And then the game popped out of fullscreen (it runs at 640x480, but F8 has it take up your whole screen) and back into a little window, and a Windows dialogue box popped up. It comments that the safe combination is not available in this world. Using it, it becomes clear the machine is talking to me, not the game's character, which she picks up on as well. I was wandering the Messiah through the outer province of The Barrens, a little stuck for what to do and pretty sure I needed to find the combination for a safe I'd discovered elsewhere, and found a computer inside an abandoned building.
It gets a little stranger when three other protagonists are introduced, one of them being, well, you. Okay, fairly standard RPG stuff, if still bleak and peculiar. The Messiah is prophesied (so you are told by a specially powered ProphetBot) to carry the sun to the top of the tower in the central city of this world, and return light to the land. Instead she finds herself in a desolate wasteland of broken robots, fragmented lands, and eternal darkness.īut, you almost immediately learn, she is the chosen one! She is the "Messiah", clutching - as she is for most of the game - a light bulb the few remaining locals refer to as "the sun". Getting out from there perhaps evokes locked room games so popular on mobile, but this isn't a theme that lasts. There's a shelf, a PC, a window and a TV remote.
You play as a young girl with cat-like eyes who wakes to find herself in a sparse, locked room. Things start off with few hints of what's to come.
#ONESHOT GUIDE LOST PC#
It does stuff with my PC that I didn't know games could do. But then this is a game that does stuff with that cutesy engine that I would never have thought possible. Which is rather a lot to say of a game made in RPGMaker. It's also been a really long time since I've cared about a game's main character quite so much, to the point where decisions really mattered to me.
