Hi Anouk.
I've not heard of Eagis specifically, but there are a lot of those styles of
games around. Personally I never felt that interested sinse to me, fighting
and exploring the environment to protect your population is much more
interesting than watching a bunch of static timers and playing who can grind
the fastest against other human players, ---- then again I'm much more a
single player sort of bod anyway.
Puppet nightmares is a browser based game, sort of like a dark and twisted
version of Pokemon.dark and slightly adult version of Pokemon.
You collect, control and breed magical creatures called soul puppets, going
through a story about a child in germany who has lost his/her brother and
finds that they were involved with a certainly very dark and magical game.
The game is slightly adult (it has for example a brothel where soul puppets
may breed and lay egs to produce new ones), and also horribly complex.
You control three puppets at once and usually fight parties of three
enemies, each can have their own actions, with different moves, diciplins
etc, in addition each has equipment, elemental weaknesses and all sorts of
other complexity.
The only really major issue with the game is that there isn't much by way of
explanitory text, the battles, though mechanically very complex all have
descriptions like "jo uses wind hammer on jane for 280 damage" and though
there are lots of npcs to talk to and do quests for, you just get their
dialogue and not the descriptions.
It's a game where though the rules and mechanics are all accessible, some of
the atmosphere is imho a bit lost. Still, it is free to play although it has
a very fare system of donation currency and is definitely one if you like
tactical turn based battling and a slightly disturbing story.
I'd recommend you look at
http://www.audiogames.net/db.php?id=Puppet+nightmares sinse the web pages
require some navigation having hotspots, mouseovers and links, although
everything in the game is labeled and accessible, it just helps to know your
screen readers' web navigation tools to speed up looking through headings,
buttons, mouseovers etc.
Hth.
All the best,
Dark.

Hi, I have never heard of puppet nightmares, what is that?
Aegis (it used to be called differently in the past i forgot its original
title) is a sort of empire building game where you start with a small
piece of land and you have to make more of it while feeding your
population/keeping it happy and defending your lands. It works with
resources and you build buildings in order to creat them and for example
to be able to get different kind of trained soldiers. You also build
things like walls to defend your land. You can become part of a clan.
I am not sure if it is even around anymore a quick google search does not
seem to bring up the relevant page.

Hi Anouk.
What is Aegis? I thought I knew and had played most browser rpgs, though
I don't recognize that one.
I agree with you about KoL, I got a little sick of needing to use the
wiki so much, I also didn't like the fact that once the donation item was
gone for a month, ---- well tough luck! I don't mind games with a monthly
subscription if the game is good, or with items available to buy, but it
actually seemed quite a wasteful bit of game design to go to the trouble
of programming new items with interesting effects and often access to new
areas then only offer them once. Quite different from Puppet nightmares
and the way that game recycles it's monthly items.
All the best,
Dark.
There is always more to know, more to see, more to learn. The world is
vast and wondrous strange and there are more things benieth the stars
than even the archmaesters of the citadel can dream.

Hi,
I played KoL too years ago but the puzzles just seemed too random. The
only online rpg that i have played for a really long time has been aegis
and perhaps sryth.
The game i could not remember in my last mail is of course astro galaxy.

Hi Emily.
I enjoyed KoL, but I found that the turn limit, not to mention
irrationality of the puzzles was a real pest sometimes, indeed I played
very seriously for a couple of months and spent quite a bit of money
getting some fun items, but I just found it too hard to log in each day
to play a turtle tamer or seal clubber or whatever in a random kingdom
of drunken hippies and the like. I wanted something a little more
serious and meaningful, and something I didn't feel I needed the wiki
so often for.
All the best,
Dark.
