LcdDem is a game made by Koronba realesed in January, 26 2010 as an open-source freeware.

In April 2013, Koronba posted a bizarre message on the official site asking fans to forget about LcdDem and to remove any content related to it. They asked not to share it or even speak of it. It is not known why they chose to do this. It has been speculated that the game reminds them of something they would like to forget.

Oniro is a port I did, which is based on the Ver.0.030 build (Translated).
It runs on, the official steam release of, the RPG MAKER 2003 Engine, (Version 1.12a).

It works on newer machines, (With windows 7 and above), with some issues.
(Certain events, that utilize files with unicode characters, will crash the game.)

Currently you can explore all worlds from the legacy game without any issues. Also the game might crash when picking up "effects" or "orbs".

Update: I added the legacy release, bundled with a modified EasyRPG player, to make it launch and play. You might want to play that instead, (as it works as intended), until the full release of LcdDem Oniro. There is also a browser version that you can play above.
