| Synopsis |
Everlong is a free amateur Role-Playing-Game set in an immersive fantasy world of dragons, knights, and wizards. The mighty and merciless Cirigoth Empire seeks dominion over the entire globe, and it will not be long before they succeed. Soon the kingdom of Seraphia, the last free land of the west, will fall to the Cirigoth's puppet state Tyr-Anon, leaving only the divided countries of the east unconquered.
Trouble is brewing within the vast lands of the Cirigoth Empire, however, as an organization known as the Valiantide continues to generate sympathy and threatens to spark armed rebellion. A Blackguard Knight, one of the Cirigoth military elite, has also turned traitor and escaped pursuit.
Despite the immediate danger posed by the Valiantide, the emperor's advisers have convinced him to continue hunting vigorously for the fugitive soldier. The fate of the world may be decided by which side the Blackguard fights for, but the agents of the Cirigoth are closing in and time is running out for him to reach safety from the impending shadow.
Using Enterbrain's RPGMaker2003@ engine, Everlong is designed to create a nostalgic or "old-school" feel similar to the 16-bit and two dimensional RPGs of the SNES era. The player travels through a highly detailed medieval world, interacting with dozens of colorful characters, both friendly and enemy, to advance the story while combating the many monsters that will attempt to hinder their journey.
