Humbled

Humbled is an NES game, made for Byte-Off III by kevin81 and JollyShadow.

Backstory

After saving the Herxodus kingdom from the evil Gemmyr’s attack, our hero Lyndsia mentally descends into a path of egotism. Lyndsia’s arrogance provokes the Deity of Herxodus to interfere and teach Lyndsia a lifeworthy lesson.

When Lyndsia wakes up, she finds she has been stripped off all of the heroic qualities she used to posess, scattered throughout the kingdom in eight magic artifacts. Now Lyndsia is off on a quest, looking to revive her lost powers, but most importantly, looking for herself.
