This is a solo project, but a special "thank you" must go to the Playdate community. This game would not happen in its form without you.

I'm adding a more action-oriented mini-game as a bonus! You can download it in the demo download section of this page. Since it uses a different engine than the main game, it will control and play differently.
Merry Christmas!

Beat this the other day. Really enjoyed it! Solid adventure and story.
Picked this up on Catalog, it's an endearing little RPG. Good stuff!
does the game not have any sound? Or am I having a bug? I got my copy from catalog.
Hey, it has only 3 sound effects at specific locations.
thanks!
Such fun! I made a little review video if anyone is interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoImdHfbLrE
