Arvale: Treasure of Memories, Ep. 1

Duncan Forsythe, son of Druncan Forsythe, is the royal gardener of Entoque Castle. He spends his days battling nasty flower beds, hunting down poisonous weeds, and occasionally doing his Royal Majestys laundry . . . meanwhile, the buzz around the castle is that Duncan once saved the world. This is news to Duncan. He cant remember a thing that happened over the last few years. He definitely doesnt remember saving the world. Unfortunately, he may have to--lest the world get thrown into turmoil yet again. Dark forces are rising, and the key to defeating them lies in Duncans memory--the memory that is now scattered throughout the world of Arvale. Take him on an epic quest to retrieve those memories and thwart certain doom for the entire world, all the while battling monsters, exploring dungeons, challenging dragons, rescuing fair maidens, gathering friends and foes, and--it wouldnt be an Arvale adventure without this--talking with wheelbarrows.

Youll get to: Equip your character with ever-cooler weapons, including swords, spears, whips and maces; Wield magic spells against your enemies, ranging from fire, ice and lightning spells to the stranger and more intriguing Temptation Song and Thunder Sword; Battle evil beasts of all kinds, from tiny rats and bats to werewolves, demons, and ogres; Interact with hundreds of non-player characters to learn more about the world and give you some entertainment along your way--a lot of those NPCs are pretty damn funny; Laugh a lot--Arvale has become known for its fun, hilarious dialogue, and this addition to the series is no exception; Watch original cutscenes that unveil your characters story.
