The Story
From out of nowhere as you look around and all you see a crimson
sky. You stand high atop a tower looking down upon a world
consumed by flames. An old man beside you opens his mouth and
speaks: “Time has expired for this world, but the records of this
book shall create the next...”
Suddenly your eyes snap open and you jump out of bed, covered in
sweat, but not necessarily surprised. It was only a dream, but
unfortunately an all too familiar and frightening dream that
you’ve been having quite often lately. Dazed, your -filled
eyes wander about the room as they always do when you wake, but
something is different this time. There is a book atop the desk,
a book full of blank pages. But this no empty tome. It seems that
a spirit of sorts named "Rempo" is bound to this book and as you
are drawn closer it enlightens you on the nature of the book you
behold. It is known as the "Book of Prophecy" and upon the
insistence of the spirit, you leave on a journey to to fill its
pages and in the process make an impact on the world, the likes
of which you never could have foreseen.
Gameplay
The connection between your dream as the main character and the
book you are shown by Rempo is that the world has been slated for
destruction, but only temporarily. The powers that be intend to
recreate what they destroy, but require a blueprint for this,
which is the purpose of the book. It is your job to seek out all
the things that are to be recreated and note them in the book.
But nothing is so straightforward in an RPG. There are forces in
the world that would keep you from your appointed task. You must
foil them by using the book itself.
Although the Book of Prophecy does serve as a storage device, it
is much more than that. It is player's main tool, having a part
in almost every aspect of the game. It takes a comprehensive
snap of whatever it comes in contact with. This can be things
as different and disconnected as a blade of grass and a .
But as this is happens players will see that nothing is quite
what it appears. All items are made up of a collection of
attributes, many of which go unnoticed in their natural state.
Once broken done into their separate pieces and laid out in the
book, not unlike LEGO in the hands of a child or genes under the
micro of a scientist, these can recombined as the player
sees fit to alter the strengths and weakness of enemies, solve
puzzles, etc. Another added gameplay element that players will
enjoy relates to the gender of the playable hero/heroine they
choose. Although the beginning scenarios faced by either will be
very similar, their end points may be quite different, allowing
for hours of extra game time and replayability.
