Deus Ex Machina: A Xenogears Tale
DeM is unique among Xenogears IFs in that, instead of having its players apply for existing characters, it set up a substitution system that allowed us to create original characters to replace the ones in the game. So, as you will see below, we have Queen Cyrene instead of Zephyr, who rules Shevat and has a similar history, yet is a completely different person. And so on. This allowed us a lot more freedom with the storyline, and I think it's what allowed the game to live so long, too. Although we follow the overreaching plot of Xenogears, the path to Deus is written in a completely new way.
This game is now closed, but our archive is still up and running as far as I know, and can be reached at http://dem.leamonde.net - and anything not there can be found on the old site. We put a lot of work into this game, so I hope you enjoy the story.
