About Elijah and the Out of this World Adventure
Night falls in Cleveland, Ohio as Elijah finishes his shift stocking produce and gets ready to go practice for his next gig with his band. On his way home, he gets attacked by some type of alien creature and blacks out. When he wakes up, the city has changed.
The military has come in and blocked off the roads, and the official statement is that there has been some sort of chemical spill. Anyone who tries to leave the city is summarily executed. The people then begin to change… mutating into all sorts of hideous, flesh-eating creatures that attack anyone nearby. As Elijah tries to meet up with his brother, he finds out that he's already been killed by the mutants.
With the monsters closing in and an alien conspiracy unfolding, Elijah decides to head out on the streets of Cleveland to uncover the mysteries that lie ahead and take back the city from the infected hordes.

It took a bit, but this game really warmed up to me the more I played. Not sure what to compare it to... perhaps Zelda I and III on NES/SNES as you get multiple tools to help you in your quest and are encouraged to re-explore areas. I played most of this on the steam deck and had zero issues though the top info bar and some text may be difficult to read. The story is simple, but engaging. Gameplay is simple too, but it's not just about recognizing patterns of your enemies, but keeping track of the buildings you enter, what you get, did you get stuck because of a missing item and need to come back later? I liked how there were multiple ways to obtain items or make things in buildings easier to deal with whether it be through brute forcing things, charming people, hacking computers, or just outright buy the item. Some people might not like the art direction. It looks like something out of Windows 3.1 or classic Flash games on Newgrounds. But hey, that screams to me "Retro" and "Old School". Some may find the adult humor a bit much, but I found it hilarious. Two things I didn't care for - 1) No real way to pause the action. If you take a break, make sure you are on a screen…3 found this helpful

I've been loving this game, I took a break and now I'm lost, but some of the characters are WIIIIILD. Money Well Spent.
Elijah and the Out of this World Adventure, developed and published by PDS Games, is an indie action-RPG that mixes retro design sensibilities with an unusual narrative premise. Rather than placing players in a purely fantastical world, it grounds its story in a stylized version of modern-day America, where an unexpected alien invasion transforms a familiar setting into something chaotic and dangerous. This contrast between the ordinary and the surreal gives the game a distinctive tone, even if its mechanics remain rooted in classic genre conventions. The story follows Elijah, an everyday individual whose routine life is abruptly shattered when a mysterious outbreak—initially disguised as a chemical incident—begins turning people into hostile, mutated creatures. As the city is sealed off and communication breaks down, the narrative shifts into a survival-driven journey, with Elijah navigating both physical threats and the uncertainty surrounding the event. While the premise has a strong foundation, the storytelling itself is fairly direct, focusing more on moment-to-moment progression than on deep character development or complex narrative arcs. Gameplay centers on real-time comb…

You can kick yourself through walls. It's exactly as Ohio as I remember. 10/10
