Come for the strong, indie Paper Mario vibes, and stay for the fairytales defeating capitalism ๐
I clocked in at about 25 hours, but bear in mind that was me doing the occasional side quest & taking my sweet time lol.
In the context of most RPGs of this nature, it's shorter than average. I personally thought it was paced pretty perfectly though.
It's an Albany expression.

Was keeping an eye on this indie Paper Mario-like's development for at least a couple years & was *well* worth the wait.
The visuals, gameplay, music, story & humor all work together in an experience every bit as enjoyable as the franchise it emulates imo.
I won't lie: Wish I could try it for not 70 flippin' dollars lol.

I mean, *losing coins* & giving them to your opponents when you drew the short straw in a 1 v 3 minigame!? Brutal! ๐ Glad they dropped that moving forward.

How about yourself? Hope you & the fam have been good.

And I'm just like, uhh, okay? I *loved* other platformers that came before it. Sign me up then! lol.
