About (taken from the website (http://www.starlessumbra.com/index.php))
In Starless Umbra (formerly Dragon Heart), you play as Andoru, a young man, and his best friend Clydan in their merciless quest to find their way home. The two become deeply involved in the drama and affairs of a land completely unknown to them, with every day bringing them both new friends and impervious challenges. What starts as a simple journey into the unknown evolves into a dynamic, emotionally-driven game, full of immersive character development, challenging puzzles, and a one-of-a-kind adventure.
Notable Features
>Dynamic Running System - Running consumes stamina. Run more to obtain more stamina, participate in races, and win some neat prizes.
>Cooking System - Purchase foods to make and sell better, more complicated foods as you learn recipes and gather ingredients. Cooking great things requires a lot of practice, money, and devotion to learn and make bigger and better things.
>Two Skill Learning Archetypes - In Starless Umbra you can learn skills by equipping "Essence" and fighting monsters or adhering "Dysona Gems" to your body. Whichever path you choose, the combinations of skills and attacks are numerous!
>Rage System - Accumulate enough damage in-battle and your characters will gain new abilities, statistics, and powers.
>Customizable Character Growth - With a variety of skills, items, weapons, and armor, you can create your own character class or add bonuses to the presupposed ones.
>Custom Artwork and Music - Amazing art from keifurisu and Original music by eternal_renegade created for Starless Umbra.
...And Many More!

I've been browsing thru many RPG Maker 2k3 games which have been created , and so far yours has impressed me the most.

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed DHM's game. I was hooked from the beginning with the professionalism and prettyness and remained hooked until the ending of chapter 2. Dragon Heart is a game that not enough people are catching wind of, and it's a real shame because a good game like this shouldn't go unnoticed.
