The Way is a freeware, indie role-playing game created by Lun Calsari on the RPG Maker 2000. It consists of six consecutive episodes, the first of which was released in 2002.The people of The Way believe that the entire world is enclosed by the Rolling Mists. The very front of the world is gradually revealed by the Mists and explored by the Forerunners, while the rear of the world is swallowed. What lies in between is the titular Way and every human being spends their life Walking the Earth, either alone or accompanied by other wanderers. Settling down is considered blasphemous and the religious order of The Guided will ensure that the people keep moving forward and live their lives the way it is intended by The Purpose.The story follows Rhue of Landorin, a young wanderer on a quest to regain a piece of his past. As the game begins, he's been searching the Way for many years already. Rhue is setting a frantic pace for himself, desperate for a simple clue that might help guide him to that which he lost so many years ago.Throughout the six episodes, Rhue travels through caves, duels in tournaments, traverses infernal realms, gets caught up in a gang war, survives a demonic outbreak, goes through a lawsuit and performs in a grand stage production.Along the way, he encounters many new people, such as the arrogant and abusive Strata, the charming and knowledgable Traziun, and the lawful and violent Slade. Very soon their journeys are overshadowed by murderous threats: A gang of bandits who call themselves the Blue Scarves attack wanderers under the leadership of a woman called Dancing Violet, and a mysterious shadow killer leaves a trail of corpses along the Way.The official website can be found here. While the downloads on the website are gone, all six parts can still be gotten on RPGMaker.net.Also, not to be confused with the film with the same title.

Anyone Can Die: The game has no problems killing important characters. Episode 5 takes it up to eleven. By the end of the series, the casualties are Lexus, Slade, Sorya, Lyrra, Cetsa, Sacrifa, Stoyko, Midian, Alan, Jopaga, Traziun in the normal ending, and even Rhue himself dies in the bad ending.

Earn Your Bad Ending: Accessing the Reaches ending – in which Rhue basically refuses to accept that Serena is dead, dies, and descends into hell – requires insane Plunge skills, as well as defeating the game's hardest boss.

In Episode 5, when you reach the snowy moutain where the Book of Sermeot is supposedly being kept, Dirk announces that he has to go make some "special snow". After the cutscene, if you walk over to the spot where Dirk relieved himself, Rhue will loudly complain about stepping in the "special snow".

Early Game Hell
 The Way (RPG Maker) (Video Game) / int_1527d90d
comment
Early Game Hell: The first two episodes can be quite miserable to slog through. Your stats are low, and there are few opportunities to raise them (with many of these opportunities being hidden in spots so obscure that you practically need a walkthrough to find them). You also don't have many skills, sword auras, or patterns, limiting what you can do in battle. The Plunge system is even worse: you have very few Blade Arts, and next to no agency in how battles go, meaning that all Plunges are either Hopeless Boss Fights (including the first three Plunges of the game) or come down to the Random Number God (especially painful in Lide). Each episode actually gets easier, as your stats increase, you unlock more abilities and stronger auras, and Plunges become more fair.

Unstable Equilibrium: Very, very much. Winning challenges or finding secrets early in the game nets you awards that boost your power forever afterwards. If you do not find these secrets or beat these challenges, you're likely to do poorly in the future.

Relationship Values
 The Way (RPG Maker) (Video Game) / int_19a781f
comment
Relationship Values: They're invisible, and most of them don't matter – some affect the dialogue, while others were created early on only to never be put to any real use. Only the following values matter: Lexus points have the biggest influence on the game: they can unlock an entirely different ending if they're high enough. Sorya points determine if you encounter the character in Episode 6 and whether they join your party. Interestingly, if you have a good enough relationship with her in Episode 4, she doesn't appear in Episode 6. Kloe points slightly influence the ending and several dialogue lines in the later episodes.

