Thoughts On: Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep by Hijau2

Not bad. A lot shorter than I thought it would be. The gameplay is a mixture of KH2 and KHBBS. Graphic's amazing. The map felt big in the Castle of Dreams then it gets smaller and smaller so it's a bit underwhelming.

Even though I played it on the Japanese version, I was able to understand the story without knowing what the dialogue was, probably because of the previous Kingdom Hearts game, but it's refreshing to see a game that has the ability to tell the story through visuals rather than just exposition but I kinda find it annoying that Aqua talked to herself a lot. I'll probably find it annoying in the English version as well. The game doesn't really stand on it's own, you have to play the previous Birth by Sleep before you play this game.

The games is about 3 hours long. It plays on 4k 60fps on the PS4 pro, not sure about the base PS4. I give this game a 7/10.

Continuation from   The Cursed Cabin part IBased on the characters created by Daniel-Remo-Art
* * *
Three girls, Kyra, Natalie and Angel hiked through the tropical hills in the middle of the afternoon where the sun warmed the whole island. The three of them were covered in sweat. The leader, Kyra, moved forth, a few feet away from Angel, who was admiring the surroundings. Both of them did not have a problem hiking through the steep hill but her friend, Natalie, struggled to catch up to them. She was not fit, probably because she was one of the girls who enjoyed all the rich girly stuff or maybe is the fact that she carried the biggest backpack.
"Are we there yet?" Natalie questioned as she was catching her breath.
"Close, I think," Kyra responded.
Angel began to hum to a calm music. There was no sign of exhaustion in her, as if it was just nothing more than a walk in a park. Natalie noticed fit Angel was and at that moment, Natalie was a bit jealous of her.
"How are you not tired?" Natalie asked Angel.
"Why sho
The Cursed Cabin part I  - by Hijau2 by Daniel-Remo-Art

The girls were shock to see that they were in a different time. Maybe it was a dream but it did not made sense that they shared the same dream. Everything about the town was old fashion but it seemed like a darker side of the 1800's. The civilians could be seen but they were unclear to the girls because the distance. The girls noticed the bridge and the forest the lead from the cave, where the girls were in, to the town. There were no reason for them to explore the area but they need help and they were unable to free themselves from their bonds. Angel however, were more careful compared to her friends. As a matter of fact, she was the least shocked out of the three and was concern at her situation rather than be scared of it.

"Look!" Kyra explained as she gestured with her eyes. Natalie and Angel were unable to tell on what Kyra was indicating at since she lost the ability to point. They tried to navigate but was unable to. Kyra became from frustrated as she pointed harder with her face. "There!" she exclaimed with no patients.

Finally, Angel spotted where Kyra was pointing at. She say the cabin, at the exact same hill where they were at. This relieved and confused her at the same time. The fact that she saw the cabin implied that they had not gone anywhere too far but the town was not here before when they walked up the hill.

"G--guys? H--how did we get here?" Natalie cowardly asked as she trembled in fear.

Angel noticed a piece of paper sitting on an ancient desk. She hopped her way towards the desk. After she reached to the desk, she looked down at the paper and saw an old drawing of three girls with their hands and feet tied, looking confused. It seemed like implied the girls' situation but Angel was the type of person who did not immediately put things into conclusion. Kyra and Natalie joined Angel and looked at the drawing. Natalie was the complete opposite of Angel. She immediately though that it was the drawing of them. Angel already knew how afraid Natalie was prepared to calm her friend down.

"Oh my god!" Natalie freaked.

"Calm down," Angel said to her. "We're not really sure whether it's the drawing of us."

"How do you know?" Kyra responded. "They look like us to me." She was a bit more afraid compared to Angel but she was not nearly as scared as Natalie. "I think we're in a different time," she said with fears in here eyes.

Angel got back to the drawing along with Kyra and Natalie. They noticed a blurry but readable text below the drawing which said "Give three virgins to the gods and rain shalt be given by them." Angel noticed that there was another page. She bent down while she maintained her balance with her tied feet, bit on the edge of the page and turned it. At the second page, there was a drawing of three girls, who still have their hands and feet tied, lying on a table with their hearts removed by a hooded man. Natalie widen her eyes and began to cry out of fear. Even Kyra began to tremble even though she tried to remain calm as much as she can. Angel was still skeptical about this.

