Finding out a majority of the dialogue consisted of randomly generated gibberish was a relief, until then I thought I was as dumb as a bag of rocks. Neat claymation and scenery that will have you feeling like you're stuck home from school with the flu

Wayne wakes up one day and decides to go on an adventure... this adventure is Hylics and it's one I'd recommend you join him on.

One of the most unique RPGs I've ever played. Structure-wise, it has the same story beats as most other RPGs (wake up one day, find your friends and kill god), but it's presented in such a captivating way, it'll stick with you long after the acid trip is over. Everything it offers, from the soundscape to the randomized text, sets up such a bizarre, alien vibe to it all, and yet, it feels so familiar as you make your way through the different areas. There's genuinely nothing quite like it. Most people probably skip over it in favor of the sequel's graphics, but for three bucks, it can't be beat.

I have no clue what the story is or what I'm doing. All I know is that this is the closest I'll get to tripping balls in the best way possible
