Crestfallen: Inception Act I
Game Author: Lun
Review by: Master of Time
Let me start by just saying, �Whoa.�


Graphics: 8/10
Lun used mostly the default tiles, but he added a few others. All in all it suits the way the game was carried out. Very nice.

Sound: 10/10
The sounds in this game are used PERFECTLY. Especially in the Forest, the sounds will always fit the mood of the game. I recognized most of the MIDIs in the game, but they were used so well. I just hate it when a song doesn't fit the mood of the game but Lun is apparently very skilled at this.

Game play: 10/10
I can't talk too much here without giving some stuff away but let's just say that the �chase scene� caught this reviewer WAY off guard, and resulted in about an hour or two extra used to finish the game. All the puzzles were well thought out and progressed in a logical way. Nothing felt out of place or unnecessary.

Ending: ?/10 It doesn't seem like there was one but if there was, then I'm sorry but it is lacking here. Since I haven't played act II yet, this category shall be weighted as a 0. Sorry.

Story Line: 6.5/10
Very well planned and carried out. However, the game itself has very, VERY little to do with the opening scenes, and that is a problem. A problem big enough to cost some points here. Maybe Act II will answer more?

OVERALL: 8/10
An outstanding game in almost every respect. The lack of an ending doesn't hurt it all that much. Definitely the best RPG Maker 95 game yet.

P.S. WHY IT DIDN'T GET A PERFECT SCORE: I feel that for a game to receive a perfect score, it should be perfect in any and all respects related to the way it was made. This game was extremely good, but I do think that RPG Maker 95 games can be pushed a little bit farther.
