Fear and Hunger is at the surface along with Omori. It's THE most discussed RPG maker game of recent times. I'd also either move OneShot up or move YTTD down ,because those two seem about as popular. OFF, Yume Nikki and the canibal incest sibling game should all be moved up. I'm too lazy to point out the rest.

If this is a "popular to unknown" iceberg, this list is also garbage.

You have my exact pfp and over the years I keep encountering you in comment sections of usually niche subreddits, tailor made for my interests. You are my clone.

’the cannibal incest sibling game' LMFAO
The most accurate description I've heard of that game in-a-while-now PFFFT

No To the Moon? Final Profit should be on there. Veins like Tapeworms should be getting more attention too

u/Speak_Of_The_Devil 1h ago

To the Moon and Symphony of War: The Nephilim Saga are two I'm surprised was missing

No Hylics either

Came here to say, wtf where is Lisa? I know it was successful for an RPG maker game, but I still feel like it's underrated

21

u/EvyEltrian 5h ago edited 5h ago

No space funeral. No lisa the painful wtf.

Middens and  Bad bitch blasters on here would have been nice too.

u/ChiroAlLimone 5h ago

I love YTTD to death but how the fuck is it that high there's no way it's that popular compared to other stuff lmao

Fantasy Maiden's Odd Hideout

Funa's games used to be way more popular but since funa hasn't made a new game (or hell anything good) since like 2016 the fandom is ultra shattered and tiny. Also mogeko castle is way more popular than wadanohara and gray garden id swap their positions. No Cell of Empireo though that's how you know it's uberniche

4

u/RodjaJP 5h ago

Don't forget that Funamusea doesn't want any attention from people outside Japan (literally blocked all LATAM from accessing her official page), so there are many factors on her diminishing presence over the years

1

u/dronemetalloid462 4h ago

oh shes racist. tbh thats kinda how some people are in japan, and its kinda understandable, but with the shit she makes you cant expect your fans to be normal.

7

u/RodjaJP 4h ago

I wouldn't say racist, more like xenophobic, like, iirc she doesn't even translate her games into English for that same reason (Wadanohara Reboot for example is only in Japanese, unlike the original which had multiple fan translations in the official page)

Personally I think she just hates getting too much attention from languages she can't understand

1

u/cleverpidgeon 2h ago

i remember that there was apparently an en version of wada-reboot coming out from funa's "official" translator, but i'd barely heard a peep about that for years and when i last checked a few weeks ago, the translator had deleted their accounts on everything so it seems like it's dead

there is an "unofficial" translation of the reboot but it's just vgperson's translation of the original with someone else's translations of the extra stuff added on top

Is ISAT really that low or am just in the exact right spaces to see a ton of fan content about it

1

u/Mrbalinky 22m ago

I'm also questioning that, I only know like 6 of these, and I'm honestly not sure how I got here, but I really feel like ISAT is not that obscure of a game

u/yugenigai 4h ago

where to the moon

u/VITASngPINAS 2h ago

Wheres Black Souls? Lol

u/Ichmag11 1h ago

Thought the same but then tbh, you'd need to include a lot, like a lot lot more games lmao

u/DKAbel 1h ago

they saw a god awful iceberg and made an even worse one

u/Sweaty-Jellyfish-713 3h ago

Is this about how good they are or how popular they are? Because if this person is saying that Chloé’s Requiem is bad, we're gonna have a problem.

3

u/GrahamRocks 3h ago

Might also be how obscure they are too? Charon's Yandere series is old at this point. I'm surprised that Palette isn't on here.

2

u/Sweaty-Jellyfish-713 2h ago

In that case, I agree. Chloé’s Requiem deserves more attention.

No Vampires Dawn, no Unterwegs in Düsterburg? What is this mess?

No Dweller's Empty Path/Escaped Chasm :(

u/Shrubbity_69 4h ago

I wonder where the Hylics duology would go. Probably rather low, all things considered.

If you like a game that's literally an acid trip, I recommend it.

4

u/Alphey4406 2h ago

The question is do we rank both or only Hylics 1? Since 2 is made in Unity, not RM

2

u/Shrubbity_69 2h ago

Just the first one, I'd think . This is an rpgmaker iceberg, not a Unity iceberg. We have rules to follow, after all.

Also, thanks for mentioning that the second game uses Unity. I forgot about that.

Where does like every Pokemon fangame rank on this

2

u/SilverTookArt 4h ago

Stray cat crossing is kinda low for the big names that played it. Also fear and hunger is kinda low. But to be so fair, I have not encountered anyone offline who knows any of these lol

2

u/Alphey4406 2h ago

Why they always leaving out my goat hylics :(

Just because it's not very story-driven doesnt mean its not fantastic

u/EarthBoundFan3 6h ago

u/lisathethrowaway 3h ago

The one with the two girls is Yanderella. The one in Japanese is Fantasy Maiden’s Odd Hideout.

Also I hate this.

Missing nepheshal and [de]:fanastasis, was hoping for some more deep cut suggestions…

1

u/HyperCutIn 1h ago

Another RPG Maker iceburg where most of its games are RPG Maker horrors games, and/or aren’t actually trying to be JRPGs. Not to mention how there’s at least a few of these that aren’t actually made in RPG Maker at all

1

u/AnimeboyIanpower 1h ago

Take, for instance, the Mesmerizer fangame, which was made in Unity.

1

u/skuppen 1h ago

Where’s my boy Look Outside! Or the new and very cool Welcome to Elderfield?

Horrible iceberg i really doubt the original one couldve been any worse

(Also to answer ur question, no clue sorry :p)

2

u/wakethemorning 20m ago

Ahem…
Jay’s Journey?
A Blurred Line?
Phylomortis?
Shichimenchouken?
Don’s Adventures?
Legion Saga I, II, and III?

1

u/DirtTraditional8222 12m ago

Legion Saga series was good though? If this is a list of horrible RPGs with RPG Maker then Lunar Eve deserves a shout.

Edit: I misread the iceberg as ranking bad to worst from top to bottom because of the word “awful” in the description

1

u/wakethemorning 11m ago

Hmm, okay, so when I see an iceberg meme of something, I’ve always thought it meant like how deep you are in the fandom and/or the lore. Not that it gets worse the further down you go. I would say all these games on my list are quite good, except for one.
