An evening painted world was left by the light as the colors and miracles--[`c]and hope[`r]--went to rest their heads and sleep. There was a cold chill in the sky that matched the chill of the water. Soon, [t2]strange dots started to blip all along the blackened waters of the heavens and earth.

 Scrapped from a previously created text engine I made
 called the 'MaloBox' text engine, part of the 'MaloSuite'
 GameMaker toolset, and adapted for use in Godot Engine.
-No current plans for release, but I do hope to release it

+I made in GameMaker on GitHub, too, if you really care about

 This text engine allows for custom features, such as:
 	+ Loading custom dialog from a separate GDScript
 	+ Setting character presets which can be accessed
-	  with a special two-character marker (narrator for
-	  Polterheist! is '&:', Casper is 'C:', etc.)
