Liked Castle Oblivion 3? Check out the Remake of the original Castle Oblivion! http://rpgmaker.net/games/7548/

New to the series? For all of you who are new to Castle Oblivion Series, I highly recommend you to check the "History of Castle Oblivion" section!

Story:
A scientist known as Evan has his own hobby of exploring places around the world. Rumor has been told that a treasure is hidden somewhere on a very rare island that is said to be hidden deep within a fog so thick that not even the eye of a deaf captain could see it. As the young scientist prepares to sail out in the sea in hope to find the hidden island, a greater evil awaits them that neither Evan or his companion are aware of. Will this treasure hunt turn out as it was expected, or will a drastic wave change the course of this adventure?

World:
The story takes place on the ancient island of Strombidge. This island isn't the normal paradise you'd travel to on your vacations, this is the island that's so well hidden that no one's ever found it. The story also takes action in a place beyond reality. Is it a dreamworld, or is it a paradise? Is it even real? You'll have to find out about that yourself!

Gameplay and Mood:
The gameplay takes place in 2 different worlds! On the mystic island, Strombidge and inside the floors of The Castle. The game is meant to be fun to play, exciting, emotional, scary and challenging. CO3 will deliver an epic mix of both reality AND imagination. So if you're the fan of games based on true reality or the fan of the games that are surprisingly imaginable, stay on, this game might do the trick for both of you.

Features:
- A mysterious castle filled with over 9 different worlds to explore!
- Exciting and climactic story with twists!
- Fun gameplay with a good mix of exploration, battles, puzzles, scenes and more!
- Well mapped areas with beautiful, creepy, mysterious and unique atmospheres.
- Minimap system that displays in your upper left corner which you can turn on/off at almost any point!
- Secrets! Hidden arrows, items, skills, bosses, rooms, side quests and all kinds of goodies! Gives the game a good replay value.
- A challenging difficulty. The game requires thinking, rather than repetitive
button mashing.
- Two endings! A good and a bad one.

Estimated game length: 30-40 hours.

4000+ Downloads Thank You & New Game Announcement

Howdy! I'd like to dedicate this post to all of you who have decided to give CO3 a go. It's been really wonderful to hear from so many of you that you've enjoyed the game so much, even though it's my very first game. Seeing CO3 alive and active today is a great and motivating treat that keeps me going and exited to develop more and more games. Thanks for everything, guys.

Another thing that I would like to mention concerns the latest game I'm working on. It's called "Cold at Heart" and even though it may not look like CO3 and the CO1 Remake for that matter, it's still pretty similar. Like the Castle Oblivion games, Cold at Heart is at its very core a dungeon crawler.

The game is inspired by games like Super Metroid and Resident Evil and features fully custom graphics and a soundtrack (composed by myself). You can check out the game by clicking on the following logo:

Please note that the game is still in production. The demo available is currently in its Alpha stage, so any potential bugs, or errors are most likely going to be fixed for the full release.

Thanks for reading and don't forget to stay tuned for my upcoming projects!

Dear, Sir Luiishu,

I would like to extend my observation, after playing through half of the game.
Technically you achieved near perfection. Your maps are very good and pleasant to the eye, and there're no game breaking bugs. So 5.0 on programming side.

The grammar itself not that bad, but how you make sentences is all wrong. The conversations are very immature. There's some room for improvement there, but I can live with that part. So I'll give you 3.5 for that part.

NOW!!! My biggest gripe is the difficulty. It's EXTREMELY INSANE ! And it's a game breaking for me. My suggestion to you, make 2 difficulty levels. An easy one for casual gamer, and this one for seasoned ones. For an easy level, I suggest you tame the monsters by half, and give double exp/$. For example, I just fought 3 mid bosses, that had 5,000 hp each, what did I get from this fight - 2250xp/$1050, means that 5,000hp monster gave me 750exp/$350. During that fight I used 3 x mana potion @$300 cost, about 4 or 5 large potions @ $150.00 cost plus some revives. So using simple addition, financially I've spent about $2,000, but got back after fight $1,050. It doesn't work in my book. The other example is on the way to the sea island, the four fishes, that are extremely fast and have triple attack witch almost wipes my party, returns 550xp/250$. Where is the logic in this? If I'm not near the recharge crystal, I try to escape as much as possible, so the only way to advance is grind next to the crystal, but now, I need about 20,000exp to advance a level, grinding by the crystal is just plain unpractical an boring.
Means I have to have about 50-60 fights.

To make a long story short, I have to quit the game, unfortunately. I'd like to play on, but it's not enjoyable anymore. I've subscribed, in case you ever decide to take my suggestion to heart and make and "easy" difficulty level.
The actual difficulty is intended and even though it's a hard game, I had to make it even easier after the beta test. I designed the game in a way that would not make the player have to grind a lot. If you need to grind, it's usually just to gain a new skill that's useful. All bosses and enemies can be defeated with a good strategy.

I realize that this doesn't work for all players, especially the "less-seasoned ones". I have been thinking of an easy mode, but I didn't feel motivated to make one because of all the work it would take(I spent 3.5 years working on this, so I got pretty burned out after a while).

I can promise you though that there will be friendlier games from me in the future, that's for sure. I might even make different difficulty modes for them, as you said. It mainly depends on the size of the game I'm making.

It's too bad that some players have to quit because of the difficulty :/ If you'd ever feel like you have motivation to try the game again, feel free to ask me for tips/different tactics for enemies.

