Este JRPG apto para toda la familia entrelaza las aventuras de una niña en busca de su padre y un rey que persigue la redención. Capturada por un malvado mago y llevada a otro mundo, la niña se alía con su elfo de juguete, ahora vivo, para acallar perros ladradores, cambiar la perspectiva de un soberano y confrontar emociones puras en un entorno fantástico. El rey Nicholas Westergaard gobierna tierras humanas asediadas por la guerra contra forasteros y revueltas internas, solo para descubrir su papel en ambas crisis.
La exploración se basa en pistas y lógica, sin mapas, misiones secundarias ni combates aleatorios. El doblaje da vida a la niña y sus enemigos, mientras que otros personajes fomentan la lectura e imaginación. Los fans hardcore de los RPG prescinden de sistemas de inventario o habilidades; familias y jugadores reflexivos disfrutan de auténticas emociones infantiles y frases que invitan a la filosofía.
Sydney's World is a family-friendly JRPG. Game focus is on the intersecting story arcs of a young girl seeking her father and a king in search of redemption.
Sydney is a real eight year old girl, not a cliche fem super-hero or cliche fem helpless victim. She behaves just as the real Sydney would, alternating between cuteness, petulance, innocence, anger, sorrow, illogical decisions, jealousy, extreme joy, etc.
When she's captured by an evil wizard and transported to another world, her toy elf Snowball is brought to life. He's Sydney's alter ego and ultimate childhood wish-fulfillment; his whole existence revolves around her. Together, they stop small dogs from barking, cause a king to reconsider his philosophy, and deal with very real emotions in a fantasy world setting.
King Nicholas Westergaard rules the human settlements of an unknown world. He's consumed with a war against another race and a rebellion within his own kingdom. In time he discovers he has caused both.
Explore new worlds without the usual multitude of boring side-quests and random encounters with identical enemies. There are no maps, mini-maps, mini-mini maps, or micro-maps; exploration is done the old-fashioned way, with clues and logic.
Sydney and villains are voice-acted to enhance engagement. Other characters are not, to encourage reading and imagination.
There is no profanity, blood/gore, sexual content...or even more damaging to young minds...lame dialogue and cheap endings!
Older, wiser players will enjoy unconventional aphorisms that might cause them to reconsider their own philosophy.
Hard-core RPG gamers should note that there is no inventory management or traits/abilities/skill point management.
