Cute art style for the game, which I think is what you're going for. Seems like it might be a fun, lighthearted adventure.

What is the genre of this game? Puzzle?

It features some puzzles but is largely action, humor, and exploration.

That's TheoAllen's Animated Battleback script, but I can't seem to find it online anymore. :kaoswt2:

EDIT: Nvm, it's here on his github!

Oh it's so pretty! Funny enough I started work on a more silly ish rpg, kinda like earthbound I guess where it's gonna be silly and weird, maybe a few joke about the rpg genre.

But the artwork is so nice to look at. I'm willing to bet you will charge for it yes? If so any idea yet on that price?

The demo will be 100% Free.
As for the full game, there's nothing to announce yet, but I can't imagine it would be anymore than 10 bucks. When the game is closer to completion we'll announce the specifics.

This definitely looks like a lot of fun. I like the artstyle. Music is legit AF.

I like games that use humor effectively, but I would warn against leaning too heavy into meme territory. Other than that, game looks like it'll be a fun romp!

I played through the demo yesterday and it was really fun. The art and music are insanely good. The puzzles are fun and intuitive and aren't overly difficult. The mapping is solid and unique. The skills are fun and make sense for the setting and the mechanic for Jekyll is fun as well.

Honestly, I can't wait for more. PLAY THIS GAME.
