Community for CRPG and other RPG discussions. Focus is on CRPGs, but discussion around JPRGs, ARPGs and hybrid games with RPG components is also welcome.

Tabletop/pen & paper RPG discussion is not a good fit for this community. Check out !rpg@ttrpg.network for TT/P&P RPG discussions.

Memes are not banned, but the overwhelming focus is on discussions, releases and articles. Try and post memes (on an occasional basis) that would make people who don't like memes admit "OK! That was a good one!".

Rules (Click to Expand):

  1. Follow the Lemmy.world Rules - https://mastodon.world/about

  2. Be kind. No bullying, harassment, racism, sexism etc. against other users.

  3. No spam, illegal content, or NSFW content (no games with NSFW images/video).

  4. Please stay on topic, cRPG adjacent games or even JRPGs are fine. Try to include topics / games that have a strong roleplaying component to them.

Into the Evernight, a turn-based tactical RPG, just arrived on Steam. It’s retro-styled and choice-driven, with branching paths and multiple endings that hinge on the decisions you make.

The story is grim: the sun died long ago, and now even the wardstones—the last sources of light—are fading. You venture into the Evernight to see if anything can be saved, or if the darkness is inevitable.

Visually, this bears the RPGMaker mark, though the tactical grid battles make it stand out. The art has a 16-bit charm, but resolution is low—go full screen on modern hardware and clarity drops. It still works, though; the style feels deliberate.

Sound carries the mood with a good soundtrack and ambient effects that keep the world alive. Controls are flexible, too—you can stick with keyboard and mouse or use an Xbox controller. Officially it’s Windows-only, but it runs fine on Linux through Proton. Specs are featherweight: 1GB of RAM is enough.

This is the debut project from developer Basoosh—and it’s been two decades in the making. A passion project chipped away at night after night, now finally complete.

And here’s the kicker: it’s completely free. Not free-to-play, not “free with DLC,” not free with ads. Just free.

looks awesome, I love the character portraits.

The little ones for turn order on the right are nice! The bigger ones above the HP and WD bars kind of break my pixel art immersion and don't feel as good to me because of that, but I'm glad you like them—after all, someone had to draw them!
