Can you and your team of adventurers do it all in time? Play EVERLASTING JOURNEY to find out.  

 

Everlasting Journey is an epic and humorous fantasy adventure, that's also a real journey, and this means that it consists in a series of connected episodes that are pretty much linear, being a an on-the-road adventure. During the joutney Sparrow will meet lots of friends and foes, but besides exploration and battles you may expect minigames, puzzles, action sequences, card games, and the option to get drunk at the tavern.The game uses mostly the usual rpgmaker assets and the occasional edit and custom sprite, but mapping is extremely well done with attention to the details.

Random Fact: Sparrow is a drunkard, and this is seen from the very first scenes. The developer added a a "drunk system" to represent the dizziness of being intoxicated, but surprisingly this wasn't the first time this has ben done: in fact Pepsiotaku originally made the drunk system, with the same interface, for the collaborative game Alex III that was posted previously. In that game Alex at the casino can become drunk exactly like Sparrow in Everlasting Journey. 

 

 

Final Verdict: despite the occasional bit of frustrating gameplay or imprecision (typos for example in Firam King dialogue or Phillip listed to be able to use swords that are instead used by Sparrow, for example) Everlasting Journey is a fantastic game full of memorable characters, cool treasures, immersive towns and countries, a funny, adventurous storyline, and a number of movie references and RPG cliches as well!
