A Lost Boy
A downloadable game for Windows and Android
This is a first attempt at making a game in RPGMaker2k3 that comepletely failed. This is a free example you can use to learn how to not make a game for the first time. Nothing the protagonist can actually do or say matters. None of the characters have a story or matter at all.
Even if you enjoy playing, nothing in the game matters.
AN UNREMARKABLE MISADVENTURE:
Your favorite stories have been carrying an echo for over 5000 years. Destruction has always threatened the preservation of creation. Will your favorite stories actually help when the bygone spirits of the old world threaten your sense of reality.
Who can be saved from it? Who is worth saving? Can you even save yourself?
What will your story ultimately be?
DO YOU FEEL LIKE...
Mother/EarthBound is too weird to enjoy the story?
Pokemon is too tiring to enjoy the gameplay?
Undertale is too silly to enjoy the dialogue?
You might absolutely hate playing A LOST BOY!

Challenging yet rewarding experience. Witty narrator and an oddly recognizable cast of towns people. Easy to die (so save often) but also easy to get up and keep going. I'm enjoying it so far, curious to see what the creator will add in the future!
Thanks for playing! I'm always updating it in my free time. Check for new versions and your saves should still work if its only a letter change and not a number change between versions. Saves may not work properly if the number changes between versions.
