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!

Thanks Gezelschaft - this has been noted and will be fixed in the next update!
Been enjoying the game so far, and I have discovered a major bug issue.

In the underwater cave with breathable water, when u load your save file under the water your character will stuck there.



Luckily, Escape skill can be used here.

There was a line repeated in General Tedmund's speech in courtyard.

And one more thing, I find the screen color changing time wise is quite annoying in my opinion. Because it's getting too dark at some point and too reddish, but I appreciate the effort nonetheless!

Thank you for making this game, cheers!
I think the screenshot issue is just an unfortunate side-effect of the video options plug-in I'm using. I generally play in window mode and use Alt+Print Screen to screenshot.
I`m not a master on computers, but i use ctrl+printscreen. Then save it in paint and from paint to folder:pictures. Pretty sure that`s not the easiest way to fix it. Then i upload it in my locker or somewhere else.
Here's a link to the Discord channel: https://discord.gg/u3a39pj

I'm not sure about the print screen issue. Unfortunately, this probably isn't something that I can fix. Can you try print screening in window mode? If you press Alt+Print Screen, it will only screenshot the currently selected window.

In your third edit, which room exactly are you talking about? Will make sure to fix when I release a patch.

The issue with the bats was actually mentioned to me during beta-testing, but I thought they were talking about a different encounter, unfortunately.

Thanks for notifying me of these bugs - I will soon make a fix. I'm not sure why you can't screenshot. Are you using print screen?

I press the "Print" key but the screenshots I insert in Word are black.

The only place I tried that was the riddle room in the Enchanted Forest (under the graveyard). I play in Window mode for better tabbing between game/word but change to fullscreen for screenshots.

Please note my edit 3!

Have you a Dischord Channel for this game (or a steam account)? Then you can send me a friendship request (Firefly130984) or link via PM. I am using the same avatar.

I won't make a bug report this time (writing a guide though).

But what about the blond NPC that appeared when you have to enter Colhaven as part of to the main story line? He stands south of the barrel at the eastern exit but you cannot reach him.

Edit: in the Enchanted Forest SE cave (you can bypass the boulder and the pillars) the battle against the 3 Bats is a neverending loop. (but it is possible to escape as long you are faster than the bats)

Edit 2: Why can't I make screenshots for the guide (or for bugs)?

Edit 3: Why have I to push the statues on the switches to open the doors? I can enter them nonetheless (at least the 2nd one, didn't try the first).
Quick update. I received a ton of good feedback during the beta, and continue to receive valuable feedback from those who are still beta testing. I am playtesting my game one final time to rebalance many of the enemies. I should be finished with my final playtest relatively soon. After that, I will release the first public version!

To those still playtesting, you can continue to do so after I release the first public version, because I plan to release patches and new versions periodically if needed. I do encourage those who have the beta to upgrade to the newest version once I release it, though!

I am so excited to share my game with you all!

Oh, don't do that! For one thing, you can't. For another, what would RMN be without TheRpgmakerAddict?

Progress update. The beta release is getting very close. I will be posting a blog post soon to invite beta testers.


Yay! I am ready. This game looks interesting, maps looks great but I am curious about the rest.
Progress update. The beta release is getting very close. I will be posting a blog post soon to invite beta testers. I finished a side quest, and I plan on adding one more. This shouldn't take long - it's probably just going to be a map or two with a boss fight. I also remade a small village last night to make it look more like the rest of the game. (I've effectively remade the entire game in the past year or two...)

Side quest list:

Curse of the Vampire Queen
Call of the Kraken
The Spear of Ra
Blessing of the Light Goddess
The Dragon Trio of Wyrm's Peak
