You wake up one day, not in the comfort of the bed, but on an unfamiliar hardwood floor, completely naked. You panic, scanning your surroundings, trying to determine where you are and how you got here, but you can't make sense of what you see. Everything looks so... warped and unusual.
Your frantic panicking is suddenly interrupted when a glowing light appears before you. Slowly, the glowing light coalesces into the form a human... no, an angel.
"Alex, please calm down, allow me to explain what has happened to you." speaks the angel, with a soothing voice that practically melts your fears away. Your panicking subsides as you stop and listen.
"A malevolent force has reduced your size to a mere two inches, and transported you far away from your home. But do not worry, there is a way for you to return to normal, though it won’t be easy. You will have to undergo a long and arduous quest, overcome many trials, and defeat a great evil."
"… huh? A quest? What do you mean?" You respond.
"There is a terrible and dark force that threatens the planet, and only you are in a position to stop it. You will have to do as I say, gathering certain items of great power in order to confront this evil." explains the angel.
"So... I have to gather items of great power, and confront a powerful evil... while I’m two inches tall?" You question.
"I did not say it would be easy. But I have faith in your abilities, and I will provide you with guidance. Besides, you lack any other options, unless you would prefer to remain your current size for the remainder of your days."
"… well, I guess I can try, at least. " you reluctantly agree.
" Excellent. For your first step, simply observe your surroundings."
You take stock of the world around you. Now that you recognize that you're two inches tall, the unfamiliar scenery makes sense to you. The four alien pillars are legs of a table. The mysterious circles are wheels of a desk chair. And seated at that desk chair, is a girl.
The girl has long, auburn hair, reaching down her shoulders. She's wearing a pair of loose fitting black sweatpants and a purple sweater. She's currently slumped over her desk, with her hand buried in her arms, asleep. In front of her is a computer monitor, illuminating her sleeping face.
"Right now, you're in Jennifer's apartment. Jennifer's a programmer who frequently gets caught up in large projects and forgets to do anything else, such as sleeping. Right now she's dozing off on her desk. Unfortunately, the door to Jennifer’s apartment is currently closed, and the gap underneath the door is too small for you to crawl under. Thus, your first step will be to wake Jennifer up, and persuade her to open the door for you."
"I must depart now, but I wish you the best of luck." speaks the angel as the glow fades away.
And with that, she is gone. You’re on your own now!
Hi, I know it took me a while to update this, but I had to redo a lot of the combat systems, and I was busy with school a lot.
Anyways, it's done now! Hope you enjoy the update!

You play as a boy or girl who's been given a quest by a mysterious angelic figure to defeat a great evil... while only a few inches tall! In order to progress, you will have to gain the attention of some girls, now significantly larger then you. This will usually result in getting into an encounter with them, where you have to escape or do something else, or potentially be at the girls mercy, with occasionally fatal consequences. This game features RPG like combat, as well as elements of exploration. Some problems will have multiple solutions.
Bellow is the intro to part 2 (Warning: spoilers for the game ahead)
As you step outside into the world, you see a familiar glowing light, soon taking the form the angel.
"Congratulations on escaping Jennifer intact. I was worried for you for a moment." The angel speaks.
"You... you were watching?" Your cheeks go flush with embarassment.
"Oh... Please don't worry. I understand it was not your intent to end up in that situation." she calmly explains.
"However... your journey has just begun. Now for your first task..." She says, appearing to go into deep thought for a few moments.
"Hmm... Well what I could really use is a Mana infused rock... But I doubt you will be able to find one... Ahh! I know. There is a certain Enchanted ring you could find instead."
"Mana infused rock? Enchanted ring? Are you saying magic is real?" You ask, confused.
"Well... Yes and no... It's complicated. Nonetheless. You will need to travel to a certain address to find the ring... something which... Well, you may need to seek help from others yet again."
"Can't you use your angelic powers to lift me up or even just persuade someone else to help?"
"Unfortunately, I cannot. Dark forces watch us even now. This limited form of communication is truly all that I can do. You will need to find someone else to help you."
You look around, and see you're in an apartment hallway. In the distance, you see an athletic looking girl standing around in shorts and a t-shirt, waiting outside one of the doors.
"Uhh... probably not her." Says the angel. "Sabrina can be kind of... just try to avoid her."
"I'm sorry, but I must go now. You will have to find your own way forward. Best of luck, little hero."
And with that, the light fades... the angel is gone.
Though you still have many questions, you set fourth on your journey once more.
And with that, your quest continues...
