Now announcing the next major Small Gray Games project: 

South of the March is an RPG featuring a hybrid of JRPG-style turn-based combat and semi-open world visual novel exploration. It's set in the same world as The Salt Keep, so while it features new characters in a new setting (not to mention a new genre of gameplay), it should be very familiar in terms of world-building and general tone. Check it out:

South of the March

It's currently planned for a free release sometime around spring 2024 on Itch.io and Steam, and will run on PC and Mac. While it will be full-featured with a self-contained narrative spanning roughly two hours of gameplay, it's also intended to act as a prototype and companion game for a larger future project, so keep an eye out for that later on!
