$11.99 only!!

This is a game by a brand new developing studio, Valkyria Games

SUMMARY:

The apparition of your loved one stands before you.
The rain comes down so hard it stings, and the lightning flashes to illuminate the
darkened windows of the decrepit monastary you stand before.

Inside this maze of ruins, is your loved one, lost, trapped, and alone. No one will
come to your aid. No one will offer you any support, or weapons, or tools, save
those you must find yourself.

Can you solve the mystery of the Monastary? Can you uncover the secrets contained within?
Brave the unknown terrors inside, find hidden rooms and secret chambers, and unlock the
mysterious past before the sun comes up, and you may get out alive!

I thought it was Warfare's game too, and when I googled Valkyria Games, NOTHING came up... I smell a conspiracy... (Plus right now, Del is coincidentally (?) online) But even though I may be completely wrong, looks good. I'll give it a try, and if it's good, I'll buy it :)

Doesn't matter...I like it +::biggrin a lot of hunting and seems more like Skyborn where you have limited encounters...all the more good so we can concentrate on the exploration +::Thumbup My time-limit is up and just waiting to get the key +::Dance

Edit: Just completed the game +::whistle If you are looking for a lot of exploration and questing...try it +::biggrin There are battles, most will not reappear after you've successfully fought them. There is a training one tho...just to level you up a tiny bit to get by, you'' find it in jail +::biggrin Just love the holy water pools!!!!! What a life saver +::biggrin Don't think I got all the chess pieces tho, and can't figure out how to get to that one guy on the top floor +:::| Really different music for different sections and those sound effects which set the atmosphere in some places +::biggrin

It is nice to know you liked it!

UPDATED VERSION NOW AVAILABLE!

Here are the fixes:

- MOST IMPORTANT, there was foolish bug where the well right at the entrance of the monastery teleported you to an advanced area messing up with the whole game chronology and functionality.

- We have created a new introduction scene to get the mood going for the game.

- Dialogues were made more objective and casual, they were shortened and made easier to understand.

- The overall visuals were lightened, so it is much easier to see the environment and percept what is going around you.

- The backtracking in the early stages of the game has been removed, the gameplay is much more smooth now

+::O_o Advanced territory???? +::biggrin Had a blast with that area +::biggrin Really had to hunt for those pools +::biggrin The really tough part was Ms. Coy and the monster...one-on-one. Glad for the save before then +::biggrin
And before I forget...ever so grateful for those sparkling points showing specific places! I really needed those to continue +::Thumbup

I got my battles, questing, hidden objects to locate and a very determined wife +::biggrin Neat game Odin. Have to give this another try because I want to see the difference and also try to find that bandaged man on that top floor and get all 32 chess pieces ;)

Biggest Tip:
Spoiler: show
Make sure you save before entering any new screen +::biggrin You never know when you can 'bite the dust' just trying to approach something looking very innocent and fall into a booby trap for a "Game Over" +::biggrin

That is a great tip Alikamou! :)

Bandaged man is quite the mystery isn't it?

+::shhhh I saw him again just now and still can't figure out how I'm gonna get to him +::biggrin

That aside...just re-downloaded and re-playing....LOVE THAT INTRO! It really segued in beautifully +::Thumbup Had to test out the waterwell outside, too +::biggrin

Edit: Before I forget +:oops: "senior moments" +::biggrin Is there a cap on levels? Only got them to around 17 +::biggrin

Nope, you could go as high as 99 if you had the patience.

I'm curious about something, does the merchant speech is a reference to the merchant speech from Resident Evil 4?
