About Penelope Syndrome Preview
Deep in a heavily industrialized city, you find yourself trapped with numerous hostile cryptid monsters. Your only means of defense is a heavy wrench; the last thing from your life before all the chaos began. Fix and repair damaged systems that would allow you to progress and fight for your life until you can escape.
Not everyone can be the hero...
In this Standalone preview build of Penelope Syndrome you will get a small taste of what the full installment will have to offer. Including:
Scavenging
In the sewer systems and back alleys of IF City, you'll find scraps of useful material scattered in the far corners. Can you find enough to get by?
Resource Management
You will often find yourself in situations forcing difficult choices. Spend or save? The true question.
Real Time Combat
If you have the resources to fight, excellent. But knowing when to fight and when to run is a vital, if tricky, skill to master. Enemies will always be hunting you down, and you won't always be ready to face them.
Randomizer System
Every time you start a level, the items are procedurally placed. Meaning what you found may not be where you last found them on previous runs, or even there at all. This includes the monsters you face...

This looks promising. It has unique and interesting game play mechanics that fit in very well with the theme of the game. The sound, music and dialogue are nice. I personally like the cut scene backgrounds, they give a bit of context as to why the game takes place in the sewers. The game play, story, etc. are all very complimentary to each other. It's definitely worth a try. (Bugs, and maybe a crash or two, are to be expected for WIP games tho. Still worth playing.)3 found this helpful
I honestly have had a good time playing this! Am I bad at it? Why yes, yes I am; however, there's something so fun about whacking enemies with a giant wrench lol. Also, I love the RATS. They're so cute :') All joking aside though, when I first played it, I was actually genuinely surprised with the turn the story takes towards the end of the demo. I'm certainly curious about the rest of this world that the game is set in and I can't wait to see the other areas and how the story progresses as the game gets fully released later in the year.1 found this helpful
