Storyline

It is a story/lore-focused Fire Red hack for casual players, developed years ago (although I was adding content and doing fixes until recently), so don't expect many modern features. It is a lengthy one, especially if you explore everything and follow the various side quests, and it is divided into two parts, A and B. To play it, you'll need to patch two files and use save states to continue your saved game from Part A to B (instructions can be found in the readme file that accompanies the download). Story-wise, the game consists of a prologue, four chapters and a small epilogue*.* Regarding its difficulty, it's harder than the Pokémon games, but most players will not find any difficulty in finishing it.
