Great Shift RPG Game: Walkthrough Chapter 1

First of all, i don't recommend reading this. The game is not very big yet and if you read this you're going to be done with it very fast. If however you are stuck somewhere and don't know how to get to the next step, you might find some tips in the basic version. If you really can't figure it out, there's a spoiler version, which tells you everything how to get through fast.


Follow these Instructions (these are just the BASIC steps):

1. Talk to the CARRIER on the very first map. You can't miss him. Then head to the next map and follow the path to each sides.

2. You can get a pick to get through streets with a bush on them. Just talk to each of the persons standing at a pentagram. They are going to tell you a row of numbers and you'll have to find the next one.

3. The first of the professors working on the project is currently trying to figure out some other strange puzzle.
Here you have to walk over pentagrams to activate them. Six have to be activated, four have to be left off. You'll have to figure out which ones are the right ones. If you find it out, he's going to give you the first key. You also get an item which tells you the key whenever you want to.

4. You can now find a boat at the coast.

5. Find the second professor on an island. He'll give you the second key. You also get an item which tells you the key whenever you want to.

6. Type in the codes at the entry to the strange device. There are three codes, however you only get two. You'll have to figure out the third one. This is another numbers puzzle.
If you can't get it to work there's a person somewhere giving you a tip.
Also, if you really can't do it, but have found all eight pictures that are hidden on the map, you can go to a woman on a pier and she'll give you all three codes for free. You wouldn't even have to get the first two keys.

7. You'll have to push the button. You should save the game, because you might get into a Game Over screen.

8. You now have three minutes to find the person who gave you the second key. If you can't make it there in the three minutes, the game is over and you can only restart at your last save point.

9. You'll get to Aca City, which is going to be your first stop on the journey. The game ends here right now, but i'm already working on a second chapter.


PICTURES!!
As already mentioned above, there are eight pictures hidden somewhere in chapter 1.They can be at any position on the map that you can walk on. Each chapter will have a number of those pictures. In your first conversation with the CARRIER you also get an item called the Picture Book. With this item you can view all the pictures you've already found. It isn't mentioned in the game yet. I'll have to change that for the next version.

Spoiler :

2. The number is 32.
3. On the picture above all the right spots are marked.
6. The third code is: 73130 (five times the first code)
8. The great shift has happened, which is why you won't find the professor on the same island. Instead there's another island above. The body of the person the professor has switched with is on this island.
Pictures: All locations of pictures are marked with a violet rectangle on the map above.

RPG Game: The Great Shift

As you may know me, i'm always looking into alternative ways of story telling. So this time i've been looking into the world of "2d role play games" in the old school nintendo style.
You start as a scientist in a foreign country where a strange device has been found and you're supposed to find out what it does. This is only the first (and the beginning of the second) chapter of this puzzle mystery game.
If you like it i'll go on making the next chapters, but i'll need some feedback, because it's a bigger work to do it. Also, if you find bugs, please tell me.

Download (rapidshare.com , .exe , 38MB)

For your safety you should always run a virus scan on executable files and not just trust any download.
Of course i can assure you that the file is clean but everyone could just say that. So don't just trust it.
Here are some screenshots:

Peter and the doll factory

Happy new Year everybody. I'm back with a new short gif sequence and there's currently a flash sequel to this in the making. Hope you enjoy my caps in 2012 as you did in 2011. ;) See you soon.

IMPORTANT!!

It seems the gif effect is buggy sometimes. Just right click on the picture and open them in a new Window/Tab. That way they'll get reloaded and it should work.