They looked up and suddenly... they were now in a forest. What happened? The girls were extremely shock and scared including Angel. It was obvious that they teleported to this place but they were still in the state of disbelief scene they had never experience anything like this before.

"Angel?! Kyra?!" Natalie panicked.

"We're still her Natalie," Angel said, using her gentle voice in the hopes that Natalie will calm down. Angel did a good job hiding her fears from her friends in order to avoid making them panic.

"W--what happened?" Kyra asked as she looked around the foggy forest.

As Angel studied the location that they were in, she realized this was the forest they were looking at from the old office. Just for the confirmation, she turned around (with a few hops) and saw the office they were in which was located on a rocky hill above. She turned to the different direction and saw the bridge that will lead the to the town which was the only was she knew of that will take them to the cabin.

Suddenly, a sound of a carriage appeared. The girls turned around and from quite a distance away, they saw a black carriage covered in thick black smoke and what made it worse is that it was driven by a man who was covered in blood. The girl began to panic. Their heart rate increased. Kyra and Natalie stood frozen without knowing what to do but Angel was too busy finding a solution to be afraid.

"This way!" Angel said to the girls as she hopped forward. Kyra and Natalie followed her.

They hopped as fast as the can. Natalie was the fastest hopper. She went pass Kyra and remain behind Angel. Because she did not know what to do, she depended to Angel to lead her. The sound of the carriage got louder and louder. The girls refused to look behind as the continued on forward. The ground they were hopping on was not as smooth as they wanted it to be which made it harder for them to maintain themselves on their feet.

Kyra accidentally tripped on a tree branch and she fell face down to the ground. "Guys!" she called for her friends. Angel and Natalie turned to her. They looked up and saw that the carriage was still far away from them. They rushed their way towards Kyra since they still had time to save her. Kyra got up to her knees. Angel and Natalie bent down and pushed Kyra with their shoulders until she was up on her feet. After they succeed, they continue on forward as the carriage got even closer to the point where the rider might able to spot them from the distance between him and the girls.

Angel spots a giant bolder they could hide behind. "Over here!" she informed her friends as she made her way there. Kyra and Natalie followed her.

The three of them hid behind the bolder. It was not good enough because of the lack of trees on where they wear hiding and the bright moonlight made it easy for them to be spotted. As the carriage got louder, it stopped. The girls listed carefully as they hear the sound of the rider stepping off of his carriage. Natalie as trembling in fear. Kyra was afraid as well but she remained calm. Angel was more curious as if a fears was put on hold. They listened carefully as the footsteps headed to their direction.

Angel took a peek and saw that the rider for the first time. Surprisingly, the rider was not as intimidated as he was supposed to be, even though he was covered in blood. It was a young boy with brown spiky hair, approximately the girls' age. Angel was thinking about going to him for help but then she had a second thought as she realized he was covered in blood. She tried to think to herself on how the blood ended up on him. Maybe he killed an animal or he helped a wounded man. Either way he did not seemed harmful one bit but then again, Angel was not the type of person who put things immediately into conclusion.

Kyra took a peek as well. She was surprised as much as Angel was. As a matter of fact, she was sexually attracted to him. Her fears were all gone. Unlike Angel, she was thinking of going up to him for help without even hesitating. Not only that she and her friends might be saved, it was pretty much a perfect time for her to appear in front of a handsome boy since she was wearing nothing but a towel on her.

"Should we go to him?" Kyra whispered.

"Are you crazy?" Angel responded. "He's covered in blood."

"He doesn't seem like a killer."

"He's covered in blood Kyra. That doesn't seem like a trustworthy person."

"I could defend myself."

"With you hands tied behind your back?"

Kyra saw that she had a good point. "Oh, right."

"What are you guys talking about? What's happening?" Natalie asked as she was the only one who was still in a fearful state.

Before they know in, the rider was already on his carriage and he drove off.

"Wait!" Kyra called out for him. He did not hear her because of the loud noise caused by the wheels of the carriage and the hooves of the running horse. Kyra chased after him by hopping rapidly.

"Kyra!" Angel called for her. She cased after her friend.

"Wait for me!" Natalie exclaimed as she was still afraid as the coward she was.

