This game is so cool! I love the earthound/mother ness of it all, and love the music! However, I think the mushroom enemy needs to be nerfed. I was caught in an infinite stunlock that killed me from basically full health. Otherwise, it's a wonderful game!
I went into this game totally blind not knowing anything about the plot. I found the game through a post on Twitter and immediately went to go download it because I thought the art was really beautiful. I really thought this was going to be a quirky lighthearted RPG so when the prologue took a dark turn I gasped out loud. I also thought that Charlie was going to be another no-personality silent protagonist so when she started giving sass to everyone I was so surprised! This was a wonderful game and I really look forward to the Kickstarter!
Cool game dude I really like it honestly and the old style of the game is really cool, I wonder how it looks on a crt monitor maybe I could test since I have one...?
hello oddventure team my name is jesus i am a lover of pixelated RPGs i am mexican and i dont speak english (i am writing this from is the google translator) but his demo called me a lot the antencion and well i would like to play the game but for my lack of knowledge of the language I cannot understand it and I wanted to know, do you have planned (or at least considered) to translate the game into Spanish? I do not say that they translate it immediately, but little by little when they finish developing it, I cannot enjoy a masterpiece if I do not understand it, I await your response
Hi! Some of our LATAM fans wanted to help us with translations. I will be asking them soon :) Thanks for the kind words! I hope you will be able to enjoy it in your native language ^^
First, try it on the XBox One. If it works, then at least you know the controller is operational. It could be the USB port you're using on the PC...
If you're using a Linux distribution, then the default XPad driver doesn't respond well (or at all) to newer XBox controllers. There are drivers you can download for support. The same solution applies if you have an off-brand controller.
For Windows, it could be the off-brand controller issue mentioned previously. But Microsoft is pretty good about supporting off-brand controllers (If it runs on the XBox One, then it runs on Windows). I'm not very-well experienced with fixing Windows controller issues. The best course of action is to check a different controller and see if it works (even a 360 controller).
Not yet. I think it'll be up in August. I can't run campaign from my country so it takes some time to make it possible. ^^ Also we want to make a good one!
Oh yeah i got it. I suggest you may want to put slippy a little closer to the player when doing that puzzle, so the player knows they are on the right way (sry for bad english)
Hiya. Unfortunately when I borrowed Mac for tests it didn't happen for me. Also noone reported me this so far. How many times have you tried to get through this part?
Working on a game similar to this, and I may or may not use some inspiration! Like the spooky void hand scene looked real cool, maybe something like that could fit somewhere in my game, who knows! Have a Lagreat day, fellow developer! =D
However, there are issues with the English localization. This isn't a line by line analysis, just the basics:
There are a number of jokes that involve the possibility that children are being touched inappropriately by adults. In general, these won't go over well in the states, particularly in the preexisting English-primary-speaker Motherlike fanbase, which has a downright rabid fear of creators turning out to be child predators...
"Determination" is used in a thematically significant way 3 times. 1 time is a cute nod to an inspiration; more than that risks overassociating your game with Undertale, where that word plays a crucial role in the game's text and motifs.
General janky wording, especially in long dialogues towards the end of the demo.
Basically: you need a native English speaker to edit the English localization after translation to make things sound good, retain emotional tenor, and prevent culture-based marketing issues.
Again, such an amazing game. I genuinely want to thank you for making this game. It's so unique and I really enjoy how I'm already getting a sense of character development from it all, also I LOVE that you put Slippy in this game (idk if that was a PewDiePie reference or not) but I LOVE SLIPPY
This game is seriously so so so so so so much fun, one of the most original turn based RPG's I've played ever! I really like the characters and the enviroment! I CAN'T wait for the finished product <3 keep up the amazing work, here's the video in which I started playing this awesome game!
Hillow, i just played the game (for 2h) and it was sooo great ! I found it by chance when i was looking for example of story-rich games to see if i'd put my game in this category and well, and i was like :
"lore rich turned base crazy rpg" ...mmh interesting "fight your inner demons and reach for the spark of hope"I TAKE YOUR ENTIRE STOCK ! That's exactly the type of story/game i love/play/make/write ! I found some commonalities with my own game and that's amazing to see more and more games with psychology elements / real-life issues (and more good games made with godot ) ! And i also loved the references (not sure i found all of 'em but at least the Undertale and Mother ones).
The story is good so far, the graphics are beautiful, the gameplay mecanics match the narrative elements and themes (the mood, very well developed). I look forward to see the whole game (maybe in french ? ;) )
I only played the first few minutes, up until the tea party, but this is SUCH a charming game, so much personality. The "audience" response is such a great touch
Thanks! Hope you will like the rest of it. The demo is about 1h15min up to 2h long (if you decide to check every corner and interact with everything) ^^
This demo is so GOOD! the moral system is so much fun to play with. Looking forward to farming dwarf berries when the full game comes out. Thank you Infamous Rabbit and crew!
Why don't you get inspired by a real shin maygoomie tensay game, like Nocturne or Strange Journey? Persona, and Undertale, are casualized dating sims that panders to lonely waifufags like yourself.
You aren't even dungeon crawling mate, just try not to feel too bad.
This game is really great! I love the Mother and Undertale references. The battle system is also pretty unique. Can't wait to see the finished product.
such a lovely game! i loved the subtle references to undertale and mother XD. the artwork is so pleasant, and the battle mechanics are really interesting. i think it would benefit from having more save slots, and there were a few small spelling errors, but overall i'm excited to see the fully fleshed-out game!
This was super fun to play! The world, music, and gameplay were all fantastic. Having your combat effectiveness change depending on your mood is a neat mechanic I haven't seen before, and I'm happy that there's puzzles mixed into the game as well. Major props to the developers! Can't wait for the full release (so my curse word spewing Charlie can cause terror throughout the world)!
Will do! oh yeah something you might need to know. sometimes when leaving the 7 manly gnomes house's area (going back towards Jack Grimms house) the game would randomly close, it happened twice, once before the wolf boss and another time right after, it happened while transitioning between screens though I cant remember which one sorry. All I remember was it was one of the screens in between the manly gnomes house and Jacks house.
This game is incredible! I LOVE the references to games like Undertale and Mother! The art style is also very aesthetic and is very pleasant to look at!
The story is VERY engaging and I would love to see what the finished product of this game will look like!
I'm making a video on this game as I speak, I will make sure to post it here!

