It seems very similar to Alter Aeon; both take place in a mystical land, set sometime around the middle ages. Once again, you pick a race, name, age, and gender. Directly after, I went through some sort of a training course. Hingar, and elderly scholar, teaches me how to examine objects that I find on my quests. The example given is a table. I can smell, taste, look at, examine, feel, listen to, or equip that item. When I curiously typed "taste table", I was told that "the table tastes of sugar water, perhaps some was spilt on it."
Soon after, I went East to meet Borg, and orc. His job is to teach me how to fight. He brought out a helpless goblin, and told me to kill it! Now, I had no idea what offenses this goblin had commited, but not wanting to show any signs of sympathy, I typed "kill goblin". The intense fight scene went something like this, (edited down for your enjoyment):
You missed
Pathetic goblin battered your leg
You missed
Pathetic goblin pummeled your body
You missed
Pathetic goblin missed
You pounded pathetic goblin's head heartlessly
Borg cheers you on
The goblin fights pathetically
Your club seems to thirst for more of Pathetic goblin's blood!
You missed
Pathetic goblin missed
You killed pathetic goblin
PRETTY EXCITING FIGHT, RIGHT?!!? I was on the edge of my seat the whole time.
