Inspiration

SOMEWHEN is a retro RPG inspired by Dark Cloud, Dark Chronicle, Chrono Trigger, and Rogue Galaxy. Enjoy dungeon diving, resource gathering, and town building mechanics. In Somewhen, you must help Idyll and company restore a fractured world with an uncertain future using a curious time-travelling train and a little something called the Conductor to rebuild entire towns. Your goal is to quite literally reshape the future by placing homes, trees, and other structures in the present. Rebuild towns using a system like Dark Cloud's while fighting for your future with a battle system reminiscent of Chrono Trigger.

Fight, fish, build, cook, and invent your way through 8 chapters and a unique dungeon stage system and the challenges that come with it.
Collect hundreds of items. Migrate special NPCs to your new towns. Invent new weapons and trinkets. Travel through time!

Take world restoration in your own hands.

The game loop is as follows:
> Enter dungeon, beat up baddies, and collect special "Geo Gear" artifacts to grab resources for rebuilding towns, keep going until you're unable to open the door to the boss chamber

> Go into Edit Mode and place down suitable homes for civilians to move into.

> Travel into the area's future via time portal and see the fruit of your labor. Grab tools made here to improve the present and perhaps find the boss chamber key here.

> Travel back to the present, unlock the boss fight, defeat the boss and uncover more plot, rinse and repeat until you're ready to tackle the final dungeon!
