This time loop RPG channels Undertale and Omori in strategic combat
It launches in 2023 but yo🌌u can check out the demo♕ now
If you like 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:games like Undertale and Omori, retro RPGs with turn-bas🌜ed combat, punny protagonists, or rock-paper-scissors, there's a new indie to add to your﷽ radar.
In Stars and Time is a retro-inspired RPG with a turn-based combat system based around the classic schoolyard hand game. Yes, you literally "cast" rock, paperꦉ, and scissors to attack and counter your enemy, but it's structured around a conventional party-based RPG combat formula with stat bars, offensive and defensive effects, seemingly random misses, and so on. Despite what might seem like a limited move set, the combat system actually looks clever and fairly robust.
The story centers around Siffrin, the perpetually stressed "punmaster protagonist" and the only one in their family aware of the fact that they're all stuck in a time loop that forces them to relive, and hopefully fix, their mistakes. Your universe resets every two days, putting you back wಌhere you started and giving you another chance to break the cycle and save the world 𝐆from a tyrannical king.
Borrowing conservatively from the roguelike genre, the playable character becomes better equipped to tackle puzzles and advance through dialogue with each loop. You can equip memories you've collected as armor, pray to the "Change God" to boost your team's stats💮, and ultimately challenge enemies to games of rock paper scissors with increasing odds of winning.
In Stars and Time launches on PC and Nintendo Switch in 2023, but you can🐬 pla💯y the free demo via right now.

After earning an English degree from ASU, I worked as a corporate copy editor while freelancing for places like SFX Magazine, Screꦉen Rant, Game Revolution, and MMO🔜RPG on the side. I got my big break here in 2019 with a freelance news gig, and I was hired on as GamesRadar's west coast Staff Writer in 2021. That means I'm responsible for managing the site's western regional executive branch, AKA my home office, and writing about whatever horror game I'm too afraid to finish.
