BigBlueCar 22 Posted May 8, 2015 The Cracks Children understand it better than adults. They know the path in the woods will lead to an inescapable labyrinth. They know the basement is bigger and scarier than it has any right to be. And they know that sometimes there are monsters in the darkness. Even when we grow up and learn how foolish those ideas are, sometimes we still feel it. The tingle in your neck we call deja vu. The glimpse of shadows that for a moment you were certain was some strange creature, watching you. Birdsong that for a brief heartbeat sounded like an orchestra from the forest. The truth is, the ordered world we know is an illusion. For those that choose to see will find magic and mystery, danger and delight, secret lives and struggles hiding between the cracks in reality. In The Cracks you play a transfer student just moved to the City, and it will fall upon you and a ragtag group of friends to understand and face a growing, sinister force as it emerges from the shadows. Characters You choose the look and gender of the Main Character. Their past is deliberately ambiguous, and their personality will be decided by you and your choices throughout the game. Wields: The Spark Of Rebellion With a mixture of attack, healing and support abilities the MC is a jack of all trades that can fit into any team. As the game progresses the player will be able to choose their own combat speciality. Friendly and idealistic, Marcus works at local club Aces High and is very involved in the DIY music scene in the City. Wields: The Rising Tide In the beginning of the game Marcus has a focus on healing abilities. Passionate and dedicated, if a little argumentative and bossy, Natalie is an Engineering student at the local college. Wields: The Embers Undying In the beginning of the game Natalie possesses powerful direct damage abilities. A new member of staff at the college, doing... something? Nobody is quite sure what her job is, but she has an office and spends a lot of time at the library. Wields: The Blizzard That Sweeps The World In the beginning of the game Eleanor uses abilities that inflict status effects and debuffs on enemies. There are many more characters that can be recruited either through the narrative or from side-quests. In The Cracks you must divide your time between investigating and combating the supernatural and keeping up with your commitments in the real world. Although the main story is linear, who you choose to spend time with and the side-quests you choose to do will have an effect on the narrative and your chances of survival in battle. Screenshots The only additional materials used are Victor's Engine. I intend to update this thread quite regularly with new locations, characters and developments so stay tuned! Bonus; the City is a big place, full of NPCs to interact with. To make it more interesting for me making them and as an easter egg for players, if any of you want to be in the game as an NPC let me know! Just say what their job/name/appearance/whatever should be! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
