As a professional in the world of game development, I've always marveled at what some doujin circles have been able to accomplish. EasyGameStation is a truly remarkable group, and Chantelise achieves a level of quality that puts most of my professional endeavors to shame. This gem of an action adventure game was mostly put together by the 3 members of EGS:
BS Muracha - Level design, sprites
Thorray - Programmer
Saiku Jun - Character design, illustration, 3D modeling and animation
Chantelise seems like a remarkably ambitious project for EasyGameStation; this is the first EGS game to feature the circle's original characters and plotline. EGS has been melding sprite animated characters on 3D polygonal backgrounds for quite some time with their previous releases. Compared to Duo Princess, one of EGS' earlier releases, Chantelise features larger sprites, higher resolution textures, and noticeably more responsive controls. The scope of the game is pretty huge too. Expect to spend at least twenty hours on your first play through, plus some time to go back and get any extras you missed.
The story starts off as a tale of two sisters. Their mother had always warned them never to go outside on nights when the moon is red, or else they'll be cursed by a witch. As if possessed by a force greater than herself, Chante ventures out into the forest on a night the red moon is redder than it's ever been. Worried sick about her big sister, Elise goes after Chante. The next morning, the two wake up in the middle of the forest, with something markedly different about Chante; she's been transformed into a little fairy! Elise grabs a sword and the two head out for a small village nestled amongst ancient ruins. Word has it that somewhere amidst all these ruins is a witch. Is it the one who put the curse upon Chante?
