Description



Hero Man, Hero Man, only doing what a Hero Man can. Whether he can actually save the world and bring home the glory is another question entirely.

And so we enter this retro-inspired RPG world where YOU determine the outcome! Your choices will determine the fate of Hero Man and the world at large. Help Hero Man save the world of Somewhere from the sinister Lord Doldrum ... or do nothing of the sort if you so please! Will you help bring peace to the world or break the story line in some horrible way? The answer is up to you!

In this satirical take on an old-school JRPG, you'll guide Hero Man on a journey that is very brief and meaningless indeed, and find up to 18 fun, heroic, and grisly endings that take 2-20 minutes each! Unlock different endings depending on your moral actions, party composition, character levels, and more.



Look forward to the following new features, as well!

  • Original Graphics and Music Assets.
  • 18 Endings that can be found in almost any order, depending on your actions.
  • Keep track of every ending you've found on one save file. What will happen when you find them all?
  • Enlist the aid of Marionette characters to help Hero Man on his adventure! Recruit helpers such as the Solider, Mage, Cleric and... that's it.
  • Quality of Life features that gradually unlock as you find more endings, such as the ability to turn off random encounters or restart your current run.
