FRAGILE HEARTS (completed comedy game)

[sbester]

Fragile Hearts is an anime inspired comedy RPG, with 8 complete episodes in total. It is a remake of the old tech demo version with completely new gameplay and improved areas and layouts.

This game features hilarious anime portraits, 2D environments, and some really funny characters and plot twists. The complete game is now finished and work has begun on the sequel.

PLOT
What do a "wanted" knight, an unemployed witch, a talking cat, and a bumbling old wizard all have in common? They're all charged with the generic RPG task of finding the "Chosen one" and fulfilling a tired prophecy to save the world from a resurrected evil overlord! Follow a small band of "replacement" heroes as they do their best to foil the evil toils of the overlord. You'll meet many interesting characters along the way, like Amia, the crippled dominatrix, Poko, a blob that everyone wishes would die, and Iggsley, some stupid kid's imaginary friend.

SPECIAL FEATURES
-An animal recruitment system
-8 full length episodes
-Consequential endings which will drastically change the world for the sequel
-Boasting with extra content, including a director's cut (development hell)

the way you executed the humor and gameplay in this game will make or break it. I like the graphics, so i decided to give it a try. I'll do my best to give an opinion soon

Appreciate it!

It's difficult to cater to everyone's tastes when it comes to humor, and so I've chosen an odd mixture of light and dark humor. Even so, I've heard both that people love it, and hate it lol. I think the first 5-10 mins will let someone know if they'll like it or not.

One thing that I should warn everyone of is that lots of the funnier moments require you to have your speakers on, as music and sound have (oddly enough) ended up playing a rather large part in the comedic timing.
