Muffles' Life Sentence

really good. the gameplay is easy to familiarize yourself with, i love the puzzle/storyline of it all. im curious if im missed things in chapter one. i may continue and purchase the other chapters. i recommend this if you like light card games, characters, and good story based games with basic puzzles.

incredibly underrated game i love it

Although I recommend this game overall I do have some caveats. The biggest is the plot, it starts fairly simple enough (although completely bonkers in the best way) but I feel like around episode 3 or 4 it started getting a bit out of control and overly complicated, and I say that as a huge Kingdom Hearts fan. The other caveat is later in the episodes there are some frustrating level design choices and gimmicks for sections that felt tacked on or tedious (a couple of the puzzles, trial and error dark section in E5, not being able to see how to complete two different parts in E5, etc.). BUT all that being said, this has gotta be one of the most creative, funny, and fun games I've played in 2025-2026. Despite my criticisms I think this is a great game and I'm super excited for whatever Bossy does next. Long live Dee!

just finished this game and i think it is probably one of the best story games ive ever played the combat is fun the story is great and the characters are probably the best part easily recommend

Really enjoyed this game. I initially bought it when it was per episode but I think it's great that it's all one thing now because it ruuuules and you will not just want to buy the first chapter and leave it there. I'm not usually a deckbuilder person but I enjoyed the story and world so much that I got over it and ended up with a pretty sweet build. Charming game! I recommend!

This game has incredible storytelling and style, and a lot of humor. It's a shame it has so few reviews on Steam, though I suspect releasing each episode independently (originally) may have broken up several of the reviews to those other chapters. TLDR; Far from 'another RPGmaker game'. Muffles Life Sentence, especially the combat, won't be for everyone, but it's worth your attention. It's clear a lot of work went into the battle system, and I enjoy making decks, however, the card selection feels quite limited. When unlocking a new 'set' you only get three cards, which isn't quite enough to make a deck specializing in whatever new mechanic or feature provided. I typically have to wait to unlock a couple more cards before being able to specialize a deck. So far I keep using the crutch of Killer Crocs deck and dishing out as much damage as quickly as possible. Since you fully heal after each fight, the best defense truly is offense. The gun cards I got in mid Chapter 2 looks like they will synergize quite well with some cards I have, but I need much more Brain Size to really get a good build going, Despite those gripes; the battles are all incredibly unique, and those are mostly about boss fights, not random encounters, meaning you can soak in everything else on the way. This *also* means that some of these fights are incredibly challenging, and might block less experienced players from progressing. Honestly, if I would recommend something to the dev, a 'story difficulty' might be worth adding so that people who don't jive with the combat can still see Muffles entire adventure.

Cheeky little RPG game about the prison industrial complex and how it strips people of their individuality and identity. A good 20 or so hours of playtime, each chapter lasting 3-4 hours. A lot of that time is spent doing puzzles and searching for collectibles and whatnot. PROS: Decent music Unique, good art direction Likeable characters Decent worldbuilding and story Lots of achievements and collectibles if you're into that Exploration with unique abilities CONS: Combat is repetitive and easy, deckbuulder aspect is pretty meh, most new cards you get are kind of there for novelty and the game heavily relies on the guard mechanic, which makes most cards kind of obsolete. The most difficulty you'll see is fighting Nightmares and the last two episodes but still not much to speak of Lots of flashing lights and effects, as far as I looked there's no way to really turn this off and they're pretty eye straining, if you're photosensitive this game might not be good for you Really easy puzzles Overall, good game. Solid 8-9/10, in my opinion. Just don't expect a lot of strategy and difficulty in the gameplay.
