One of my favortie games of all time.

World, Setting, and Story: You're a shaper (magical sorcerer people who can create life from humaniods to drakes to raptors) about to be some apprentice when ship gets attacked and dies with you on a quarintined island. You find huminoid creations that your ancestors left behind have built 3 separte sects with different philosophies, and that there are human invaders (not your people) on this forbidden island. Learn the secrets on why the island was barred and fight to survive (or use diplomacy). This game has more possible endings than a top rate visual novel.

Gameplay and mechanics: excellent leveling system. boost stats with points earned from level up. level from completing quests, killing things, and unlocking things. use magic, use physical combat, use your creations, it's up to you. combat involves an action point system. It's turn based, but you have action points to limit what you can do. Move, use an item, or attack. Your creations that follow you also get their own turn (and really, who doesn't want a pet raptor).

Buy it. It was good enough for several sequels.
