- The Goblin Gazette: Lotia Game Review - 1 December 2017
Please feel free to check out this review at The Goblin Gazette! Lotia Review When I was asked to review Lotia for The Goblin Gazette, I was very excited! I’ve not had the opportunity to reviewed a lengthy RPG yet. After logging about a dozen hours of gameplay of Crayon Ponyfish’s Lotia, I can say that this was an enjoyable RPG to review. Designed with the help of RPG Maker, Lotia is a JRPG styled, turn based RPG set in the oceans of Lotia. Premise In Lotia, players follow the story of Reef O’Meara, a smuggler determined to free their society from the Dominion’s enslavement. Reef is a “dreamer,” an individual convinced Lotia is not their home. But rather some sort of mirage that is no less real to its inhabitants. Simple smuggling leads to a pursuit in hopes of overthrowing the oppressive “Dominion”. Along the way, Reef meets characters who join his crew in hopes of defeating the Domini…

- What is Lotia? - 29 June 2017
Above all, this game has a story to be told, with you, the player, interacting with the world in which the story takes place. You play on behalf of a party of acquaintances who can no longer tolerate the insidious and dangerous changes to what their world has become. If you like to read fiction and like immersive RPG’s, then this game may appeal to you. While the story progression itself is fairly linear, it will be the player’s job to learn the skills and arts singular to this world in order to equip the party for success so that the story may advance. The local story is told through the play and interactions of the party, while the bigger picture is subtly revealed in significant bits within tomes of knowledge which were scattered around the world in an attempt to get locals to start paying attention to an ongoing catastrophic war that they do not even realize that they are losing. Pe…
