The Way - Episode 1: The Land Beneath The Sky

[Pater Alf]

A standard RPGMaker game about a young boy in search for adventure and his one true love.

"The Way follows the story of Rhue of Landorin, a young wanderer on a quest to regain a piece of his past. He's been searching the Way for many years already as Episode 1 begins. With his hopes diminishing further and further each day, he is setting a frantic pace for himself, desperate for a simple clue that might help guide him to that which he lost so many years ago. However, his situation and that of many others is about to become quite deadly as a shadow killer begins a murderous spree of destruction along the Way. " (taken from the official homepage)

Doesn't sound that spectacular, but the game became quite popular and from what you can read in comments around the net, it seems to be one of the better RPGMaker games. So far there are six episodes out (I'm not sure if there are more planned).

Oh no, not another RPGMaker game...

[Pater Alf]

Does the tool the game is made with say anything about its quality?

[eMTe]

No, but there are times in life of every human when you just have enough.

I actually got there with everything adventure-genred a while ago, so just having an issue with a gametool seems like only a small problem. At some point you will end up playing something fantastic done with RPGmaker and will get right back up on the horse (should you now say something like "nothing good will ever again come from the RPGmaker tool", then I will remind you of the saying with gorillas, typewriters and shakespeare).
