Ikode: The World of Infinity, Complete 5-10 Hour RMXP Game Options

[LostSamurai]

Introduction:
"This is the secret lake of the water deity. This is my world. I was born as the owner of this world. I do not know why I was chosen to own this world, but I am special, because my world holds a deity. I must protect this place, to prevent the water deity from ever being reached by those who wish it harm."

Storyline:
Ikode: TWOI takes place in a universe where every human being is born with their soul contained in a necklace which they wear around their neck. In Alaro, the town the main character lives in, there is a cave which reacts to the soul necklaces by creating a unique world for every soul necklace upon entering the cave.
Naturally, one wouldn't want to part with their own soul. But the main character, Atrius, begins a collection of soul necklaces when his old friend passes away and leaves his soul necklace to him. What will happen when a person enters the world of someone else's soul will soon be found out...

Characters:
Atrius: Age 30: The Main character. His soul necklace contains the water deity. Atrius is a very introverted character, and has very few friends. He spends more time in the lake shrine (his soul world) than anywhere else, and most of the rest of his time in his house.
Odaru: Age 24: The front desk keeper in Atrius's apartment building. She is in love with Atrius, but he never pays her much attention.
Lerold: Age 125 (deceased): Atrius's old friend, who passes away in the beginning of the story. His soul necklace contains a fairy who helps crops grow.
Hamemy: Age ??: The fairy who lives in Lerold's world. Not much is known about her, since only Lerold has ever met her and now he is dead.
Areniss: Age ??: The priestess in Alaro. Areniss alone knows the contents of Atrius's soul, and she acts as an advisor to Atrius.
Burlend: Age 26: Alaro's town guard. Friendly with Atrius. He is mute.
Reymi: Age 8: The Alaro shopkeeper's son. He looks up to Atrius.
Tireon: Age 40: A wandering merchant who comes to Alaro in seek of Atrius's help.

I appreciate your review, but I don't think it's very fair. I don't think a game can be accurately reviewed based solely on the introduction.

The biggest thing that stands out is your comment on how it's poorly introduced at the start, and that it has a dull beginning story. I'll keep that in mind, since obviously the first part of the game wasn't enticing enough if you gave up before you got to the real story.

I felt bored of your story in about 10 minutes of gameplay. For me, it didn't feel so enjoyable because it was as if the whole plot was explained practically straight away and the hero, atrius knew all about the cave and knecklaces which made it to plain

That's not even considered the plot. Atrius is just explaining the backstory.

I liked the music althought I feel it could have been used better if you had interesting scenes and what not

I thought I did have some interesting scenes once the "bad guys" show up...

It seems you need to do quests for people in the town you are in and return to cave every time.

This is not true at all. My storyline is far from being that generic. Just how far did you get in the game before you gave up?

Your right, maybe it isn't fair and your game shouldn't be judged fully for just the intro. But I found it a little bit boring as if I had no specific reason to continue the plot. Like I said, I only played for 2 hours so I didn't really get that far enough. From what I played, you had to return to the church to do quests for people. My review might be a bit harsh though. Even so, your game needs some improvement from what I've played so far but if I get any further and complete it in the future, like I said I will repost another review.

Also, compared to many people I'm quite lenient when it comes to reviewing peoples games so to some people you may get worse critisims.

I thought I'd just give you some feedback so you could improve it and fix a few map errors or possibly remake some of the scenes and whatever needs doing...
