Mystic Ark

The story centers around a fighter who was captured by an unknown force, turned into a wooden statue and taken to a creepy room in a palace-like manor that only recently materialized on a desert island. When he or she (playable by the hero Remeer or the heroine Ferris) wakes up to a creepy voice, he looks around and sees that there are similar statues all over the room, some of which are his battle buddies and he must free them from the curse so they can help him. Mystic Ark is not your average RPG. It's old-school, but has more depth than a "hero-saves-the-world" plot.