A wacky yet wonderful experience! Made a shorter edited gameplay video but will be uploading my full demo playthrough in a few days! Good job!
Cool game dude I really like it honestly and the old style of the game is really cool, I wonder how it looks on a crt monitor maybe I could test since I have one...?
Would be cool! Consider posting a photo here :D
Would do so but the problem is getting my pc to display on my crt moniter/tv
I done it! Looked cool, but didn't take a photo at the time. Will see if I can do it again.
This game looks very promising! When did you start working on it?
Thanks! We were working for about a year on the demo. Plus I was working about a year on a lore, characters, story, etc. :)

Thank you! :)
I had the same concern
:) I really like the art style, it reminds me of Mother 3.
I think it's probably partly inspired by the mother series.
Wow, I like the art style and undertale referennce lol, I'm curious as to what game engine was this made?
Thanks! The game was made with GODOT.
I'm also curious, thank you for the information.
My XBox One controller is connected by USB to my PC and is on but the game seems not to respond to the controller input, any idea to submit feedback?
First, try it on the XBox One. If it works, then at least you know the controller is operational. It could be the USB port you're using on the PC...
If you're using a Linux distribution, then the default XPad driver doesn't respond well (or at all) to newer XBox controllers. There are drivers you can download for support. The same solution applies if you have an off-brand controller.

The demo is brilliant!, is the Kickstarter campaign live yet?
Not yet. I think it'll be up in August. I can't run campaign from my country so it takes some time to make it possible. ^^ Also we want to make a good one!
Awesome will definitely support you!
Great game! Looking forward to buy it! Just one question: Is the part with the dwarfs the end of the demo or?
You need go back to Jack Grimm. But listen carefully to Bonzo, as you may be interested in saving the dwarf asap ;)
Oh yeah i got it. I suggest you may want to put slippy a little closer to the player when doing that puzzle, so the player knows they are on the right way (sry for bad english)
Cool demo, but the Mac version crashes every time I finish the cutscene after the battle with Mr Duck.
Hiya. Unfortunately when I borrowed Mac for tests it didn't happen for me. Also noone reported me this so far. How many times have you tried to get through this part?
Loved the demo! I can't wait for the full release!
Streamed this on Twitch last night. I loved the dwarf butt. 😂
Thanks! I saw that the stream is going on, but unfortunately I couldn't join. So I watched it today on Twitch ;D Glad you liked the demo!
will this game come out on steam
Yeah, the full version will be avialble on Steam :)
Checking the demo out on my channel this weekend and I had a great time playing! Absolutely love the art style, humour, and gameplay.
Added to my wishlist for when this comes out - keep up the good work devs.
Thanks! Looking forward to see p2! :D
Can't wait for it to release!
Me too! :D
Working on a game similar to this, and I may or may not use some inspiration! Like the spooky void hand scene looked real cool, maybe something like that could fit somewhere in my game, who knows! Have a Lagreat day, fellow developer! =D
Very cool game, is this a solo project?
Hiya! We're making this as 3 ppl core team + composer.
This is really cool.
Thanks :) Hop you enjoyed the demo!
Cute and has a great deal of promise!

Yeah, he's THE SLIPPY. :D
AHHHHHH<3 That's so awesome :) I'm sure Pewds would really appreciate that
He have heard about it ;)

I love games like this and this one is my favorite so far! Take your time with developing the game, this type of stuff is not easy to develop!
Loved playing it, everything was great even the perverts hope to play more soon.
Thanks for playing! I watched both of your vidoes :D If you liked the game you can help by giving us a rate!
I only played the first few minutes, up until the tea party, but this is SUCH a charming game, so much personality. The "audience" response is such a great touch

Had to make another video
This demo is so GOOD! the moral system is so much fun to play with. Looking forward to farming dwarf berries when the full game comes out. Thank you Infamous Rabbit and crew!
Thanks. I hope you won't be dissapointed with future CONSUMABLES! :D
I exited to see what you folks come up with

I'm glad you liked it! Do you remember some of them by any chance? Like scenes where you have noticed them. It would help a lot! :D
there's at least 3 typos in the promo images
you somehow managed to misspell "release" on the .exe itself
Made another video
"EVENTUALLY" XD love your comments
Seems like a neat game. It looks like Earthbound and Undertale, and those be low-key L I T . =D
This was super fun to play! The world, music, and gameplay were all fantastic.

Thanks :D I just watched the whole video! I'm glad you liked my odd sense of humor. :D
This game was absolutely amazing, I loved every minute of it. Great work!
Thanks. It's nice to hear that you loved it :) You can always help us by giving us a rate! It will mean a lot :)

Thanks! It seems that few people had this issue. And we're currently checking this out!
Made a video
Omg that was hillarious XD Gravity Falls ans Over the Garden Wall inspirations confirmed!

Thanks man, that means a lot to me! I'll watch the video as soon as you'll upload it :D
Good one :D It made me laugh few times. ^^ Also: Oh no. you eneded video just few minutes before the ending... xD
Really interesting game, It was my first upload!
Awesome video. It was fun to watch your reactions to my jokes which were like mix of wtf and giggling :D
