Shadows of the ForgottenStory"Five years ago, in the midst of battle, General Tyeg was betrayed by his own soldiers under his command." This was a popular story told by Maraux to the kids of the small village of Warlyth, when the war was over. However, this story always enraged General Tyeg's daughter, Annabel. Armed with anger and thoughts of revenge, she decides she wants to set out for the man who killed her father, Nyral.
You play as Reiner, General Tyeg's son. One who would rather stay at home and put the past behind him. However, with Annabel's wanting to leave, you must set out with her and help her find truth and peace, so that she too can finally put the past behind her.
CharactersGeneral Tyeg A general in the King's army. He was believed to have died at the hands of his own soldiers.
Reiner A easy-going young man, and older brother to Annabel.
Annabel A young lady bent on revenging the death of her father, who died at the hands of Nyral.
Maraux An old friend of General Tyeg. He practically raised Reiner and Annabel.

What makes you think he is alive? Because far as I'm concerned, he won't appear in the game again. Though, that would make for an interesting twist, I won't take the story down that road.

Although, making him alive or have some answers would answer some of the questions along down the road preventing any plot holes or inconsistencies...Not suggesting that you're going to reveal some story spoilers to us.
Somehow italicized font is never my favorite, but apparently it's acceptable as always. It's just that reading in such ornate text will hurt my eyes eventually. However, I love the fact there's an Item creation system. Building off of that would be nice. Of course, many other RPGs would have that so giving a unique flare is also good.
I don't really have any to judge considering that there's very little of the story to actually make some lasting opinion and criticism on. For example, I don't know much about these characters yet and the story isn't revealed much, so I can't make anything funny of that sort. Though it's a good start, very nice, as always I hope something enthralling will happen.
As you can see, I didn't download the demo. Aren't I a stinker? :P

This is why the english language is such fun.
As for a full version release, I don't want to rush the project, else it will turn to crap, you know? I'll keep you all updated on any major progress made.
