LanVodis
About
OVERVIEW
LanVodis is an experimental treasure-hunting and overworld navigation game made in RPG Maker 2000.
- Get (re)oriented. Learn how to make your way through the overworld without the traditional givens of RPG travel. With vision limited by distance and terrain, you'll survey the land not from above but from within. Overcome disorientation and dislocation by relying on the ground itself.
- Get intimate. Familiarize yourself with the contours of the map as you cross and re-cross its regions and take in the physical environment. Learn the distinguishing features and terrestrial pathways the earth has offered up to fashion your own mental map and find your way with ease.
- Stare at treasure maps. Obtain maps at shrines and compare them with the landscape to find the 6 ancient trees scattered across the land. Finding them all will test your growing interpretation of the shape of the world.
Estimated playtime: 90-180 minutes.
(RPG Maker 2000 games like LanVodis only run on Windows machines, but Mac users may have some luck playing them with EasyRPG Player.)
