Ultima VII: The Black Gate (1992) is one of the earliest and most influential 2D sandbox RPGs, featuring an almost fully interactive world where nearly every object can be picked up, used, or manipulated.

"Is Dreamweb an intensely private tale of the battle for cosmic balance, or an uncomfortable interactive ride along one man’s personal unravelling?"

Made a mockup for a menu to see what would look good. So far this seems pretty good to me.
Also still no idea on a name for this game besides TDF.

STOP THE PRESSES.
The ROM for the unreleased Famicom RPG Splatter World has been released (in a thread on 4chan, of all places). I've tried it myself, and it does seem to be genuine. If it's a fake, it's a damn good one.
Expect (more) coverage on West Mansion soon.

There's no way to see to it in the game because of how the starting conversations are scripted, but Ultima VII actually had a line for Petre for if you talk to him before Iolo has had a chance to introduce you.
