Lex Johnson is a famous horror writer who has a lot of
pressure to create a next best-seller. Taking time out
of his busy schedule, Lex has ventured to the remote
regions of Europe to research ghost stories for his
new book. He is searching for "Ninguna Muerte", the
"Village of No Death". A place where no one dies.
Hidden within a deep valley, there are tales of ghosts
being seen at night.
Lex sets out during the harsh winter in search of the
village, even has he has started having dreams of a
mysterious woman and a dark cavern which draws him
in closer each night.
What awaits Lex in the village, will haunt him forever....
The game features:
- *No Battles
- *Puzzles of all kinds
- *Two different endings
- *Mature Content / Ages 16 and up
Not only does the game haunt Lex forever, but it'll leave
a mark on all of you game players out there. The first
survival horror game for RPG Maker 3 doles out the freakiness
in spades.
Sometimes, you'll hear someone laughing in the mist. Or maybe
something whispering...but you know you're all alone. You'll
see things that are there one minute, gone the next. Horrible
visions of things past and things to come. And that's the first
20 minutes!
Vonwert, the puzzle guru, also manages to create some nice puzzles
for his first RM3 outing, which is hindered slightly by the
Maker's limitations, but still does a good job.
I recommend this game to anyone who wants to see how well
RPG Maker 3 can be used for atmospheric effects. Keep up
the fantastic work, Vonwert!
