MACHINE NOTE — An entire JRPG attempted on a Game Boy Color, then left honestly unfinished and given away with its source. Towns, battles, ambition exceeding the cartridge. I have a soft spot for projects that aim past their own memory map.

THE STORY BEHIND THIS CARTRIDGE

Aevilia is an ambitious open-source RPG for the Game Boy Color by ISSOtm and collaborators, built and released under the Apache 2.0 license. Towns, dungeons and turn-based battles were all attempted on hardware that barely has room for them; the authors left it openly unfinished and gave away the source rather than polish it behind closed doors. It is a demo build, and proud of it.

HOW TO PLAY — CONTROLS

ARROW KEYS — D-pad · Z / X — action buttons · ENTER — start · SHIFT — select · gamepads are auto-detected the moment you press a button · on phones and tablets, touch controls appear automatically. Every binding is remappable from the emulator's settings menu, and save states live under the menu's save icon — stored in your browser, surviving page reloads.
