The story so far...

Act 1: The Gathering

Fifty years after the defeat of the tyrant god, Set, the world of Rie rests in a state of idle peace. However, things are not as peaceful as they seem. A man who calls himself the Master of Souls has made a bargain with a demon lord Eivion - one thousand human souls in exchange for demonic immortality and overwhelming power. This prophecy has set itself in motion, ticking down soul by soul. Now the end is near. And where are the only six people in the world who have the capability to stop the Master of Souls before the world is lost forever? They are each being slowly lured to the CIty of Tar' Jahri, where they will be gathered together unaware of their fates.

Join Aeon and his allies and enemies as they head toward Tar' Jahri, with one question tugging on the back of their minds

Who or what is the Master of Souls?


Act 2: The Suffering

The Master of Souls has begun to capture the world of Rie. Slowly, but surely, the great nations of the world have fallen to him: The frozen kingdom of Ineldal; the Faerie Land of Lenria, the desert city of Septia, and the jungles of Tar' Jahri have all been destroyed, now all that stands in his path to destroy the Gods themselves is the capital city of Pendonia. And where are the heroes who are destined to stop him? They are desperately searching for an escape from the underworld.

Help Aeon and his band of adventurers escape from the underworld, even when faced with terrible perils such as a plague of Basalisks, a cursed orb of power, and an ancient sorcerer, bent on destroying mortals.

Act 3: The Ending
After an impossible escape from their prison, Aeon and his allies return to the surface world only to find their homes in ruin. Thrusen's devastating war has consumed nearly all the kingdoms of Rie leaving a small rebel army in Pendonia. The time has come for the chosen ones to start fighting back. Will the heroes free the world's kingdoms and topple this dictator, or will the world fall to darkness in his evil grip?

Play as Aeon, Lidya, Christina, and many others in the final chapter of their adventure as they fight against the world itself to liberate millions of innocent people. But just what is the Master of Souls' final plan? And is it too late to stop him?

Trailer for Master of Souls Act II - The Struggling

The Real Release

So, for real this time: let's talk about the full game.
Due to a couple of factors the game obviously was not in shape for release four months ago. It was a combination of a busy life, lots of bugs, testers having difficulty, and my lack of internet connection. But that's behind us now!
Fortunately, we've been able to exceed the release date (October), and instead are releasing the third and final act of the Master of Souls now!
As I mentioned before in the other blog, the game consists (all three acts in total) of a solid 20-30 hours of gameplay, 50+ quests, and 11 playable characters (not all at the same time). The final act will likely be released sometime today or tomorrow.
One last little tidbit of food for thought, because of all of the recent trouble with the game some of the areas were tested less vigorously than others. This means that essentially at the end of the game, expect a few more bugs. I doubt there will be too many, but if you find a bug PLEASE post it here on this blog. I'll deal with it as soon as I can.

Some final words? I guess I'd like to just thank the community here for all of the support and understanding that I've received over the course of this ridiculously long project. RMN really is a great place and a great community. As always, I hope that you all enjoy the game!

lol, it's ok... all of Damien's tower is made up of annoying puzzles, but once you get used to it they become much easier.
finished act1. great game. When is act2 the struggling coming out???
hmm, most likely towards april/may/june... not really sure, we're about halfway through though so it shouldn't be as long as act I, I'm really happy you liked it though!
everyone be weary, everguard is very busy thinking about Earth's magnetic field depleting in 300 years and having Earth be turned into a lifeless planet by solar wind just like mars did

Snap out of it everguard

NEVER!!!

so far great game, but i'm stuck after defeating the to witches. There's a trap in front of the cave. on the left side a statue with a clue ONE THOUSAND and right THREE. On the pole i tried every combination of the four digits but nothing helps. HELP.

stuck here even with the clues.
Alright, for those of you who want the answer to that riddle, I'll put it here in a spoiler alert

You have to go to both sides of each statue, there are four clues in all. Once you have the clues, add up the numbers in all capital letters, then go to the post and put in that number in numeral form, not as a word.

Cheers mate, don't normally have problems with puzzles but couldn't get my head around that one. Really good game, enjoying it.
Thanks a lot! Due to something in real life, I haven't quite had the time to finish up the last few Goodie Cave Cheats for Act II, and release it for testing. But it should be tested within the next week or so, so stay tuned!
why does this game keep showing up on the front page?
I added a beta download for the testers of Act II. The download only appears to the testers, but the game still shows up on the front page.
I copied my finale save game from the gathering into the struggling but it's not working. I only receive the same message that you can copy etc.....and than the game ends.
Ok i had a safe file with christina and loaded it. But when i arrived at the church and must prepare to fight the priestress there was a character NAIVEM at level 50 that i could put in the group and with one single spell he killed the priestress. At the beginning of act2 i rechanged the party to the original crew and then Naivem was no longer avaible. Is this a bug???
Yeah... dang it. Naivem is a side character in some cutscenes in Act II, when you move from act I to act II he becomes unavailable until you need him. This is why I reccomend people don't load save files until they complete Act I, but I'll try to find a way to fix that. Sorry about it though, I hope it didnt ruin the game or anything.
I have found Damien's and Ealliott's keys. Where is the third one? I've tried searching all over the witch town and the elf forest. I cannot defeat the Strigoi at the tree yet, the the cave in the elf forest has a fence in front of it that I cannot get through. Help!

but the finale save from act1 does'nt work. Another question if you restart the game from scratch i understand that the download from act1 is not necessary, correct???
@Jovada: You are 100% correct :) I don't know why the finale save file didn't work for you, I tried it on a friend's computer that way and it worked...

@Horror: Have you reallychecked in the elf town, here's a hint: Check out everything on the second floor of the only house.
In order to retrieve the egg in the swamp i need a fake bloodstone. I bought one at the itemshop but you can only give it to lydia or theo who drops it in the swamp. I suppose that it would be a to easy quest if that was the right bloodstone, but i searched everywhere and there is no other bloodstone.I have the letter from the mayor to go to the skeleton in the cavern and my question is can the bloodstone quest be resolved before i leave or do i find the stone elswhere????
The bloodstone must be found in an entirely different area of the game. You know the boarded up cavern in the Sinister Woods? That cavern has a fake bloodstone in it, the one you need to get the egg. But the only way to open it is to find dynamite, hidden somewhere in the Basalisk Caverns.
WARNING

Don't retrieve the orb before completing the eggquest or it will be impossible to complete that quest.
