turn to the monster within, the one who sold them out to the King those many years ago. The Outcast, the Traitor, the Man with the Ember Eyes.

FRONTIERS OF THE FALLEN is a top-down story-driven action RPG for the Game Boy Color and a submission to GBCompo23. Download the .gb ROM file to play on real hardware or an emulator of your choice (the ROM is intended to be played using a color device and should also run on the original DMG). Alternatively, you can play in browser.
