Indie RPG with horror elements sprinting enemy #pixelart #horrorgaming #jrpg #indiegame #backrooms

Slip between the cracks of reality into a broken world where danger awaits at every turn. Survive with strategy—battle when necessary, or flee when the odds are stacked against you. Collect strange items, unlock new abilities, and recruit unique companions. Forge your own path—every choice matters.

Nonlinear Exploration
The universe is nonlinear, offering countless paths to choose from. While the depths of The Backworld include surreal horror, you’ll also explore traditional JRPG-inspired fantasy and sci-fi worlds, including your hometown.

Choose Your Approach
Survival goes beyond combat. Use strategy to overcome challenges—fight when necessary, sneak past threats, or find alternative solutions like diplomacy. Every encounter requires careful thought and can shape your journey.

Abilities & Items
Unlock turn-based combat abilities as well as action abilities for exploring, like a hoverboard, dodge-roll, and sprinting. Equipping items also grants you further abilities in combat. For example, a knife allows you to apply a bleeding effect.

Recruit Companions & Pets
Meet a diverse group of companions, including non-human characters, each with their own abilities, personalities, and stories. Each companion has a unique battle resource, like mana for a wizard or energy for a robot, altering how they play in combat. You can also recruit extra pets!

A Cosmic Horror Journey
A cosmic war ripples through dimensions, reaching your hometown. With reality crumbling, you and your friends must face The Backworld to stop the chaos before it consumes everything.

Many Ways to Play!
Explorer: Focused on story and exploration with a relaxed pace.

Adventurer: A balanced RPG experience with elements of horror.

ODDITY is a surreal urban fantasy role playing game set in the Seventies. Play as Travis Fields, an ordinary boy who leaves home in a bid to save the world Travis takes to the field armed with a baseball bat and pellet gun... Along with powers he's only now discovering. It might have something to do with that "Gate" thing that blew up on an impromptu camping trip...

...Whatever the case, the world's in danger! People are crabby, demons run amok, the moon's covered in creepy ooze, a bear did something... And to top it all off, there's even a secret society called the "Modern Men" popping up lately. They might be behind all the recent kidnappings... But don't worry! You'll make plenty of friends as you fight your way through this weird and groovy world!

If you're looking for a roadtrip full of oddball characters and serious challenge with lots of heart... then ODDITY is for you!
