When people ask me to name the best amateur RPG I've ever played, I'm stuck to decide between Starless Umbra (which is still in development) and The Way (which is finished).

It's free to download and play. The Way was made with RPG Maker 2000 by Lun Calsari. No profit is made in any way by the author.

If you don't have the time or patience, a Youtuber who goes by Malefact is doing a video series on The Way, which covers an entire playthrough.

      it is definitely not sinister.. it affects the right side of the brain

      swoosh *comment goes over Agit8r's head*

      sorry... bad joke, I guess
      sinister means left and the sub conscious is the right half of the brain.. Lame joke, my bad

      It starts off linear and you lose the first few Plunge duels, but it really picks up in episodes 2 and 3.

    Bump.

    There's a lot of philosophy and poetry used in The Way. Some of it is more subtle than the others.

    For example, the four transcendent auras (most powerful in the game), Aionsluh, Pandamaare, Hatassassar, and Illuminati, can be viewed as metaphors for chaos, evil, law, and good (in that order). (Also, that's the four transcendent sword auras ordered from strongest to weakest.)

    Well, I may give it a try.
    6 episodes, how many hours of gameplay does it provide? Any idea?
    1. voodooKobra
      Roughly? 50. The sixth episode should be 10 to 20 alone.

    three words for me...
    World of Warcraft!!!!

    LINK ZELDA FINAL FANTASY 1-100000000000000,

    Those are like WAY cool.

    I tried getting through Fairytales... got to the war zone couldn't figure out how to get past it without cheating.

    That's when I hate RPGs, when you have to use a CHEAT to get through them.

    Then it's someone else's game - no longer yours.
