Review and story-telling written by The Lore Image taken from https://lyd1a.itch.io/arias-story  Aria’s Story is an RPG Maker game. It’s story-based horror game that was inspired by the game Ib. In Ib, a young girl got lost in a museum and is in a Wonderland in the museum. In Aria’s Story, Aria is a little girl who falls asleep in a library, and when she wakes up, it’s dark and empty. The story is of her trying to escape. This game references many famous books and their stories. It glorifies the wonders of stories and the magic authors make.

Many deaths seem unfair, and the bosses cause so much frustration, but it remains popular. Why? The game is beautiful and so is its story. The graphics were stunning and on a whole new level of gothic apocalypse. The cloth on characters flows with their bodies as they movie, and the attention to detail leaves one breathless. The story, however, captures the hearts of many. While the lore isn’t completely straight-forward, and there are many speculations. The timeline is split into ages. First to be described is the Age of the Ancients. This was the era of dragons. To begin the Age of Fire, Seath the Scaleless (dragon) betrayed his kind and the dragons were no more. You will often see the remains of fallen dragons throughout the world, and will battle Seath yourself later. Seath betrayed his fellow dragons to the three who came
