You won't need a haircut where you're going... mostly because you're bald. Inspired by Earthbound, Undertale, and other alt-RPGs, Nepenthe is a hand-drawn game made of dad-jokes and existential dread. Also cookies. Lots of cookies.

Wasn't for me, as I don't enjoy surrealist-comedy games. The art style is the best part, as it's very original!
I have completed this game for so long but forgot to leave a review, love the style and humor, well done Yitz!
This sweet hand-drawn RPG takes a refreshing approach where fighting isn't always the best solution. With an Undertale-like combat system infused with humor, the game offers a delightful twist on traditional RPG mechanics. Its quirky characters and witty dialogue, combined with a unique art style, create an engaging and memorable experience. Highly recommended for anyone who loves a humorous, narrative-driven adventure with its own distinct charm.

This game is terrible. Edit: I'm still upset I bought this game and suffered through it.
Este juego te va a aportar exactamente lo que se ve en las imagenes, si te sentis atraido, diria que el juego es para vos. Caso contrario, el juego probablemente no te guste. En cualquier caso, el juego es corto asi que tampoco hace tanto daño probarlo. Personalmente no me atrajo demasiado el estilo grafico y hubiera preferido mayor enfasis en la historia, pero aun asi fue una entretenida experiencia corta al estilo Undertale.
Short but seems to have a bunch of mysteries outside the three endings
When I first played this game, I was really disappointed. It really wanted you to care, despite having nothing original to offer, plus, the Toby Fox style of humor felt very forced. While I liked the overall artstyle, this game really could've used more polish. That being said, when I replayed the game and got the second ending, I was really impressed. While it was still short and the dialogue was wonky at times, I realized that the creator truly put a lot of passion into it. There were great scenes, the story genuinely got me invested. That's the biggest problem and the greatest quality of it: The important scenes are well-made, but because the concept of the game was build mostly around them, the rest is... average. I still haven't played one of the endings, but I can already say that this game had potential. I just feel like it should've focused less on the random, wacky humor, and instead could've done more story, because most of it is told through exposition dumps. Not to mention there aren't any interesting characters here. Undertale, which Nepenthe was clearly based on, had you invested no matter which path you chose. You liked all of the characters, or at least felt something towards them, and different endings expanded on them, instead making you care for the first time. I can still recommend this game. It's cheap, visually insteresting, and the dialogue is so ridiculously bad, over the top at times, that it's amusing to read.
its fine, i dont like the music but i like the silly writing
This game confuses me so much but I absolutely love the music, story telling, and silly world building like the depression in the floor. This game is 100% worth the small cost of 5$ and I can't wait to explore it more. I just wanted to take a break to tell everyone that this game is AMAZING!