The three of them made their way as fast as they could which was conveniently leading them towards the bridge, the destination the plan to go to. Little that they knew they were being watch by three hooded men and they did not seemed nearly as friendly as the rider.

For anyone intersted in writing, screenwriting specifically, you can get tips from down below.

  1. Self-revelation, need, and desire
    This is a fairly simple step but important to get right. Failure to secure all three of these will result in not knowing which direction your story is going.
  2. Ghost and story world
    This step in scriptwriting is figuring out the protagonist’s “ghost” and “story world”. The ghost is an issue from the protagnist’s past that still haunts them, perhaps causing an internal struggle for them. The “story world” is then showing the audience  what an average day for our main character would look like.
  3. Weakness and need
    The weakness or problem is the difficulty that the hero has at the start of the story. The need is what our hero needs in order to live a better life. In a large amount of stories this is a wife/girlfriend
  4. Inciting event
    The inciting event is generally quite noticable in the film. It’s the action that breaks the hero’s “story world”. For example in the film Taken, the kidnapping of his daughter would be the inciting event.
  5. Desire
    This is what drives the story. The plot of the story is generally focused on the hero’s desire.
  6. Ally or allies
    Using an ally is a way various scriptwriters define their protagonist. Allies can come in more or less any form, whether it’s friends, peers or someone that gives advice to our hero.
  7. Opponent and/or mystery
    The opponent is fairly straight-forward. The opponent is the person with the ability to attack the hero’s weakness displayed earlier on. The mystery can also be the unseen opponent. It is also known that detective stories need a mystery as they have a lack of an enemy
  8. Fake-ally opponent
    The fake ally is a charcter in the story that appears to be an ally but ends up being an opponent in the story. For example in The Dark Knight Rises Fake-ally opponent would be Talia-Al-Ghul.
  9. First revelation and decision: Changed desire and motive
    This is often known as the first turning point in the film and is where the hero receives some new information or makes a decision that taken them in a different direction.
  10. Plan
    The plan is the hero’s means of fulfilling his/her desire. The plan doesn’t always have to go spot on, if it did it would make for a boring film. An unseen flaw in the plan or an opponent’s action could change the plan. This change should be intended to shock or surprise the audience
  11. Opponent’s plan and main counterattack
    The opponent then comes up with a plan to counteract the hero’s and stop the hero from fulfilling their desire.
  12. Drive
    The drive is the guideline of the story, the actual steps that the protagonist takes within the plan. It is very easy to simply repeat yourself for the drive so it is important to take care not to
  13. Attack by ally
    This is also fairly noticable in many films. This is the section where the hero goes awry, steers from his orginial motive or tries to short-cut to get to his desire. This is usually the section where the hero receives a slap across the face.
  14. Apparent defeat
    Apparent defeat is when the hero is about to give up. When all hope is lost, there is no way out of their predicament. It is the low point of the story where the hero is certain that the opponent will come out victorious.
  15. Second revelation and decision: Obsessive drive, changed desire and motive
    This is when the hero realises that where they went wrong and decides to give it another shot. The hero has renewed interest in their desire.Their perspective on the desire may have changed
  16. Audience revelation
    This is when the audience sees something that the hero doesn’t and learns a vital piece of information. Thi is typically when the audience learns a piece of information before the protagonist
  17. Third revelation and decision
    This is when our hero learns all they can, making them a more worthy opponent against the opponent and able to beat them.
  18. Gate, gauntlet, visit to death
    This is typically the last sacrifice the hero will have to make for their desire. The hero may also go through a final test before their battle.
  19. Battle
    The final battle between the hero and the opponent. This step is in most films made and is a chance for the writer to clearly distinguish what the hero and opponent are fighting for. This is to show who will come out on top
  20. Self-revelation
    The hero finally learns what they have been doing wrong and how to do things successfully. It is something the hero did not understand until that moment
  21. Moral decision
    This is the hero then acting on what they have just learned. The hero must make the decision to do the moral thing. This may be the hero dying a noble death
  22. New equilibrium
    This is finally everything returning to normal, similar to the “story world” shown at the start.
This structure was created by a man named John Truby. He wrote a book called 'The Anatomy of Story: 22 Steps to becoming a Master Story Teller'. You can check him out on YouTube if you're interested.
