HorrorVale

this game was so spooky and charming it made me ♥♥♥♥ my pants with glee thank you omegaguy_101 for making that terraria music pack based on this game holy moly

TL:DR This is one of my new favorite video games of all time and I wish I played it soon. You will also wish you played it sooner. Horrorvale is what happens when you combine Lisa and Undertale into one game and then give it a Nightmare Before Christmas makeover. What you end up with is one of the funniest, most charming and content deep Indie Games on the market. The characters and the world are very enthralling and you can get sucked right in. There are over 30 different party members to find, all with (mostly) their own stories. The gameplay is a standard turn based RPG. If you've played Lisa, Classic Final Fantasy or others, you'll get right into it. Its simple to get into but until the end nothing very challenging. If you're not a fan though its not all the game has going for it. There are no random encounters on the overworld and if you slay an enemy they are permanently gone from the overworld. Meaning its mostly not a chore unlike older games. There's also a lot of puzzles and, in my 60+ hour near 100% playthrough. There were only two whole puzzles I would call foul on. Anything else is pretty decent all things considered which help break up the standard turn based battles. But the main meat here is the characters and the world. Which is one of the best I've ever experienced in the indie scene. Very charming, very funny. (Though humor is subjective) This game also acts as a major celebration of both Horror and Indie. There are many, many, MANY references to classic horror icons, modern horror icons, Internet horror icons and a few memes sprinkled about. But they distract from the big picture, they are funny but not spotlighted. They do not (outside of one specific case towards the end) take away from the really solid story either. If you remotely enjoy RPGs or anything remotely close to Earthbound or Undertale. Pick this up yesterday and play it. Its GOTY material and would've topped my list had I played it sooner. I cannot recommend it higher.

I was having a bad day when I first played this game. It took a while for me to get the menu controls, and the first Act wasn't all that fun. I concluded that I didn't like the game and got a refund. But, after watching the friend who recommended it to me in the first place, I decided to give it a shot. 170 Hours later and I can't believe I almost wrote this game off entirely. The teambuilding in this game is so much fun, and everything from the vibes to the story to the music is utterly immaculate. It is criminally unfair how obscure this game is, and I will fight tooth and nail to get more recognition for it whenever possible.

Extremely good rpg and a honest to God hidden gem. Literally the only negatives I have is that there's some minor tonal issues near the ending and some sometimes annoying gameplay segments, but it's such a tiny drop of negative in a sea of peak. Absolute cinema, ten trillion Plumcoins, I'm married to Mask Guy.

I really enjoyed my time with the game. It dragged on a little at times (Act 4,) but there's a lot here I love. The writing and character art is charming, the side quests all feel worth doing just because they're fun mini adventures, and it feels great to mix and match different party members. I'd eagerly recommend this to anyone who enjoys 'spooky' as an aesthetic, and likes rpgs, even if it isn't Halloween. Just be prepared for it to be a bit chunkier than you may expect.
