I'm close now. Very close...
If you have no idea what's going on, that's totally understandable, considering I'm being cryptic and spooky and all that jazz. Rest assured that I'm not trolling youdespite the ridiculously long amount of time this is taking, everything will eventually come together. I'm hoping for a big announcement in this or the next month, but I can't promise it. Until then, if you want to support what's coming (which will be totally free if you already own Nepenthe, btw), please consider leaving a review on Steam.
Cookie Monster wants your critique, and can you really say no to that face?
Have a good one!
From your friendly neighborhood game developer,
Yitz
You wake up with no memory. Your day is starting off great!
Nepenthe is an ironic take on RPGs that's a bit too self aware for its own good. Celebrating the weird space between cute and creepy, with a childish hand-drawn art style, Nepenthe is a game that doesn't realize it's a game about games...
Travel through the land of Carithia, where monsters and humans live together. Not all is well in this world, for warnings of "Nepenthe" are spoken from dark places. Discover the truth, or fall for the lies. Your fate is up to you.
Nepenthe is designed for both casual and hardcore gamers alike.
Explore two modes: "Adventure" or "Story," to find the play-style that best suits you.
"Adventure" mode is a bullet-hell extravaganza, with ever increasing difficulty as the game progresses.
"Story" mode's battles are easy one-click things, designed for those who just want the story, not the gameplay.
