1. Description
========================

The King of Dread, that is what they knew you as. High and mighty in castle Bloodburg as you ruled the realms just and fair. 
However, not all inhabitants of the lands agreed with your reign. One night, the captain of the Wolf Knights, Rorick, 
enacted his plan to overthrow you. He succeeded in destroying your body and though that has perished forever, your spirit 
still lives on. With a plan for revenge you have fled into into the wastelands in search for a new vessel to house your soul. 

Dread the Rabbit is a turn based roguelike game with randomly generated maps and permanent death. Journey across seven environments 
to reclaim your throne. Unlock long forgotten magic stored in the relics of Ancients. Earn boons from the gods and 
empower yourself at their altars.

Getting Started:
- Eliminate all enemies on a map to earn a boon.
- Trade boons at Altars to power up. 
- Keep an eye on your weapons durability and plan your moves accordingly.
- Weapons break when their durability reaches 0
- At times it might be wise to avoid the fight and flee instead.

5. Troubleshooting
========================
► My keyboard input is not working.
This is a common issue with rpg maker games and windows 10. It can be fixed by downloading Cherrys keyboard reset
tool at: http://share.cherrytree.at/showfile-2704/kbdreset.exe and running it before starting the game.

► I get a "Windows protected your PC" when I tried to run Grimps.exe.
Windows Defender Smartscreen blocks programs from unknown publishers that have been downloaded from the web. This being
from an unknown publisher it will be blocked. But you can tell smartscreen to run it anyway by pressing "More Info" 
and then "Run anyway" to start the launcher.
Alternatively you can start the game by running "RPG_RT.exe" from the data folder.

► DTR.exe doesn’t start.
The game launcher requires Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 to run. If it's not installed Windows 7 and above should 
prompt you to install it when you run the exe. You can also download it manually at:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=21
Alternatively you can start the game by running "RPG_RT.exe" from the data folder.

► My problem isn't listed here!
