Kindred Saga by Qheretic

 
Set in a Dystopian future, a small group of thieves live out their lives in the slums of the city of Terrason, stealing from greedy kingpins and corrupt politicians and avoiding law enforcement. One of the thieves, Slaine, has always felt that there is another "him" out there somewhere in the world. He is haunted by dreams of another persons life, a life filled with murder and destruction. Even worse is the figure in Slaine's dream continually threatens to "consume him".
While pulling a high profile heist, Slaine will find out the true meaning of his dreams, and who the ruthless and mysterious figure in them is.
 
 
Kindred Saga is a classic techno-fantasy rpg, released in 2001, it was created by Qheretic that combines the co-op tech abilities of Chrono Trigger, the character field puzzles of Breath of Fire and the dark and dreary setting of Final Fantasy 7's Midgar. Despite being only a demo, it influenced the games of the following Years. The version here includes the walkthrough for the puzzles included.
 

 
 
Random Fact: a battle system demo made by Qheretic and used in Kindred Saga was also uploaded separately with its own story. See below for this extra.
 

Final Verdict: an excellent game, heavily inspired by Final Fantasy VII, innovative for many aspects like the use of custom menus and side view battles. It also featured some interesting characters. A classic.


EXTRA - Kindred Saga BS: This is a stand alone techdemo of the battle system used in Kindred Saga that has its own story, and was released before the true game. The plot is about Seade, a fighter who wants to become famous by winning the next Terrason Tournament. He will also find other challenges along the way.
