''Naufragar: Crimson'' is an UsefulNotes/RPGMaker 2003 game developed by [=Legacy001=]. It's supposed to be the first of the Naufragar series, but the sequels were never finished.

The king of Oragibe ropes two Anethan bishops into helping with the war effort against Acir-ema, but this forces them to do something they regret. The POV cuts to Kyo, a member of a crew of mercenaries. As he tries to recover his captain's lost antique coin, he finds himself involved in the Anethan church and the Kingdom of Oragibe's conspiracy.

* TheBadGuyWins: [[spoiler:Hyo succeeds in killing Athena and gaining the ability to move independently of Kyo.]]
* BigBad: Hyo is the main antagonist of the game, since he is manipulating the party into gathering coins for him [[spoiler:had seeks to kill Athena to absorb her life force. He claims he is responsible for the boss monsters the party encounters by using the power of the coins to revive them. He is also implied to have connections with the Kingdom of Oragibe, since he instructed Naitsabes to kidnap Jarret's sister.]]

* EnemyWithout: [[spoiler:Hyo and Kyo originally shared a body, but after killing Athena and stealing her life energy, Hyo leaves Kyo's body.]]
* EvilFormerFriend: Hyo used to be a friend of several Anethan church members, including Athena, Deliaf, and Elbram. [[spoiler:An experiment gone wrong turns him into a sociopath who is only concerned with extending his life, and now he only sees his friends as obstacles and pawns.]]
* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler:The king of Oragibe is the reason Hyo went through the deadly experiment and turned evil. He is also implied to be working alongside or even commanding Hyo, since the latter has connections to a squad of corrupt Oragibe knights.]]
* HydePlaysJekyll: This isn't immediately obvious because [[spoiler:the game makes it seem like Hyo is only in control when the text is red, but he has actually been posing as Kyo since the latter almost drowned in Triptophia River.]]
* LeonineContract: The king of Oragibe promises to help the city of Anetha out of their poverty if Bishops Deliaf and Elbram help him create supersoldiers to win the war against Acir-ema.
* ManipulativeBastard: Hyo plays the entire party like a fiddle to get them to find coins for him and help him extend his lifespan.
** When Lance discovers his adopted father Luhar is dead, [[spoiler:Hyo promises to revive the latter if Lance kills Athena.]]
** He instructs [[spoiler:Oragibe knights to kidnap Jarret's sister Retsi in order to make Jarret more likely to join the party in their journey to Oragibe.]]
** His greatest example of this is [[spoiler:pretending to be Kyo in order to get Athena and Jarret to trust Lance, making it easier for lance to attempt to kill Athena.]]
* MaskOfSanity. [[spoiler:Hyo is normally good at [[MasterActor impersonating]] Kyo's mild-mannered personality and manages to fool Jarret, who is a close friend of Kyo. However, he's [[AxCrazy murderously insane]] underneath the act and at one point threatens a man who seemed like he knew Anastasia.]]
* NewGamePlus: If the player completes enough sidequests and opens enough chests, they can start a new run and carry over stats and non-key items. However, not everything is carried over, such as AP, item capacity, and money capacity.
* PermanentlyMissableContent: The Jaded Woodland and Indigo Caverns cannot be revisited after the story progresses, meaning the player only has one chance to get all the treasure in those dungeons. The river obstacle course minigame in Triptophia River also only gives the player one chance to get all the treasure.
* PowerCopying: Athena can copy certain enemy skills by using the Siphon command. However, the chance of successfully copying a skill is random, though the AP system can be used to increase her chances.
* RainbowSpeak: Kyo's dialogue text turns red to indicate [[spoiler:that Hyo is in control, or so it seems. In reality, Hyo has been in control since Kyo fell into Triptophia River or even possible before that. The red text indicates when his voice sounds different and his acting falters]].
* RegretfulTraitor: [[spoiler:Hyo promises Lance that he'll revive the latter's adopted father Luhar, but only if Lance kills Athena. Lance attempts to do so by leaving Athena to die in battle against an ice dragon. The next time he's seen, he regrets his actions and decides to turn against Hyo.]]
* RewatchBonus: At the end of a playthrough, the game's dialogue box states that some plot points become easier to understand in a NewGamePlus run, [[spoiler:namely that Hyo has been impersonating Kyo for most of the game and not just when his text is red]].

When Athena calls him out on hurting others for his own benefit, Hyo states that he lost the ability to care about other people's emotions. Despite this, he is good at faking kindness [[spoiler:as he impersonates Kyo's personality to manipulate the party.]]
* VillainProtagonist: [[spoiler:After Triptophia River, the player is essentially controlling Hyo possessing Kyo and is subtly manipulating the rest of the party members into helping him find ancient coins and kill Athena. Only when Hyo gains the power to leave Kyo's body does the player get to properly control Kyo again.]]
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: A military experiment turned Hyo into an immensely powerful mage, but at the cost of his sanity and conscience. This, combined with his now limited lifespan, makes him willing to kill anyone in order to gain more coins and find other ways to extend his life.
* ZeroEffortBoss: Rather than make the player fight an [[HopelessBossFight unbeatable opponent]], the game makes them play as [[spoiler:Hyo fighting Jarret and Lance. Hyo has access to the strongest spells in the game and has massive stats, meaning Jarret and Lance can't hope to win unless the player just lets the ATB run without doing anything.]]
