I’m not sure any of these exist. A story centric RPG that I can play in my web browser that isn’t based on Flash. Final Fantasy or Dragon Age in your browser, or even on your iPhone.
I don’t mean an MMO. Whilst it could be interesting to see that, what I really want is one storyline (maybe with the occasional sub-quests, a la Fallout 3) that I can play through and ultimately complete the game. Then I can start it over again if like. Or not, doesn’t really matter.
I’d like actual save game files, so I can save at one point and load it again. Something that we do with PC games and console games all the time but I’ve never seen on a web based game.
The pluses for web based games are that they’re cross platform (baring a hack or two to get the Javascript to work in IE, or whatever), and run on almost every machine in existence. Nothing more to download or install whilst you’re at work on a school computer (don’t play games at school, kids).
