Discuss Exile's Journey over on Discord!

Exile’s Journey is a dark fantasy RPG. The story centers around a former knight named Kniryk and his quest to stop a demon invasion that is occurring throughout the Kingdom of Nysoroth, where most of the game takes place.

The game focuses on the internal struggles of the main characters in addition to the aforementioned invasion and its impact on the Kingdom.

The main character of the game is Kniryk. An exile by choice, he's now presumed dead in Landoria, his homeland. He's a righteous man, always acting with a sense of honor. However, he is often torn when justice and law conflict. He wears the red cape of the Knights of Landoria as a testament to what they originally stood for before their corruption. He's joined in his quest by others who also question their purpose in the world.

This game is a love letter to RPG Maker and role-playing games as a whole. With Exile's Journey, I strived to make a game that feels wholly consistent and maintains a professional feel. I've been using RPG Maker since 2003.



Highly engrossing storyline - You'll be hooked playing as these characters, learning about their diverse backgrounds, and watching as they develop and solve their own personal conflicts.

Open ended gameplay - After an introductory section, you're allowed to complete the game's dungeons in any order you want!

Numerous side quests - These side quests are optional, but without them you won't receive the game's best armor and equipment, or the game's only method of air travel! These side quests feature story lines of their own and offer a break from the game's main story.

15+ hours of gameplay - This game will be much longer and more epic than your average RPG Maker game!

Extremely detailed world - This game takes doesn't allow you to travel the whole world, only the large and extremely detailed Kingdom of Nysoroth. After playing and learning of the country's cultures and history you'll feel like a true Nysorothian!

Original music - Many of this music are original tracks, many of them composed by myself for the game!

Custom sound effects - I created many of the game's sound effects, including the menu sound effects, on a Korg Wavestation synthesizer!

Weapon upgrade system - Some weapons will almost never become obsolete thanks to this!

No random encounters - see enemies on the map before engaging them!

Treasure tracking - The game keeps track of all the treasure you've found in the main dungeons! Find all treasure chests to obtain a special reward!

The 2020 Misao winners have been announced! Exile's Journey wins two!

I'm sure many of you are well aware already, but for those who aren't, I'd like to announce with great pride that Exile's Journey has won two Misaos:

Not Dead Yet Award (Given to the best old game that was finally finished this year)
and
"Everlasting Journey" Award (The game that has the most content to offer)

My game also secured many other nominations. I've been following the Misaos for a long time, and from a young age. I first became aware of these annual awards after the 2005 winners were announced, when games like The Way, Laxius Power 3, and Pokemon: The Evil Inside featured prominently. As such, it's an honor for me to finally have a game of my own nominated and awarded various Misaos.

I recommend that everyone take a look at the link below. There were so many great contenders this year. All of the games featured below, winners or not, definitely deserve a play.

Thank you to everyone for your continued support. It means a lot to me. I've been a bit quiet recently, but I am still working on my newest game, Memories From a Dream. Please subscribe if you haven't!

I really enjoyed this game. The mapping here is truly outstanding and had some of the most immersive dungeon crawling I've experienced. I wrote a quick recommendation on my blog here: Exile's Journey

Do you hear any sound at all when you play the game? For example, do you hear the menu sound effects?
Hi, how do I help the sick woman in the house? The husband mentions something about the house behind the item shop but I couldn't open it.

This quest is only doable in act 2.
Here what you have to do:

Arwald – Curse of the Vampire Queen
Items: Bone Shield (in town), High Potion x2, Stimulant, 25 Gold, Mana Water, Healing Herb
Enter the house north of the item shop (remember that request) to gather Healing Herb and talk to the alchemist. The Vampire Queen seems to live in the well just outside his house. Buy at least 6x Garlic and protect against ice (and wear fire weapons)!
Use you Garlic on the Vampires.
Boss Vampire Queen: Use Garlic each time the formation changes and Fire. Drops the Blood Spear.
Report to the alchemist. Reward: 250 Gold
Note Sidequests: Even if you can do them now, it is recommended to do one of the Hell Gate spots first to gain a healer.
Ok thanks, that and the kraken, how do you find the rest of the sidequests? I went back to the town in the north of Arwald and helped ward off the demons but it didnt appear as a sidequest.

Also how do you change party members? I've chosen the Kobold to replace Adaem and now I can't find any button or anywhere in the menu to replace him back.

This should help you with all the side quests.
As for the party management, I forgot.
But it could be either at save points or in inns.
I've tried both and it doesn't work, save points just automatically activate and makes me save or not and I can't find Adaem anywhere in my party.

Hello, ivoryjones. I may have already answered this for you on Discord, but you can change your party members by pressing the shift key.
I had to run this game in windows 8 compatibility mode to get this to do anything other than just a black screen with music playing when I booted the game, just a heads up for anyone else.

Strange, I had no problems then with Windows 10.
The only advice I can give you is installing the correct RTP for this game's engine.

Ok i thought this may be because i have an old OS, Windows XP, and the game can't work with it, but other games here with RM2K3 are working nicely. What i hear is the rain fall at the beginning, and all the sounds, like chests opening or the healing thing, shouts and swords clash, but not the menu sound effects, and sadly no music, even on the title screen..
So once the game becomes non-linear and you're told to go to one of the 3 points in any order, I go to the closest one and first fight out on the world map, I get demolished. So you can't just "go in any order" Was a good game till that point, just getting deleted now.
I wish the accounts of certain n00bs would get deleted instead. Two weeks here and nothing but shit-posts.

So at the first sign of challenge you drop out? It's unfortunate that so many people are getting so used to easy games.

My sentiments exactly. That was a bitch thing to say.
Shame on you, guy. Give your balls a tug.
