Had always wanted to get around to playing this, and the new event finally gave me the kick I needed!
Game felt very unique, and very much like a horror game. The gen 1 style played into it and I liked the setting of it being in our real world. Finding "Bat" as an enemy felt extremely funny but...
the presentation was amazingly well done, massively congratulations to the team behind it, and also congratulations to the team behind Gary Versus the Sun. It was a very cool little indie game with lots of charm.
Just played through the first 2 hours and a bit, and I'm absolutely loving it. I honestly think it's safe to say that this is the most beautiful fangame I've ever played. It's amazing. It looks unrecognisable from essentials. And it's not just the visuals that have a lot of effort put into it...
PKMN Jam Festival just dropped and I think it suits what you said. The difficulty is pretty vanilla, you get Tools instead of HMs, and you can turn on XP ALL in the settings menu
congratz on the release! I've really enjoy what I've played so far, and I think it does an open world in a fun way. Looking forward to playing some more soon(ish)!
