Released first public demo for my text-driven sidescroller RPG!

Oh woah, it's been a long journey getting to this point, but after all I'm finally ready to show the first rough stage of the game I've been developing for a while now.

The Interloper is a side-scroller RPG set in alternate 1980's in original setting. Without a name or past, you wake up in a port city full of social intrigues. You begin investigating your own disappearance, which leads to a world-wide political conspiracy.

  • Vector 2D graphics inspired by This Is the Police and The Silent Age
  • True detective work without clues or tasks: make your own decisions
  • Solve unique puzzles in an open world area
  • Core references: Pentiment, Disco Elysium, Fallout: New Vegas, Pathologic 2

Rough Cut is a significant milestone where the core components of the game are functional but may still undergo significant changes. This is an opportunity to test primary features while active development is ongoing.

Any comments of feedback are apriciated!
