-main and side story is also different
-different game finishes
Players have total freedom in the game and can finish almost each quest in different ways.
When the player is doing evil things, the shell of the moon is breaking faster so nights become longer because the dark sun is more and more resurrected. When the dark sun is resurrected then the game ends, evil wins, so the player needs to be careful with it. The dark sun also resurrects more and more how the player goes through the story.

ADVENTURE ELEMENTS:
Exploring in the world is like in Legend of Zelda games, you have a big open world for exploring but you can't go everywhere you want right away, because you need certain gadgets,key items etc to pass different obstacles or the monsters in those areas are currently too strong. Days and nights constantly cycle, and during night everything is different - different monsters (shadows and reapers), different quests, some things in levels change so the player need to solve puzzles by going from day to night and vice versa.
Player has interaction with objects, i hope this example of a puzzle will show it :
-there are in rooms 3 pictures : picture of sun,picture of skull and picture of rainbow.
-on wall it says : I was born when i died.
-there is 9 books on table
-player can take book and place it under picture
-player need to place 1 book under picture with skull, 2 books under picture of sun, and 3 books under the picture of rainbow
-skull represents death,sun represents birth and rainbow represents life (connect this info with text on wall)
-puzzles like that will be in towns, and in dungeons and fields will be like this one mentioned bellow
-there is a big stone that casts a shadow and one door that cannot be opened. The player need to notice that how time passes, the sun is moving so the shadow moves too. The player has a gadget clock with which he can change time. You need to wait or use the clock so the shadow gets on the door so it seems that the doorway is black and then you can pass. (dark doorways = opened doors if you get what i mean).

BATTLE
- there is more then 100 monsters designed right now and each of them ask for different approach.They unite together (support with skills etc) so player need to have good set up and reflexes to kill them.There is 5 different types of monsters : Beast,Machine,Royal,Shadow and Mage. Each type have different concept , i will tell only few details for some types:
-Machine Type :
- some of them dont move until their sensor is activated
- sensor can be activated on many ways ,it depends on monster, for example with sound,if player goes through they lasers,if you shoot at them etc.
- if Machine Type monster have 0 MP their sensors dont work
-Mage Type :
- they inflict magical damage that is bigger if player have less MP
-Shadow Type :
- player can walk through Shadow Type monsters but with lower speed (that depends what is density of monster)
- they run from light
- they are created all the time during night , they come from earth,air,different objects etc
We have special system with links - for example monster that is linker give some ability to all linked monsters , for example immortality , HP restore each few seconds, some status effects etc.
- there are also ORB objects that are mostly hidden in ground so player can destroy them (he can see them) that affect player and monsters too...
-they work only while they are on screen when player is,but some of them can move also
-this is used not only in battle but in puzzles too
- for example ORB can make that player cant jump,use certain weapons,that he cant use items,Auto-Dizzy , Auto-Zombie on all monsters etc...
- so you can see that our battle is really unique for this kind of game
