Muffles' Life Sentence

Yeah, that's what you'ld call a hidden gem! Refreshing and interesting artstyle, original plot and story, suprisingly deep lore, quirky humor, and with an deck builder approach an unconventional combat system (for an RPG Maker game, that is). The only thing I found a tad annoying: towards the end there were several encounters I had to re-attempt ([spoiler]because they messed up my deck by shuffling in other cards and I wasn't prepared for that[/spoiler]), and while safe points were never far away, I couldn't just retry but I had to go over some dialogs repeatedly. A "edit deck and retry" feature would have been great! Oh, and if you have too many cards at once, they get partially hidden behind some combat dialogs. In my - probably somewhat uncommon - build this happened all the time. Anyway, I consider this a must-play if you're looking for an fresh take on RPGs with wacky characters and setting!

Muffles' Life Sentence is a strange and deliberately unsettling RPG that combines dark comedy, mystery, deckbuilding combat, and grotesque character design into an adventure that rarely feels conventional. Developed by BossyPino and published by Black Lantern Collective, it follows Muffles, a prisoner condemned to spend the rest of their existence within the disturbing Maddox Prison System. With no memory of the crime that led to this punishment and a body that has already been subjected to horrifying alterations, Muffles begins a journey to understand both the prison and their forgotten identity. One of the most interesting aspects of the setting is the philosophy behind the Maddox Prison System. Prisoners are physically modified according to their crimes, resulting in a population filled with bizarre and often disturbing characters. Muffles has suffered particularly severe treatment, including having their mouth sewn shut, but also possesses the ability to take and wear other people's faces. What initially sounds like a purely grotesque narrative detail becomes an important part of progression, since acquiring faces and memories can provide new cards for combat. The concept give…

despite flying under the radar, absolutely deserves to be up there with the greats of the genre. if it came out earlier, a former webcomic composer might've made a skeleton oc inspired by it. godspeed Bossy, your game's a riot
