Flatworld

Flatworld is a charming indie JRPG that punches well above its weight for a solo-developed project — the Zelda-style dungeons and puzzles kept me engaged throughout, and the humor lands more often than not with its mix of anime references and internet jokes. The characters, especially Hikari, have real personality, and the story does a decent job of keeping you curious about what comes next. That said, some gameplay quirks are worth noting: you can't skip cutscenes, puzzles occasionally reset if you leave an area, and combat feels a bit clunky since you're locked to attacking in the direction you're facing. The first chapter runs about 4-5 hours, and knowing future episodes are free makes the asking price feel very fair. If you enjoy classic JRPGs or grew up on Zelda, this is absolutely worth picking up — especially now before the price goes up with each new episode.
