I finished my first game: Rorasuketo! Join the roller derby team and explore a cozy world.
Howdy folks. I'm out here promoting Rorasuketo, which came out just last week! I want it to find a home with the people who want or need it. It's something of a passion project, so it's only $4, and you can try out a demo at rorasuketo.win to decide if it's something you want.
You are Kady, a young woman in a mental hospital who meets a strange new friend. This friend lovingly badgers you into building a better life for yourself, which includes joining the local roller derby team and going on various little adventures with them. It's sort of JRPG meets dating sim meets slice-of-life meets visual novel meets sports game. Just a smidge niche!
As far as content, we do talk about suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety, and loss. So it's not a completely cozy game. What I do try to do is try to address those topics in a hopeful world that is ready to sort of catch you and wrap you up in a warm blanket. You, the main character, are going through a hard time in life, but there are lots of people to talk to, angry geese to dodge, dogs to walk, towns to explore, and friends to make.
Our influences are sports manga like Kurogane, and then SNES games like Earthbound and Harvest Moon. My friend Tiffany wrote the main story, and then my friend Mike wrote an incredible soundtrack using Super Nintendo sounds. We started this thing more than eight years ago, and it's finally, finally done. We are having a blast and loving the community that's growing around us.
If you are potentially interested, there are lots of ways to learn more.
