MediaWorks’ 1995 PC Engine game AnEarth Fantasy Stories got a straightforward Saturn port in March 1997.
A role-playing game focused more on exploration and puzzle solving than combat, it begins with the player abandoned as a baby on the steps of a church. Four groups of people walk by, one at a time. Pressing the C button at any time makes the baby cry and attracts whatever group is on-screen. That group will then raise you, as either a thief, wizard, swordsman, or monk, as you begin your adventure.
Colorful 2D visuals, lots of spoken dialogue, and plenty of detailed touches here and there make this an interesting experience. This is the first of a planned trilogy, however, no sequel was ever made.
