ARVALE is an old Game Series series with 5 games:

[🌿🗡️] Journey of Illusion (RPG - FREE - PC)

From gardener to guardian, JOI follows the story of Duncan Forsythe, who has been chosen by 'destiny' to be the new Brave Hero of Legend... It seems like a cliche fantasy story at first, but there's much more than meets the eye.

[🏹⏳] Ocean of Time (RPG - FREE - PC)

Torn through time, OOT follows the story of the great polymath John DeMenchev, who has been blackmailed into finding artifacts that allow time travel... and subsequently ends up fighting false gods and saving the world. You get to explore Arvale once more, but this time through different periods of time!

[☀️🌙] Short Tales (RPG - Archived)

AST tells the tale of 5 different characters!

Varju The Druid, who seeks to regain his memory and save mother nature. Tabys The Assassin, who embarks on a journey of revenge and to find his long lost brother. Koden The Warrior, on a quest to save his wife and uncovers secrets about her true past. Lotus The Mage, persuing to become a magician against all odds with a powerful Fortune Teller as her mentor.

Beylord The Vampire, trying to regain his reign through violent vengence, but is halted by an old friend...

[🫂🔮] Treasure of Memories (RPG - Paid - Steam - PC)

You can watch my Let's Play of the game here!

A direct sequel to JOI! Here we are met with many familiar faces, this time assembling together as a group to embark on a new (and sadly final) adventure to uncover the secrets of a strange and corrupting material, as well as exploring many new places to learn and discover more of the world of Arvale!

Unlike the other games it uses art reminiscent of classic RPG maker graphics, but the writing and music was done by by the original legend, Jaybot7!

The game can have lag issues, but there’s a way to solve it: Open game properties → Select Compatibility Mode: Windows XP (Service Pack 3) → 16-bit colour mode → Run this program as administrator → Launch game from the program folder, play in windowed mode.

[⛏️💎] Melonchi Minecarts (Puzzle Game - No longer playable)

Taking place mostly in Melonchi, home of the dwarves and gems! Here we meet Duncan and DeMenchev again. Duncan, who experiences the consequences of his actions in Melonchi from JOI, and DeMenchev trying to test his theory about the origin of dwarves. It also introduces Grwyth, who has to brave every dwarve's worst nightmare and become the new jewel master.

Abandonware, only playable on Pocket PC.

Arvale is very dear to my heart. It inspired me as an artist and it saddens me to see this world be forgotten and succumb to internet decay. Thus I post and make art about it, to shed some attention and to show my appreciation. I also make videos about it and run the r/arvale Reddit.
