Vospi - Who Cares (Charlatan 3 One Synth Challenge)

Hey, quit your drum improv! I'm trying to play SWORD QUEST IV! I've been level grinding for 30 hours and I still can't get past the first dungeon!

This uses about 60 instances of CHARLATAN3. This started as a gag idea mostly for myself, but ended up being far more involved than anticipated. It takes a lot of inspiration from classic Famicom RPG's.

My drummer roommate won't stop practicing while I'm trying to enjoy a game! (#OSC 182)
