Castle Paradox

[Setu_Firestorm]

Realm Entertainment Proudly Presents


Overview

Based upon the concepts by George R. Powell, "Angelic" takes you into the world of angels and devils in this unique fantasy vision. Immerse yourself in an otherworldly gaming experience as you take control of Death Angel Stefan in seeking a way to liberate mankind from sorrow by foolishly taking on the darkness that has plagued the world God created only to find that in his quest for answers he only finds more questions. Allow the story to unfold as you also take control as the Devil Changra who searches for a way out of his banishment and cause a rebellion against the Superior Order. The question is not who wins, but rather, the true question is which side you would take based upon the learnings you find throughout the story. While this is their story, it can also be your story.

46 megs? That's more than a meg per minute of game! Is it 100% FMV? That's the only way I can think to explain the filesize.

No, ironically there's technically more actual gameplay than in Hoshima (with its 10 minute intro cutscene).

No, this has a big filesize because of the MP3 music. Trust me, if you play the game, you will see why it would NOT have been the same without MP3 music and sound. This project needed it for atmospheric purposes.
