This RPG breaks from the normal formula in a few respects. The battle system does not use any menus, switching all commands to simple button pushes. A being attack, B for dodge, Start will run and the D-Pad is shortcuts to certain spells. The combat is also live, in the sense that if you take too long to complete your turn, your opponent will attack again.

More like okay greed.

One of the top hits on YouTube for this game is this video review that just absolutely gushes over it. She literally compares it to Earthbound. I… different strokes for different folks 🤷‍♂️. I suppose it’s on my ass also because there’s another video she made that’s like “Drakkhen for snes is OVERLOOKED you should GIVE IT ANOTHER CHANCE PLEEESE.” Girl, stop trying to make fetch happen

Enjoying the fast paced and simple battle system, with big expressive sprites.

Calorie is an adorable name for a dog.

It's a weird Isekai JRPG, with interesting combat, it's turn-based but a bit real time. You do action at the same time as the enemy, but if you don't press anything for a certain amount of time, the game will still continue and the enemy will still attack you without you doing anything.

The story is your basic good vs evil, the evil is a being called Bio-Haz, he is polluting the other world you are transported in and you have to save that world. For some reason the dev decided to name almost everything food related or pollution related. For example, the town name is Burger Town or Spaghetti Town, while the NPC name is Candy or Truffle, something like that.

It is a very slow game, you walk very slowly and combat is very slow too. Not to mention the super huge dungeon in the later part of the game and the high encounter rate, making this game a slog to play.
