Phylomortis review
By: Cedric

Story:
There was a time when everyone suddenly had lost mentality. Due to a
group known as the gnostics, everyone was unable to function well.
Fights broke out into wars and it took the strongest will of the
greatest minds just to get little things done. However, the gnostics
did not know they were doing this. Peace gradually returned and now a 
woman named Maia goes to a peace conference to settle the Gnostics/Yatar
Wars dispute. But will all go well?

The opening is a real eyecatcher, by integrating the credits in with
the story. Very impressive. When the game finally begins, you get to
choose between two difficulty levels. Maps are greatly done and
the story is unique in many ways. There are, as most beta rpgs, it's
share of typos. The amazing way government is portrayed (which seems
accurate enough to me) really makes the story flow. The game is split
into a couple chapters, which is always a nice touch. And one thing
that I've been noticing more, this game also has the text boxes that
shows what town/dungeon/etc that you are in with graphically pleasing
bitmaps. Lots of great music in here, there's a bunch I've never heard
before. I noticed that in the first place, the chief, Eos, stops moving
after an event. It really sticks out when everyone else is animated.
The puzzles can be extremely hard and tiresome if you don't understand
the instructions. Sadly, mosaic was used for battles again. There was a
part in the second chapter, at the institute where I got stuck, because
I couldn't go over the bridge in the left brain to talk to the girl
who knows the feeding cycle.
