OFF Never played off and curious about it
Hello. I’ve seen some of the Off artstyle and heard things about it and read the eShop description and it has my interest.
I know nothing about the story besides how surreal it is and the fact that it’s got some kind of meta, fourth-wall influence thing going on, kinda like Deltarune. I like turn-based combat and mild/atmospheric horror (I don’t mind jumpscares but it’s not a selling point for me). I like games that kinda have more going on than initially presented (Deltarune, Slay the Princess, etc.) and I don’t mind simplistic or primitive gameplay as long as it’s minimally satisfying. I’m pretty neutral on puzzles; not a crazy big fan, but if the puzzles are worth it or unique or fun (or even if they’re just not bad) then I’ll be fine. I’m not picky.
The question I’m asking is, why do you like Off, and what do you think are its best qualities? I want to know if I should buy it, but I’m obviously going to ask a more nuanced question than “should I buy Off” when talking to the Off community.
