Help me identify this game

Post by Kjorteo »

I consulted with #rawr, and even happened to find some old folks like Breakout and Skullie on that night, but not even they seemed to know!

Okay, so, the basic idea of the game is that a princess gets kidnapped by this evil necromancer who's going to make her do a dark ritual wedding thing at like midnight or something, and the king and the princess' sisters want you to go rescue her. The twist is that she actually wasn't kidnapped and really likes the necromancer! She's marrying consentually, but they didn't know that, and you only figure it out if you explore well enough and find the hidden clues and stuff. There's a total crapload of endings, depending on whether you learn that in time, or assume the necromancer is evil and kill him, or free this demon guy you meet on the way who grants you your choice of several wishes, many of which are more endings...there could even be more things I'm forgetting, but maybe not, but the point is there are a whole freaking lot of endings.

POSSIBLE LEAD: Breakout swears this sounds like something nivek would do. (I had to take his word for it, because this was before my time so I'm not familiar with the guy and don't think I've even heard the name before tonight.) I went through the list of nivek games on z2, but none of them appear to be it. However, Breakout is so convinced that this is a nivek job that he theorized that nivek must have made some extra games that just happen to not be on z2. (Like this one, apparently, according to him.)

EDIT: Skullie thinks it might be a 24HoZ. That would explain why it isn't in the z2 game list. However, unless 24HoZ games used to be so fantastic that they make full-fledged real games today look bad, I fail to see how a game this robust and this awesome could have been made in 24 hours. I mean, I would be stunned.

EDIT EDIT: Breakout realized the mental screenshot he was getting from my description was from Defender of Castle Sin, which is not the right game. He is now significantly less sure that this had to have been a nivek effort, though still maintains that it sounds like the kind of thing he would do. (If not, though, he says BlueMagus would be another possible suspect.)

EDIT EDIT EDIT: It's Warlock's Domain, which is neither a 24HoZ nor a nivek game. (Nor is it even BlueMagus!) Thanks a lot guys. >:( Nah, it's cool, as long as I actually got it identified so I can play it now. Thanks Commodore!

On an unrelated note, it's nice to see that some of the old people are coming back.

I think there used to be a sticky thread for that, but no one ever used it.

But that could be cool to revive!
