Lex Talionis draws inspiration from multiple sources, though most notably My Hero Academia and Teen Titans. Thus, similarities to existing characters are deliberate and done with the intention of using their personalities as foils for the reader’s character.

Exordium is the first entry into the Lex Talionis series, with each that will eventually follow after this acting as direct sequels.

Story is really cool really enjoying it. Just noticed a couple of things while playing, during and after the exam/results names have switched over to a numerical value and that when going to speak with the individual that flirts with lynx before the combat exam it skips straight to chapter 4.

I played the game, after deciding to reconcile with my two friends the game then sent me right back to meeting the Korean guy and then the game had a game ending error.

I managed to remedy the issue. Once you reach the end of the chapter you’ll be taken to chapter 4.

I recommend saving during the cafeteria scene in chapter 4. There’s an error that avoids the loop meant to take you back to a series of choices.

I will sort it out later, given that it’s 1:45 AM where I stay.

That’s just the end of the demo I believe there isn’t a end card there at the moment.

I hadn’t seen this before, but from what I’ve read I’m definitely interested now.

I like the premise, very reminiscent of my hero academia in parts, guessing that’s intentional.

Only one minor complaint, at the start where you pick the color(which doesn’t become apparent until later) your power has, there’s nothing telling me what exactly it is I’m choosing. It just says “you snap your fingers and…”(paraphrasing), basically had to just guess what it was.

I added an end card, so you the issue will not come up again unless I forget to add it with the next update.

I’m glad to hear that.

It is intentional, as I found the premise of My Hero Academia interesting and wanted to attempt something in the same vein with a more grounded and gritty atmosphere. Though I should admit that Teen Titans and Community College Hero were also inspirations.

Thanks for pointing that out, I will see what I can do.
