Description Quote freely

Tagline

The hero gets the story. You get the upgrades.

One line135 characters

You're the NPC by the well in someone else's RPG: buy upgrades for yourself and the game around you until the Hero finally notices you.

Short283 characters

An active comedy incremental about the NPC by the well. Earn Screen Time every time the Hero walks past, then upgrade yourself and the game you're stuck in: a second line of dialogue, legs (beta), 16-bit color, a kazoo, a chiptune band. The hero gets the story. You get the upgrades.

Long

You are Villager #3. You stand by the well in Mossbrook and say one line: "Welcome to Mossbrook!" You have four colors (all green), no legs, no music and no name. Every 45 seconds or so, Lance Valorheart, the Hero, walks past on his way to the real adventure. He has never once looked at you.

Every time he walks past, you earn Screen Time. Spend it: on a second line of dialogue, Legs (beta), a name up to 8 letters long, a wooden spoon, 16-bit color that spreads out from you while the Hero stays stubbornly monochrome, and a soundtrack that starts as one kazoo.

Say your line at exactly the right moment, photobomb his cutscenes, beat Villager #2 to the Hero's errands, and catch Gerald, Chicken #3, the only one who has always noticed you. Every purchase changes how Mossbrook looks, sounds or plays, and the whole town has opinions about it.

Features

Feature list
  • An active comedy incremental where nearly every upgrade visibly or audibly changes the game, with a joke attached
  • 16-bit JRPG pixel art that starts in four shades of Game Boy green and earns every color
  • An original chiptune soundtrack that grows from silence to kazoo to band to 16-bit orchestra. No licensed music, so it's safe to stream and monetize
  • Active without frantic clicking: hold to wave, a Relaxed or Auto assist for the timing mini-games, and some progress while you're away
  • Every reveal can be skipped after half a second and replayed in the Upgrade Museum
  • Mouse, keyboard or controller
  • Three acts, about 4–6 hours to the credits, then New Game+
