Baroque is set in a post-apocalyptic world where an experiment led by a being called Archangel to understand the Absolute God caused devastating climate change, with surviving humans becoming physically twisted by manifestations of guilt. The protagonist is guided by Archangel through the Neuro Tower to find the Absolute God and fix the world. The game features first person dungeon-crawling through randomly-generated floors of the Neuro Tower, with deaths in the dungeon advancing the narrative.

Uma pérola perdida antiga... infelizmente hoje em dia não acho que envelheceu bem, além de ser um pouco inacessível, mas os visuais são macabros e a atmosfera dar um ar de tensão pra esse jogo, um dos rpgs mais diferentes que joguei

The post-industrial nightmare environs are astounding on their own, but they also elevate the tension and survival elements of its gameplay, which is basically 3D Mystery Dungeon. It's a run-based game where I was genuinely absorbed by the world and story.

I get it, the Sega Saturn version looks ever so slightly better. Still playing the the PS1 version tho. Tweeking if you think Im finna play a first-person game that rinky dinky ass Saturn controller. Game still slaps tho, shits swagged up off the wazoo.

Paraclesius! Put on dat Fugue In D Minor!

okay... genuinely, how the fuck did i not review this game before? i love it. it's so good. it's very tedious and i will knock it down for being a bit unfair or unfun sometimes (paralysis ailment hitting me every 15 seconds no joke? dunno what happened there still.) but it's so good. the story drives me insane. i read the manga because i didn't understand it, but now i do and now i feel like my mind is exploding. go play it, it really is worth it. beautiful themes about struggling with religion, survivor's guilt, trauma, and queerness. baroque is a very queer game, that's barely subtle. if you didn't see it then whatever but yeah. it was definitely there. there's a large element of transgenderism in this story.
