great game and the story is reminiscent of the feuding between the Grangerford and Shepherdson families from Mark Twain's beloved novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Thanks, Kevin! I know it's a little cheeky, but I fundamentally believe you can tell rich stories even with a low fidelity UI. Looking forward to V2.
No idea what critters are but I killed hella lot of them :D

Hi Product Hunt! I wanted to see if I could make a demo for an RPG that lived completely in the browser and only used React. So I wanted to share the results! It was a ton of fun getting it to this point and is a backbone I will use to build a full RPG (with fancy assets and animations). If there is interest I will happily make a repo for this. Would love to know what you think! Thanks, Shah
Pixel games <3

thanks for checking it out, Timofey! let me know if there's a pixel aesthetic/game you like, looking for inspiration for V2 assets.
Now THIS is narrative design - on the edge of my seat for Chapter 2!

Thanks so much for playing to the end!! Let me know if you have any RPGs close to your heart, looking for inspiration.
This was a fun way to waste 5 minutes! Love how simple it is. Reminds me of the old browser based games of yesterday!

Thanks for playing, Tregg! I do miss those the days of flash games. One weird thing I realized I had to account for is making the game with responsive design! Any favorite flash games from back in the day?
Love it ! Cool design !!
Maker
thanks for checking it out, Sandoche. And just checked out Kanbanote, very cool!
Thankkks :)
I love the pixel style here. I am making a retro game myself and was having trouble creating the buttons. I just found my inspiration.

Thanks for checking it out, James! Excited to see the results of your game, let me know if there's any way to check it out now or if we can be notified when it's out.
You nailed the game mechanics of 90% of RPGs, . Side note: I used to play a ton of JRPGs when I was a kid. Maybe I had a better imagination now they feel very slow and repetitive.

thanks for checking it out, Ryan! Let me know if there are any that you still have fond memories of, looking for inspiration on mechanics and assets.
Great idea! Amazing storytelling.

Thanks for checking it out, Konrad! I love minimal storytelling, let me know if you have any good examples of that - looking for some inspiration.
