“Imagine if Nietzsche had a child with Alice in Wonderland and their kid was raised on Grimms’ Fairy Tales and EarthBound. That’s Oddventure.”
The Kickstarter for Oddventure went live and only needs a third more of its goal to finally fund the project.
About Oddventure
Oddventure is a turn-based role-playing game in a similar vein to Earthbound and Undertale – wherein choices and decisions do matter. If you’re interested, you may also try a playable demo (on PC) via this link.
What to expect of Oddventure
- Mood Battle System – A moody twist on classic turn-based combat! Yeah, you can make the enemies run away crying or spare them and get a present. Every battle can be ended in different ways. But be aware of the consequences.
- Make Choices – Every decision matters. It’s up to you how the story plays out and which of several endings you receive.
- Explore and Interact – Meet new people. Or dwarfs. Or other creatures. Everyone has something interesting to say. Or at least you can listen to their sobbing.
- Solve Puzzles – Between battles, explore a world filled with cute and weird puzzles full of odd creatures.
- Regarding development
The game is coming to PC (Windows, Mac & Linux) and Nintendo Switch. We’re actively developing and testing the game on all platforms.
Jokes, dark undertones and fairy tales
Oddventure is a JRPG about the misadventures of Charlie – a nihilistic and rebellious teenage girl with anger issues and social awkwardness. Charlie searches for her troublesome brother Bonzo and ultimately for a way back home.
The setting is the Kingdom of Luxia, a land straight from original Grimm Brothers’ fairy tales with a dark, Nietzschean twist. Its ruler, King Godwynn Good, is Charlie’s last hope of return.
It’s up to you how the journey will end. While deciding you’ll discover the truth about Charlie’s past. And truth about herself… or even yourself.