Multiple Endings
 The Way (RPG Maker) (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77
comment
Played straight in Episode 6, though. You can find a huge number of notch items, to the point where you need to grind to absorb them all. And if you want to get access to all three Multiple Endings, you may want to do that. Maxing out the level of at least one sword aura will also prove helpful in the last battles, and – according to the official walkthrough – requires at least 80 to 120 battles per aura.

Easter Egg

comment
Easter Egg: Lots and lots. Some can be found in the actual game (the twisted C.O.O.L Meeting, for example), others can only be found by opening the game with RPG maker 2000 (The Short Sketch). Philosophical messages can be found in the code of Episode 6, including some kind of weird scavenger hunt and a code in PGP.

Talking Down the Suicidal

In Episode 2, Rhue meets a suicidal man. Though you can make him see the value of living, you also have the option to goad him into jumping off the cliff... or even worse, convince him not to do it, only to push him off anyway when he hits Rhue's Berserk Button.

Empty Shell
 The Way (RPG Maker) (Video Game) / int_2cbaa888
comment
A person's body and soul are not physically connected, but their soul casts a "shadow" which is called the person's "aura". The aura contains personality, emotions and memories. It's possible to disconnect someone from their aura and absorb it: the person can survive, but they'll only be an Empty Shell afterwards.

Stat Grinding
 The Way (RPG Maker) (Video Game) / int_36736927
comment
Stat Grinding: Averted for most of the game. The number of notch items and the number of enemies in each episode are usually very balanced, so is the strength of your sword auras and of your enemies. Played straight in Episode 6, though. You can find a huge number of notch items, to the point where you need to grind to absorb them all. And if you want to get access to all three Multiple Endings, you may want to do that. Maxing out the level of at least one sword aura will also prove helpful in the last battles, and – according to the official walkthrough – requires at least 80 to 120 battles per aura.

Shadow Swords automatically absorb the aura of everyone that dies near them. Their wielder has then access to their victims' memories and can – if the sword wills it so – take on parts of their personalities. Exactly how, when or why this happens is Left Hanging.

World's Strongest Man: This is what the title of Paraphalyn signifies. Oddly, no one seems to hold the title by the time the game rolls around. Well, no one alive. Kavax is quite happy to give Rhue a shot at inheriting the title from him during Episode 6.

Bizarro Elements

comment
Bizarro Elements: The elemental system starts off quite ordinary, with physical attributes (piercing, slashing, smashing, and ripping) and elemental ones (fire, water, earth, and air). Then you get to the Oneness elements, which are based on the components of a person (flesh, blood, mind, and spirit) and the Transcendental ones, which include the normal Light and Shadow but also the vaguely-defined Cosmo and Atoma.

An Economy Is You: Averted: Rhue starts the game broke or nearly broke, never gets any more money, never does any shopping and only ever pays for (plot-mandated) things by getting other people to pay for him. Very, very rarely, you can barter goods in specific situations, but overall it's fair to say that Rhue has no impact on The Way's economy whatsoever.

Guide Dang It!
 The Way (RPG Maker) (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8
comment
Guide Dang It!: Achieving 100% Completion. There's a Point of No Return for almost every area in the game, and many chests are hidden behind secret passages. Oh, and there are a few things that require inhuman clairvoyance or a complex string of Dialogue Tree decisions to get. Have fun. Until the last chapter you don't "level" in the traditional sense nor get currency from battle – your power is determined by equipping stat items and fighting several combats to "absorb" them. In other words, if you stumble through the early chapters without a guide by the end your stats will be low, you'll be missing several special moves and there will be nothing you can do to make up for it. Oh, and the alternate "Plunge" combat system used for duels depends almost entirely on your stats; no amount of personal skill or patience can cause you to win if your stats are too low, though almost all the later Plunges are either optional or very easy.

Every Man Has His Price: Estrana is implied to be a pretty corrupt city. The Arastotzi use their connections to upgrade Rhue's citizen status several times. It's implied Rhue couldn't have done it with legitimate means. Even Dancing Violet could be freed from her prison cell by bribing enough guards with enough seru. She even asks Rhue to win the Plunge tournament to use the money and connections the win would bring him to free her. We never see if it would have worked though, since Rhue loses against Strata.

