Nepenthe

I really wanted to like this game, I really did. Unfortunately the game is a huge disapointment. First I would like to get the good out of the way. I like the games art style. The hand drawn is very charming and I believe it adds to the games humor as well. The humor is fine for what it is, some jokes are hit or miss. I thought the world was kinda neat as well. It was humans living together with other creatures of sort. The gameplay is also neat, you can either have the choice of traditional turn based combat or have the combat be like Undertale/Paper Mario. I reccommend going with the 2nd choice for a challenge. The soundtrack mostly consists of creative common music but it's pretty nice for what it is. The wort part of the game for me was the story. Don't get me wrong, it starts off really well and I do how like how it progresses. In the story you play as a human who is tasked with getting a message across and to stop an oncoming apocalypse. The worst part of the story for me is the endings. Two of them are not good and the other one either doesn't exist or is too cryptic to find. Both endings I got involve [spoiler] the destruction of the world, except one just has you and another character surviving and looking at a white orb [/spoiler]. There doesn't seem to be an underlying meaning anywhere in the game where something like this will happen, let alone a hint of foreshadowing. Even then it's not even subtle. For this reason, I also think the game is really shallow and can be beaten real freaking quickly. I got nothing against short games, and most of my hours come from me replaying the game trying to find the other endings. But replay value does not save this game from its disappointing endings and non-existent one. It's also worth noting that the achievements do not work on mac computers. Also the message that appears in the background of the banner in your steam library means absolutely nothing and feels like a dumb jab at games that break the fourth wall like Undertale and OneShot. It does not contribute anything to gameplay or story. Heck I can't even find the meaning of the message within the games files as it suggested. Overall, I cannot recommend this game to anyone unless you are desperately trying to find a quirky game to play or just looking to add to your RPG collection. It's not a bad game by any means, it just feels all style and no substance and this is why I can't recommend it.

I like this kind games. I am a fan of Undertale. But for this game, umm.. just no. The only good thing about this game everything you see in this game is hand drawing. Combat system is very easy and this is making every fight is boring. Because there is no competition between you and your enemy. I was have no connection between the characters. Because the game didn't give us much about story and the characters. I wish there were more interesting stories and characters. Like i said only positive thing in this game hand drawing, nothing more than this. See ya.

这是个挺有意思的游戏。前提是你能看懂游戏各处的各种冷笑话。嗯。 如果你很喜欢像是undertale这样的游戏的话我很推荐买。前提是你能看懂游戏各处的各种冷笑话。

I don't do reviews very often but this game deserves a little boost! it's pretty short but every detail is really packed with personality, and there's a few big choices that make it worth replaying a few times to see everything. the art style is probably not everyone's cup of tea but it certainly stands apart, and the battle system is a pretty good take on undertale's system with some memorable patterns. if you're in the market for short weird rpgs this one is absolutely worth a try!

很好玩，I need Chinese

Funky little game with interesting graphics/music and a neat story. It's very reminiscent of undertale. I managed to complete all the endings in only a few hours, but still definitely worth the five bucks. By the way, check the system requirements out, you won't be disappointed.

TLDR: Saw the charm and the system requirements, bought it. A little slow and needs work but great game. Long version: There are a few things I have to say about this game and I hope the developer does not take this the wrong way and learns from this: --Spoilers possibly-- Cons 1. Firstly, movement is awkward and the game overall (so far) has been a little slow. Not in terms of story but actually slow. 2. The peaceful route when it comes to combat is pretty slow. It's funny at first but doing the same thing for like 10 times gets boring. 3. The game is a little too uninspired. Don't get me wrong, the writing is witty and funny but game play, plot, etc, is just too similar to another game. With the amazing stuff this Developer has made I'm sure the next game will be the hit! 4. Needs more music. The same small tracks playing over and over adds to boredom. Overall cons: If you have a low attention span then this game might not be for you. Pros (let's get onto the real meat of the game): 1. Great writing: It's similar to other games but I really think there is something unique about the writing in this game. I think if it was detached by the Undertale game mechanics, and slow paced game, there could be a real hit here. 2. Charm: This game spews charm all over me like broken soup dispenser. I can't help but love it. 3. Art: Pretty cool style that only serves to explode the previously broken soup dispenser to cover the whole room in sou- I mean charm. Overall Pros: For the price it's a must buy! And honestly looking forward to seeing any future projects from the director of this game!

Yitz truly deserves credit for this indie game. Here are 5 reasons why you should buy this game. 1.)You can fight a werewolf and save a town from it's bloodshed. 2.)Soundtrack for the game is spot on, there is some awesome music. 3.)Humor for the game reminds you of Undertale, very funny and random. 4.)3 different endings based on choices made in game. 5.)The game only costs $4.99 but is worth it for it's pure creativeness. Seriously go play Nepenthe, Yitz has a talent at designing indie games. 7.5/10, Support him!