All in all, thanks for trying out my game! Also, sorry for the LONG reply!
Your mapping is so beautiful. It's amazing what you've done with the RTP, and that inspires me. :P
Thanks! ^^ Everything is possible, even with the RTP ;)
I know the its supposed to be hard and ok,but i wonder how to heal up without money,10 hp left .I wonder how to sell things?I must rest at the inn.I have played these kind of rpg s for ..huh.. i was there when phantasy star came..EDIT:nevermind, i met a man in the woods and i think its gonna be fine now.
Remember to sell your Gold Coins for money (I think you get 250 Gold for each coin). Also, keep an eye out for the Red Crystals; they can heal you. There are some Save Crystals that can heal you as well!
Thanks luiishu ,i know ,its ok now.A little shock only in the beginning,the game is HARD sometimes.In the desert
when Rebecca joins the game really get started and start to be really intresting,now i am glad im not quit the game(it was near)
Im trying to keep an look at what kelarly is doing but to contact him....i dont know,hes so good but dont wanna be for example here at RMN,strange,but up to him.My question is have you castle oblivion 2 complete?Im missing an audio file and i dont find it on google.EDIT:grapes and i think it was fish gives you more than description,grapes gives 100 ...and some more i forget, you maybe wanna fix it.
The beginning can be a bit challenging to some people because you only have on character. The game does get a lot more interesting when Rebecka joins (in terms of both gameplay and story). She's probably my favorite character in the game! ^^

Thanks for pointing out that error! I never noticed that (probably because I personally didn't use those items much). The carrot did also give to much/less HP, so I changed that as well.

A lot of people have been asking this from me! xD No matter, I guess I can give you a link of my old copy of CO2 (I believe it has all the resources intact). I'll PM you a link sometime this week!
Yes,can you give me a link it would be nice.Its 53 This is Halloween if its easier to just send the audiofile maybe.I dont know if others is missing.But one thing for sure:i dont think 2 its better than your game(3).Its great but its a thin line here between frustration and challenge ,but mostly challenge.The random enemies is like minibosses every time sometimes,but its cool,really.You have put in 2 warrior bracelets because the spelling is different:Warrior bracelet and warrior bracelet,no big thing but you maybe wanna change it.If you know what i mean.
What audio files are you missing? It would be a lot easier and faster for both of us if I could give you the missing files.

Everything in the game should be very manageable if you have a good strategy. I hope you won't quit because of frustration though!

I'm not quite getting the Warrior Bracelet error though (just checked).
:/
The missing file is:audio bgm 53 this is halloween .I mean that one you buy is spelled with big W and has one place in the item list.The other,one you found i think is spelled with little w and has another place in the item list.It means that same thing(warrior bracelet) is on 2 different places in the item list and it just seems little odd.The spelling is what place them in different places in the list,but it is the same bracelet.EDIT:I dont quit the game,its great and really epic.Hard,yes but i have played alot rpg s in many years and can say that im good on strategy so its doable but take some time.I think most of the games around has too easy fights(some bosses are hard)so its fine.EDIT 2:Im really confused now in the mines,is it a magic spade,where?is it the one with sparkles,how to move the guy in front.
Here's the BGM:

I'm going to check out the bracelet problem further!

Don't worry about the magic spade, it's nothing important, not even a side quest ;)
EDIT 2:HELP.PLEASE.1ST:IBPNGerror ( second time i try it was: IENDerror)CN xFILEObject Graphics/battlers/ghost gian png
2 nd:script sideview2 (3,3d) Line2083 :RGSSError occured failed to create bit map.The 2 messages came up in the lavaland when i found my first firething(of 3) to fight,i clicked on to start a fight. About the mines so thanks ,the sand or,"the pile of rubble "(google told me so,im from Sweden and not so good on english)here and there and in front of a red crystal is nothing to think about?EDIT:i find a file (to co2) and changed name and now it does not crash there.Maybe its ok..EDIT 3:I downloaded again but another version(without rtp)and now its ok.Dont know if any file you have is corrupted/wrong or if something went wrong with my firstdownload.


..And Mod can take away my doublepost(sorry)
CO2 is kelarly's game and not mine, therefore I feel no responsibility for bug fixing. I have no idea of what's going on with those bugs you've stumbled upon, but I'm glad it seems to work out for you.

I have a feeling that I've uploaded new links to the previous CO games before, but I can't find them so I might upload them (again?).

Could you possibly give me some screenshots on the issues to be more precise? I'm not sure if you're talking about the Red Crystal in the Coal Mines, but if are; you'll have to pull a lever in the next room to make a bridge appear to the crystal.

Don't worry, I'm also Swedish, so I understand your point. ;)
Hello.Thanks for fast answers.No om in the "Angres village an was told to catch 3 flames.The errors came when i start to fight Botain(i think) the first of 3 firespirits.But the error problem is fixed,dont have any file left for screenshot ..But now i have forget what i should do after i went back in vulcano and catch the 3 monsters.Can you please help me.,(kul ,har nog aldrig träffat på någon från Sverige i RM branchen),.I was so distracted with my errors so i completly forget where the opening is(the opening with 3 firethings infront).EDIT;find the house.I really looking forward to your next game.
Glad you got it solved and managed to proceed! You're about half way through the game now, so congrats on making it that far! ^^

Beautiful maps, and a great way to revisit and old game. The only thing I can think that would make this all that much better is to get remakes of the first two games to fix the mapping and dialogue. But until then, thanks for this great gem.
Thanks for your compliments, amerk! Did you manage to beat (and get the good ending)?

That would be awesome and is likely to happen. It would need kelarly's permission though, and he hasn't been active in quite some time.
Hopefully I can make a game page for the new project I'm currently working on soon. ^^
