Our take on Linked Worlds

Players who want to explore without tracking time may hit a wall once movement and actions advance the clock. That system affects quests, monster behavior, events, and shop hours, so decisions about when to act are part of the journey.

What is Linked Worlds?

Linked Worlds is a JRPG set on the continent of Cestina, where Albus must stop the Dark Beast before it regains its full power.

Battles use grid-based movement, and players can learn and equip or unequip 100 abilities to shape their approach. Time advances as Albus walks or takes actions such as sleeping and fishing. It also affects events, quests, monster behavior, and shop hours. NPCs respond to time passing and to Albus’s actions; helping them can alter or save their lives. Quests reward rare items and weapons. Optional areas and enemies include super bosses.

How Linked Worlds plays

01Time-based world: The in-game clock progresses through movement and actions such as sleeping or fishing, affecting events, quests, monsters, and shop hours.
02NPC reactions: Characters respond to elapsed time and Albus’s actions, and helping them can change or save their lives.
03Optional challenges: Exploration can lead to optional locations, enemies, and super bosses.
04Quest rewards: Completing quests can earn rare items and weapons.
