Gone Fireflies

A bittersweet strong story driven rpg maker game. This game shines in it's touching story and it's beautifully designed areas. The game is text heavy, but, the text is broken up by walking and exploration. [h1]Pros[/h1] +Beautifully designed maps especially for rpg maker standards +Excellent and touching storyline. +Hauntingly beautiful soundtrack +Multiple choices to affect dialogue +Multiple endings +Controller Support +Attentive Developer [h1]Cons[/h1] - Some delay on text slowing progress a bit but not as bad as it was since launch. This is a strong narrative experience only faltered by it's sometimes a bit too slow pacing. It will take you about an hour and a half to play through once. I'll definitely be playing through this one again. Would recommend for a game that better defines how rpg maker games can be explored and created.

Another gem I found randomly a couple of months back on sale for .99 cents. It's a short story driven game that I personally adored for it's own little charm. The game has different endings based on your choices, so it has replayability value. The game does transitions past to present kind of thing, which I feel is done really well. You play two different families during transitions, so you get to play as different characters and see their stories while the stories also wind up playing together. As of right now this is the only game by this dev, and honestly I'm hoping there's a possibility there will be more gems like this.

I don't know what I was expecting from Gone Fireflies as I opened it up, but it was certainly not the rollercoaster of emotions that decided to give me a ride. It was a truly amazing experience. A great divergence from the usual turn-based RPG Maker games. The story both have some fun and really sad parts. If you're a person like me who like a story being told and getting to know characters rather than having to fight your way through, then this is a good one for you.

Beautiful game, heart crushing story. T_T <3

Those 2 hours certainly didn't go to waste, Gone Fireflies tells a story, plain and simple, there is no much 'gameplay' involved. The soundtrack is amazing and greatly adds to the atmosphere, for a first shot at game developing using the RPGMaker i'll say its a really good try,
