Hey, this is the writer for the last rpgmaker game, Detective Case Files, so this is my actual first game that I made using the engine. Hope you have fun playing it!

Not really much else to say, I just used this game as a way to become familiar with RpgMaker, so everything is all default, no plugins, and all that jazz. 

Ever wondered what happens to all the first rpgmaker projects made from default assets once they're no longer wanted? What if they don't get deleted? What if they go somewhere else instead? Join our Hero as he ventures through the land of Tutorial, figuring out what exactly happened to his world and what is going on with the one that he is currently in.
Will he ever find his way back home before he becomes Mismatched? Will he ever clear the Tutorial and make it to the next world? The answer to these questions and more are coming soon to the game! Play to find out, once I eventually finish this thing!
-Includes at least a couple of hours of content, I think. I don't know, I've played the thing too much to get an accurate count anymore.
-Has some jokes that might hit or miss.
-Made with all default assets and no plug ins used, as if that's a feature to be touted.
-There's a guy that screams all the time. And he can't stop himself. It's very sad.
-You can punch a pot and watch a tree go through their entire life cycle in the span of a few sentences.

Let me know if you see any bugs or broken events, because I'm sure I missed stuff.

Interesting concept, I appreciate the lack of a white page. Since seeing them over and over again kills my eyes when I'm reading at night. Either way the game seems like a good way to make RTP interesting compared to just making one of a million other games. I would suggest for your next project focusing as well on map design and eventing, since I know firsthand it can be really easy to build bad habits early.

A good plugin to include once you're ready are 8 Directional Movement, any of them work there are tons out there, just to make the gameplay smoother, not many RMMZ devs do this and it ends up making the games feel janky compared to modern games. Especially given there's no setup needed.

Outside of that, Royalty free music is a godsend. Try using sites like [DOVA SYNDROME, M-Art, Musmus by Watson, Maou Damashii, and FreeMusicArchive.

You can also get access to free custom graphics via artists like Starbird and their free tilesets.

I'd also advise against using Visustella until you're a little more used to the engine too since the setup is a bit complicated.

Overall, as a learning project? It was a great time! I look forward to seeing your games climb above me in the ratings!

Thanks for the feedback, I'll definitely look into them once I get the time. Glad you enjoyed it!
