No title screen yet.

The story is about a man who finds a magic chamber that allows him to relive the lives of people from different parts of the past. He progresses through a labyrinth, unlocking different parts of history and experiencing them firsthand. He is also trying to remove a curse that stops him from remembering/understanding his own convoluted past. As he gains power in this labyrinth world, his power increases in the physical world as well, and he is able to grant his party members the ability to do things like cast magic.

The hero's background is that he was a jail guard who was dismissed on suspicion that he helped a prisoner to escape. He is older than your typical hero, late twenties or thirties, and has a wife.

The story has more serious yet more subtle tones than many games I have played. I'm including themes of betrayal, power, and inequality. The general feel of the world and the events in it may be similar to Yasumi Matsuno games (Vagrant Story, FF Tactics), but easier to grasp... The world is a mix different eras, much like the now popular post-apocalyptic fantasy world, but is still decidedly more of a fantasy world. For example, a communication form similar the internet exists in the world, but things like robots, modern vehicles, and science do not.

You'll notice I didn't mention a distinct antagonist. This is because the character's conflicts will mostly center around the hero versus the world at large. Thus, antagonist(s) will not emerge obviously and immediately.

These are some of the concepts for now. I hope that gave you an idea of the story. Just prod me if you want me to share more!
