Fantastep

“If you have courage you can sign your name on the last page of a picture”

That’s in the cover of Fantastep (aka Fantasy Tap), an adventure game released in Playstation & Saturn consoles.

The game begins when a young kid arrives at his home with a book that he buy that day, he starts to read it and he becomes sleepy, he suffers a nightmare when he was pursuit by a strange alien monster, he wake up and drop the book to the floor and when he pick up again he picks another book that is inside of it, he starts reading it and the book ask him to write his name, and as soon as he puts his name in it he is taken inside the book and appears in the fantasy world that is in the book.

When the player advance forward in the game and make a save he can read the book of his adventures in the main menu.

The game is a sort of RPG but more adventure to be honest. The actual playing areas are all in 3D connected by a 2D map. You can move freely around areas but have to use a GUI for commands in a similar fashion to Wonder Project J on the Super Famicom, to past other parts of the adventure the player will have to make some movements quickly to avoid rocks and things like that, since in this game the player can control the character’s movement and pressing the button changing to control the pointer to exam and use items.
