Hey #screenshotsaturday!

This is "Quartet" - a retro turn based rpg with strong characters and great writing. Coming soon to PC!

#indiegame #pixelart

Quartet drops tomorrow and Something Classic gave me the chance to take an early look at it.

Now that I've played through it I want to tell you why this is THE Indie RPG you need to keep your sights on!

Long time no post, but I've been BUSY at work! And one of these projects is OUT TOMORROW!💎

@somethingclassic.bsky.social gave me the privilege to draw key art for #Quartet!🗻 This throwback pixel #RPG has you taking on 8 unique and wonderfully written party members (yep, even a hippo).

Is Quartet the best pure turn-based RPG of the year? After playing it, I think it just might be! Find out why this indie JRPG feels both timeless and brand new in my full review! youtu.be/sk6XH0_Xt7k

Playing with storytelling in the veil of Wild ARMs or Octopath Traveler, indie RPG Quartet from Something Classic Games is ambitious and exceeds its promises.

Hey can we talk about how AMAZING an accessibility option this is? Not even just for people who may struggle reading certain fonts, but also people playing on different sized devices.

Other indie RPG devs: please steal this concept.
