How do I download and play? Once I download it gives me a .rar file and that brings me to Internet Explorer when opened and I don't know how to play or access the game.
Hey there! Played, finished and recorded your game here. Rendering first episode as I'm writing it. Anyway, cool game. Map design was poor at the moment, but otherwise it was pretty good. Just, don't use so much copywrited music. It will be a pain to edit it once I get there. :) Also, last few final boss battles were quite boring. (Good path) At this point I was just casting Ultimate Motivation and Triple Attack over and over again. It would be alright if they were shorter, but instead I spend quite long time just doing that Not fine. Voice acting was a bit stiff in few places, but it's a nice touch to have game sounded like that.
Anyway, good job. Thanks for the game.
i need to know sorry if i did not do it ni the game butt i need too know
hi guys How do i get cat tale? i do not know
Thoughts
This was better than i expected it to be. it was rough in the beginning because i cannot stand when people talk like the main character does.thankfully...i it seemed to be toned down a bit later in the game.
i did not care for the battles but thankfully they were not abused to drag out the experience.
the voice acting was hit and miss.i think everyone besides kazou was fine. he just felt so lifeless/robotic.
the story direction was good at first but i was not a fan of the truth we learn at the end (dialog before the final battle)
overall
this was a okay+ game
The Bad
i wish there was a option to turn voice acting on and off.
same with sound effects. changing their volume would be nice.
not a fan of perm stat boost items that are sold.
The swears in the dialog are annoying...
after saving Yoko (during zombie attack) the conversation with her dad does not change showing her with you.
same with kazou
Toashi (white haired guy at the castle) is still there unconscious in the throne room a day later!
same with that scene. your character had time to go home and come back.
the dialog had a couple cut off text.
the boat area on the world map was never used.
during the final cut scene before the credits if you skip the dialog fast enough it ruins the scene.
you can enter the menu during the credits. which makes the screen go black.
The Good
the pacing is quick. you get a objective and do not have to go through a lot to achieve it.
once you clear a area and you want to back track. you skip areas on the world map instead of having to go through them again!
Battle escape rate is 100% (or very high)
the ending was nice
other
i wonder if there are alternate endings. since i really wouldn't play through the game again to find out.
never found out what the spring water changed
"All things living will one day die.
Will you give up and resign to that bitter end?
Or will you continue to write your own story regardless?"
Disclaimer: There is a huge amount of swearing, and profanity
Story
Once upon the end, a young boy known as Eric attempted to win the heart of his childhood crush. However, as mysterious masked person attacked the town, he began to experience an inconsistency of memories. Vowing to protect his town and discover the truth behind his doubts, he set out on a journey to isolate the attacker and defeat him without involving any more innocent citizens. In the midst of his journey, the boy noticed that he wasn't the only one who was suffering. A decision to either continue on his adventure for the sake of himself, or for the sake of the world, must be made.
There are three ending routes: Bad, Good, and Secret.
Should he choose to let people handle their problems themselves, it earns him the Bad Ending
But if he accepts that there are things greater than himself that are worth protecting, he gets the Good Ending
The boy might even destroy the five hidden evils, in which the truth is revealed through the Secret Ending
No matter the path, the boy will discover that his life wasn't as small as he originally believed, and that, in his life, there's no such thing as a coincidence.
Setting
In this world, the land we know as Pangaea began to break apart. Its inhabitants nicknamed it the Broken Islands. Ever since that incident, there was no longer one ruler, but many kings with their own territories. A king named Cronus declared his land as independent from the Broken Islands and enforced oppressive law for all of his rule. Kizuato Town, the place where Eric lives, resided in Cronus' island. Along with his town, there was also another city, a haunted forest, a mysterious tower, and, of course, Cronus' Castle. Eric must venture through all of the island to discover the truth, and, if he so chooses, save the people around him.
Characters
Eric Shin
Age: 17
Gender: Male
An Un-Eccentric and un-popular boy who lives in the same town as Yoko, Kazuo, Rina, and Chiyo. Eric has a brother, Ryan, and a sister, Olice. He occasionally trains secretly using a wooden sword. Everyday, he continues to try to obtain Yoko's (the love of his life) affection knowing he'd fail. Eric sees the world in such a negative light that he becomes overly positive with an apathetic confidence that everything will be alright if you take names and kick ass. He also likes to give sarcastic remarks whenever there's something he could make fun of. Cusses a lot.
Kazuo Shinsuke
Age: 17
Gender: Male
A Cool Guy who resides in Kizuato Town alongside Eric, Yoko, Rina, and Chiyo. His charisma with girls is off the charts. This is especially evident since even Yoko has the hots for him. He also thinks himself as better than every other guy (mostly because it's usually the truth), though he does having a caring heart underneath his cocky front.
Yoko Kishimoto
Age: 17
Gender: Female
A Blonde Magic Woman who lives in the same area as Rina, Kazuo, Chiyo, and Eric. Following the footsteps of her parents, she secretly studies magic in hopes that it'll one day become useful. She's head over heels in love with Kazuo, but doesn't hesitate when it comes to having Eric's back ever since she saw him stand up for the village after it got attacked.
Chiyo Walker
Age: 17
Gender: Female
A shy and Diffident Girl who is a new resident at Kizuato. Little is known about her other than she's soft spoken and that a man wearing a mask requires her for his plan. She appears to have a crush on Eric.
Rina
Age: 22
Gender: Female
A Gunslinger girl who seems to have experience with fighting monsters prior to the masked man incident. She accompanies Eric in hopes to finding closure to her previous journey. She is a focal point in the secret ending.

Instructions
Go crazy! But here are some steps to take:
1) Download OUTE.rar
2) In the .rar file there are two items: the installer and an audio file.
3) Extract them both and put them wherever is most convenient for you.
4) Run the installer.
5) Take the audio file and put it inside the Once Upon The End folder without opening it. (Meaning move Audio into the folder when the folder isn't open/running)
6) If there's an error about BGS not being found or something, don't worry about that, it should work fine.
7) Enjoy! If, for some reason, it doesn't run, then let me know and I'll see if I could come up with a fix!