What Happened to the Mouse?: Stoyko gets killed near the end of Episode 4, and is never brought up again, and doesn't even show up in Dream Estrana like most of the characters that the Phantom Slasher has killed. The Citadels are brought up and discussed in a way that seems like they will be plot important, only to never be mentioned after your first glimpse of one. Dippy. He's never mentioned or seen unless he escapes Rhue's ownership, with the last time being while Rhue is stuck in the Pits in Episode 3. The latter three episodes never mention him, or whether or not Rhue even bothered to release him off-screen due to all the trouble he brings about.

Non-Standard Game Over

comment
Non-Standard Game Over: At one point in Episode 3, you have to swim across underwater tunnels in a cave. If you take too long, you will drown (though thankfully, the time limit is extremely generous). One specific underwater section also has strong water currents: if you don't reduce the flow by flipping two levers, the current will drag you off a waterfall and to your death.

comment
Cliffhanger: Many episodes end on a suspenseful note. Episode 1 ends with a shadowy figure, sword-wielding figure approaching Rhue in his sleep. Episode 2 ends with Rhue trying to look at Cetsa's amulet, which he thinks looks a lot like one he gave to Serena. In the process, he maims Forewoman Hill and two guards, leading to him getting arrested by Kloe while Cetsa escapes. In the end, Rhue is imprisoned and awaiting execution. Episode 3 has Kloe about to be executed by the Blood Lyn, when all of a sudden, a thunderstorm starts, and strange sounds can be heard. Episode 4 ends right before Rhue takes the plunge against Strata in the Estrana tournament. The ending to Episode 5 has Gaius reveal that Rhue is the Phantom Slasher. The episode ends immediately after this bombshell drops.

Cutscene Boss: The Plunge battles, sort of. They do have a legitimate alternate combat system, but they mean that most of the one-on-one battles between humans in the game take place outside of the normal combat system. Also, early in the game there's little you can do during the battles to really affect your odds of winning.

Hub City: As the largest settlement seen in the series, Estrana serves as the stage for many of the inter-political conflicts between the many groups and organizations that exist within The Way, and a majority of the dungeons in Episode 4 exist within the city itself. Dream Estrana in Episode 6 serves as one for the entire episode, with plenty of sidequests inside its walls to keep the player busy.

She is used as a MacGuffin in-universe as well, since the Phantom Slasher uses Rhue's memories of her for exactly the same reason – to drive him forward.

Mind Screw: Episode 6 is the worst offender, but the rest of the series is pretty confusing as well. Not only is almost nothing outside of the main character's story resolved, what little the fanbase has to work with is extraordinarily cryptic and confusing. (Expect lots of Epileptic Trees popping up.)

Trophy Wife: Scatha believes that there is no real love in the world and every man is only after beautiful women as a trophy. Strata is clearly interested in Cetsa for this very reason and hurts Lyrra deeply when she realizes this.

Character Level: Rhue's companions in Episode 6 become stronger through this system. Averted for the rest of the game. Rhue gains points in individual stats by absorbing items, while other party members stay the same for the duration of their stay with you (but usually have new skills and better stats if they show up again later).

Orwellian Retcon: Instead of having later episodes contradict information from earlier ones, Lun went back and edited the episode in question. Examples include how the headhunter in Episode 1 used be looking for Gaius instead of Jeruh, and Slade reacting a lot differently at the mention of Serena's name in Episode 5.

Take Your Time: Even in dangerous situations, you can explore as much as you want. That said, there are some situations where doing things quickly will earn you extra rewards; for example, if you make it through the Barrucha cave in less than 10 minutes, Alan will give you a Heart Stone for helping him so quickly, while taking too long will earn you nothing.

