MV - Entitled

Woland · 2022-01-13T01:28:36+0900

SYNOPSIS You come from Nayas - a tribe famous for its fierce warriors. You arrived in the Tabehoudai Kingdom to save it from the evil Ganomort. You defeat him. The king is relieved. The princess cheers. You're about to be announced the hero... And then you wake up. It’s your graduation day. You have no money. No roof over your head and a degree in Management that apparently isn’t even enough to get a job at the farm. Joining the Heroes Guild doesn’t seem likely anytime soon. Will you be able to break the 9 to 5 loop and become a hero? Will you rebel against the reality that seems to be designed against you? Or maybe you’ll find solace in calm repetition... Entitled might feel like any other retro-jRPG at first, but that couldn't be further from the truth. Sure, you can finish the game by defeating the evil Ganomort and rescuing the Princess. But there’s countless ways to go off the beaten path… and not one of them is obvious. The world of Entitled is a quirky mix of fantasy and real life. Modern economic themes blend with a medieval fantasy setting. One moment you’re delivering swords for the blacksmith, hoping someday you will own a sword of your own and become a proper hero. Shortly after, you pay taxes and attend lectures on supply and demand on the job market. All that to figure out what to actually do with your mediocre life. If you want to beat the game, you have to first confront your biggest enemy: the misguided notion that you’re special. FEATURES An economy that feels uncomfortably familiar. Whole hidden storylines, areas and dungeons. Hundreds of more or less obscure pop culture references. Two combat systems, even though they don't really matter. A wide range of nods to the 90s gaming. Of course the princess will turn out to be a party member, a love interest and a healer! The most realistic fishing simulation ever seen in games. IMAGES/SCREENSHOTS Spoiler STATE OF WORKS The game is live in Early Access on itch.io. A free demo is also available!

I played your game for the forum’s Web Feedback Festival.

first the latest download give this error (when diving right away) as a
demo timer showed up as well.

the older demo doesn't have the timer but runs without problems.

so far I played the game, its a bit running, story etc, but I can say WOW.
the effect between reality and dreams is so cool (I hate the tax collector (soon more)).

First of your title screen looks SOO unique, that I didn't saw before, and really nicely done.
mouse support is something I don't use, but need to get used to the menu as well.

the first battle with the bad guy looks easy till the dagger broke.
the effect used between the world and dream and a princess is really nicely done,
but finding the particular house is searching.

not sure on how to earn curiousity that people ask when searching a job,
but it is stunning game.

I cannot tell where the story goes, but when I did the little job for the Blacksmith,
I hate that tax collector stealing my money, as you force to get low money, that probably
will change the further you go into the game.

I will keep an eye and try to play as far as I can as this game looks really good,
nicely polished so far I played it.

Keep up the nice job and the effect you used, its really fitting and didn't saw it
before or at least not much.

Keep up the good work.

Thank you @ShadowDragon for your kind words and for the bug report. The bug you encountered should now be fixed.

You are the first person to comment on the title screen - I personally love how it turned out :D

As for curiosity - I will not give anything away, but it is absolutely possible to increase your curiosity in the demo. You just need to make the right choices here and there. Might take more than one run through the 15 minutes demo - there's multiple ways to play it this early on already.

And the tax collector... Well, I don't think anyone's supposed to love paying taxes :D

taxes are annoying, but while it require the right choices is probably also for "autosave"
to not simply redo it correctly (maybe some equal, or less or none) as it can play out
on other choices as well.

you did a really good job so far and it's interesting how this going to work out.
I play more when times allows it, that for sure and find out on the curiosity part
as I got on some location it wasn't high enough or even able to check your level
or points of curiosity, so I keep my eyes up.
