The NUMBER ONE GRAND PRIZE ULTIMATE WINNER of Mani's Vintage Dreams 2 competition gets its long-awaited actual release!
Novel Ruins Gaiden is a smaller, more approachable game compared to the original Journey into the Novel Ruins, more in line with a traditional Zelda structure, but with some puzzley-flair. It features a small overworld with 4 dungeons, plus a large final dungeon, and now included with the 1.12 update, a bonus dungeon, The Lunar Wonder! NRG is designed with the goal of player exploration and freedom first. Dungeons can be cleared in any order you like, and upgrades are purchasable in the starting town! Several puzzles have multiple solutions, and tricks are encouraged, you might find new ways to progress on a second playthrough! You might be able to skip a few keys if you know what you're doing...
TLDR features:
- 4 mainline dungeons + big final dungeon + bonus dungeon!
- 8x8 overworld with many secrets!
- Objectives can be performed in any order!
- An extra secret bonus boss for those who can find all hearts...
- Cool cameos from Lizzy's friends
- Play as an old fart named Wolfram!
Story
One year after the events of Journey into the Novel Ruins, Henry's great grandpa, Wolfram Johms, finds himself in a funk after being released from his ghostly prison for 50 years. To help cheer him up, Henry and his roommate, Patsy, bring him along on a trip to the Selene Mountain, a mysterious place in Colorado where strange things have been happening. Does Wolfe have it in him to go adventuring again in this strange, modern world? Play and find out...
Tips & Cheats
If you need a hint on where to go next, try talking to Patsy! She'll offer a suggestion to get you going.
The bomb bag and quiver in Spiffy's shop lets you hold 10 more every time you purchase. Getting a lotta quivers might be worth the investment!
There's several buried money spots around the mountain. If somewhere looks suspicious, try digging!
The Old Zora in the shell cave might give you something good if you give him a lot of shells...
Cheat level 4 is still enabled through the default code "4" if you find yourself stuck in a wall somehow.
If you think you've found a sequence break, cool!
