About the game

First of all: Blizzard is my alias, not my company name! The "company" name, if you will, is Stormtronics.

Intro

"Once long time ago, everything was Chaos
Then Chaos became order
And Chaos became life
After life is gone and order is destroyed
Chaos shall reign again and forever..."

This is how everything starts.

Background Story

Inside the legendary Tower of Memories, lies the Fire of Life....The eternal force that holds every single parallel universe together...
An old legend states that if the flame, the Fire of Life burns is to change into a color other than blue (Solar Cry) a horrible fate lies in store for the galaxy.
Two million years ago, the fire turned red... Nobody knew of this till it was almost too late. The flame changing color would have caused the destruction of all existence, had there not been two mysterious and powerful warriors. Nobody knew where they originated, nor where they were going.
But this was long ago... These two brave warriors, returned the flame to its original color. It is even said, that they were the reason for the Solar Cry... Thus all memories and records of this event were entirely wiped from existence... This is the reason, why the tower is called Tower of Memories...

Once again in the present the Solar Cry is about to occur. The consequences are sure to be fatal. However, this Solar Cry is different... The flame became green...
But because the Solar Cry is so powerful, what could surpass it's power, enough to make it happen? And more importantly...What is yet to happen, now the fire burns green? And so we go to the little planet Terra, where peace reigns... still...

This is a snipplet from the intro. Of course it is not possible to destroy every existence just by causing a Solar Cry. There is much more behind this. But the rest of the background story will be revealed during the gameplay.

The adventure begins

Jason is 21 years old and a normal young man, who just lives his life. He's going to college and bored, because it seems too easy to him.
After a little nap and a strange dream he decides to leave the library of his college and go home. He has no idea what is going to happen to him... Suddenly he finds himself in a room, that actually looks like a part of the college, but it is none! Confused about all of this he continues his way through a dark passage. Suddenly he enters a strange hi-tech laboratory. He turns around and can't find the exit anymore.
Exploring the strange laboratory he gets attacked by machines a few times until he hears a voice shouting for help. Fast he can find a person who is fighting against a strange monster. After a victorious fight he learns the name of the stranger: Endout. But the monster doesn't seem to be beaten! And so they start running for their lives. They run back into the room where Jason entered the old laboratory. Endout activates a machine and both of them jump into it. In the next moment they find themselves in on a little field surrounded with trees in the middle of the night.
They arrived near the peaceful village Reeva. After finding out about the problems in the village and finding the key to the door that leads them further to the west to another village called Lisk they encounter a man who tells them about his youth. He tells them that they should seek out the spiritual being in the forest further to the west. After finding this spirit and defeating him in a fight he asks them: "Are you ready to follow your fate and fulfill your destiny? If so, go first north, then west. Find Giada castle and find your destiny..."

Will Jason and Endout continue their journey...? Yes, they will. But... They have no idea what fate has in store for them. They have no idea that they are about to experience the adventure of their lives and find out more about themselves than they ever imagined to. They have no idea what threat lurks in the deep darkness of space...

You can find various download locations here.

Credits

The credits can be accessed from the title menu and will be displayed at the end of the game.

Everything else

If the game installer didn't install the fonts properly and even the game failed to install the fonts properly, install the fonts manually into your %SYSTEMROOT%\Fonts folder. %SYSTEMROOT% is usually C:\WINNT or C:\WINDOWS. WINNT can have problems when installing the fonts and it is generally recommended to play the game on Windows XP, but so far nobody had problems with Windows Vista / Windows 7 either. Keep in mind that the locations for savegames and screenshots differ in Windows Xp and Windows Vista / Windows 7.

That's all. N-Joy! =D
