Demons Roots

this is genuinely one of the best stories I've ever seen from a video game. seriously I'm like halfway through the story and have been moved to tears like three times already. very unexpected from a game with an r18 patch but who cares. it's brilliant :33 edit: six times now. dear god the plot twist I just witnessed was DEVASTATING edit 2: just finished the game . oh my god. please play this. I've cried like 20 times now this is one of the greatest games I've ever played

A running theme in this game, that hit me the most: [b] Can someone entire birth be a mistake. Simply by being born different does that mean you deserve to suffer more than someone else, judged before even being recognized as a living thing. Or should they just not be born at all, like simply existing is a sin. [/b] This hit especially hard towards the end of the game, but stays consistent throughout. A big part of the game is gathering unfortunate people, abused by a system that's made for the few. Surviving a ruler that see no value in the lives of the many. And trying to make a place where they can just live. Because even that is a battle in this world. This story by the end left me speechless like I was trying to piece my psyche back together. Just thinking of... well everything. A big part of this is about the main character being so interesting not to mention bonus points for being unique even in this niche. It's hard to talk about what a story is about without any spoilers but I'll be a bit less vague after this, If you already know the genre or niche this games is in I'd just jump right in without reading anything else. To me it was great that way. Deathpolca the MC h…

Demons Roots is one of the finest RPGs I've ever had the pleasure of playing, from a story perspective. A lot of stories set out to talk about structural issues and many will have something to say. But lurking around is the Problem Dragon. Slay the dragon (or whatever other villain) and you get 20 years of prosperity and peace without having to actually address the problems. Demons Roots avoids this problem elegantly while delivering a fantastic RPG story that hits hard and isn't afraid to talk about real ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up ♥♥♥♥. Not many games give you the ability to play as sexual abuse survivors teaming up to kill fascists and end slavery, but this game does. Combat is honestly pretty fun. It's fairly standard turn based but each character has really fun niches where they excel and you feel that impact. The party has really fun dynamics with each other and you can swap party members out freely to match the situation. Not super challenging, but not tedious either. Music is quite nice. There's some RPGmaker stock songs but also some unique tracks that are quite good and used very well to punctuate story moments. Do note you need to install the R18 restoration patch from the devs, the g…

THATS HOW IT ENDS??? the game's story is really good but the ending was really underwhelming and the game clearly hates any stakes involving character death. Deathpolca's and LK's relationship was sweet though.

Has a nice Story and Background music
