How it feels

A quirky, pixelated survival RPG where you navigate a polluted, dystopian Japan as a weird alien, balancing stats and befriending eccentric characters.

What players say

Players praise this free retro RPG for its bleak yet humorous take on alien poverty in a dystopian Japan. The three playable species and multiple endings give it replay value, though a single run lasts around 3 hours. Some find the arrow-key-only controls and small map limiting, while others appreciate the balance the step counter brings.