Gosh Dang It to Heck!: Played with: the characters' curse words are harmless to the player, but have a potentially offensive meaning in-universe. "Flaming Fires of Janwen!" invokes the destruction of the city of Janwen and is therefore a profanity. Shorter versions like "Sweet flaming lands!", "Lands..." and "Burn you!" are seen being used.

Toilet Humor: In Episode 4, one cutscene shows a woman and her son having an argument: she wants him to pee in a bucket, but he'd rather go outside. When Rhue and Stoyko barge into their house by mistake, little Johnny takes advantage of the commotion to run through the open door to relieve himself. In Episode 5, when you reach the snowy moutain where the Book of Sermeot is supposedly being kept, Dirk announces that he has to go make some "special snow". After the cutscene, if you walk over to the spot where Dirk relieved himself, Rhue will loudly complain about stepping in the "special snow".

Our Souls Are Different
 The Way (RPG Maker) (Video Game) / int_e294a0be
comment
Our Souls Are Different: A person's body and soul are not physically connected, but their soul casts a "shadow" which is called the person's "aura". The aura contains personality, emotions and memories. It's possible to disconnect someone from their aura and absorb it: the person can survive, but they'll only be an Empty Shell afterwards. Shadow Swords automatically absorb the aura of everyone that dies near them. Their wielder has then access to their victims' memories and can – if the sword wills it so – take on parts of their personalities. Exactly how, when or why this happens is Left Hanging. An aura can even be partially absorbed, as happens to Slade in Episode 5. He survives, though he seems even more unhinged than usual afterwards.

Gorn: Despite the 16-bit Super Nintendo RPG style graphics, there are very gruesome deaths, especially in episode 5. For starters: Heads being ripped off, the body collapsing into a bloody heap; characters being graphically impaled on stalagmites; having their faces ripped off; scalped; being ripped in half; having limbs amputated; getting ripped in half at the torso; having guts exploding out You can also see a crow graphically tearing strips of flesh from a corpse, with blood splattering all over the ground and walls.

Meaningful Rename: Very common, even in-universe. If a character chooses to start a new life and take on a new identity, they scramble the letters of their name to create a new one. Additionally, if they want to leave a dark part of their past behind, they eliminate one of the letters. If they have achieved a great new status instead, they may add a new letter to their name. See the character sheet for more examples.

Video Game Cruelty Potential: Because the main character is such a colossal Jerkass, you get plenty of opportunities to be a dick, or even worse. In Episode 2, Rhue meets a suicidal man. Though you can make him see the value of living, you also have the option to goad him into jumping off the cliff... or even worse, convince him not to do it, only to push him off anyway when he hits Rhue's Berserk Button. In a sidequest in Episode 6, you have to beat up and torture a guy for information.

Hopeless Boss Fight
 The Way (RPG Maker) (Video Game) / int_fc07d409
comment
Hopeless Boss Fight: Numerous, usually but not always Plunge battles. Most notably, the first three Plunge battles are unwinnable, and Rhue actually gives up after two strikes in the third. In Episode 4, Rhue's match against Strata in the swordfighting tournament semifinals ends with Rhue discovering that Strata isn't all bark and no bite. He is so far above your Plunge level that you have no hope of winning, with the fight automatically ending after seven passes at most. In Episode 5, Slade is called in to stop you when you try to rescue Cesta from her execution. His attacks are so powerful that you probably won't last more than three turns against him, and on the off-chance you do, he'll unleash a One-Hit KO attack to instantly end things. The one thing that stops him from killing off Rhue in the proceeding cutscene is Sacrifa's timely summoning of Hell on Earth.

Video Game Cruelty Punishment: In Episode 4, during the trip to the market, a little girl will laugh at you and call you ugly if you talk to her. You're given a variety of insults to shoot back at her, which will make her cry and piss off her mom (and considering how much of a jerkass Rhue normally is, picking these options would not be out of character for him). However, since you're on a mission to discreetly deliver a message, any option other than ignoring her and walking away will have Sorya call you out for making a scene and drawing attention towards yourself, lowering the rewards she'd normally give you.
