Story:46 Okunen Monogatari: The Shinka Ron (fan translated as E.V.O.: The Theory of Evolution) is an RPG, about one step more primitive than the Dragon Quest games published by the same company.

Once you’ve pushed a stat to its uppermost limit, your character evolves into a completely different creature with different abilities in battle.

I saw a long video reviewing the game years ago, and ever since, I've wanted another game that uses evolution as a core concept. I would like to preserve it as part of GoG so that more folks could be inspired by evolution as a gameplay mechanic.
