Legend of Door ~Gale Wings~
A downloadable game for Windows
Legend of Door ~Gale Wings~ (扉の伝説～風のつばさ～, Tobira no Densetsu ~Kaze no Tsubasa~) is a free JRPG primarily developed by Denjirou Jr. After four years of development and several updates, the final version, here translated, was published in 2007.
Synopsis
This is a story set in a certain world without a name.
In the remote village of Kast, home to many who have fled from their pasts, fifteen-year-old Lucia Maverick stands before her father's grave, ready to tell him the news. As a fresh semi-adult, she is determined to quit her job as a housemaid and become an adventurer or a royal guard, in the hopes of securing enough money to pay for the treatment of her ill younger sister, Anna. However, unbeknownst to her, an ancient terror has begun to stir from its slumber, threatening to engulf everything in darkness once again and for all.
It all began with a small promise... Lucia did not yet know that her journey would be long and full of stories. How many will you be able to encounter?
Legend of Door is the second game developed by the circle Door. Despite being a free game, it's a particularly famous work due to its massive volume (easily exceeding 100 hours to complete), the difficulty of its battles, its engaging storyline, and the number of distinctive characters present throughout it (over 40 characters can join your party).
While considered a cult classic in Japan, it has remained relatively unknown outside its home country. But with this translation, a new door has been opened. Will you go inside?
Guides

A helpful, spoiler-light guide adapted from the japanese wiki. It fills in some gaps while leaving room for exploration, but even if you don't want to use a guide, we recommend that you at least read the True Ending checklist so you don't accidentally miss it out.
A PDF version of this guide is also included in the download files, in case you want to access this document offline.
- Maps & Info (Condensed Guide)
A quick spoiler-free-ish reference document containing maps and miscellaneous notes (to be used as reference when you forget where something is).
Warnings
Strong language, pixel blood, drugs, alcohol abuse, and suggestive/sexual themes.

Install instructions
In order to play this game, you must unzip the contents.
- Download the game.
- Unzip the contents.
- Right-click on the downloaded file.
- Find and click on the Extract option.
- Choose Extract files...
- Select the destination folder where you want to extract the files.
- After unzipping the game:
- Navigate to the folder where you extracted the contents.
Here, you will find an executable named EasyRPG Player-ff (8.1).exe, as well as a folder named Tobiden, which contains the game's files.
EasyRPG is a more modern, free, and open source alternative to run RPG Maker 2000/2003 games. It also offers an option to fast-forward by pressing and holding "F" (which makes the game run at x3 the speed), or "G" (which makes the game run at x10 the speed). However, there have been reports of problems with MIDI playback. If you experience any issues, we recommend using the original executable instead.
Playing on Windows
To play the game, simply run EasyRPG Player-ff (8.1) and then select the entry named Tobiden from within the application. Alternatively, if you experience any issues, you can open the Tobiden folder in your file explorer and run the executable RPG_RT.exe inside.
Playing on Other OS (Linux, Mac, Android)
There are multiple projects that allow users to run RPG Maker games on other operating systems, including EasyRPG (which provides Linux binaries). You may attempt to run this game with these programs, but keep in mind that it might not run without issues. Missing audio or images are a common occurrence, and playing certain media files (such as movies) is among the most notable examples of what may cause game crashes in these environments. Furthermore, since this game does include such files, we cannot guarantee that your program will not crash or break if you attempt to run it using these alternatives. Therefore, please keep in mind that we can only provide troubleshooting support for Windows, since it is the only environment that we have fully tested to ensure the game works properly.
If you would still like to try playing this game with these programs, you can download the alternate version offered in this page (Movie-less Version), which may offer better support. However, we still cannot guarantee that it will work, nor can we offer support if you run into any problems, since no one on the team currently uses these systems.
Thank you for your understanding.

Wow I've dreamed of playing this game for years. Thank you thank you thank you!
How extensive are the suggestive/sexual themes? I was wondering if this would be safe to stream on Twitch.
Nothing much, really. There’s two suggestive CGs (probably the “””“worst”””” things in the whole game in regard to “suggestive” content, please note the quotation marks) containing what you’d expect from basically any early 2k japanese game.
Spoilers
A mild panty shot CG (unavoidable, story event), and a spring bath CG with a girl covering herself with a towel (avoidable to an extent, you could just choose not to take a bath).Everything else falling under the “sexual themes” umbrella is basically conveyed through text, and it’s not explicit, either. Essentially (and trying not to spoil much here), it’s stuff like mentions of character X fiddling the diddle with character Y without going into any detail, and then left at that.
To be fair, people have played games with far more suggestive images and text on twitch before (this is fairly innocent all things considered). I personally think it should be fine, but I’m not really an authority, so take this as merely a personal opinion from the person running the account at the moment.
Thank you very much! That's more than enough detail for me, I agree that it sounds fine to stream.
it's out!! (please message me via discord at @wendeego if you'd like to chat about how you translated this beast)
I was wanting a chance to play this! Thank you for the TL.
