About R.I.C.A


A little girl, inadvertently broke into an abandoned castle, finding her cat that was separated from her. However, she suddenly found out that she seemed to be trapped in this castle. Just as the girl looked for ways to get out of here, she found that she didn't seem to be the only one who came in here...

This castle once belonged to the famous Duke Shewell's family, and it is said that the people in this castle suddenly disappeared a hundred years ago. It is time for you to unlock the hidden secret in this place.

In this game, the character you operate is Hinata, a normal school girl.
(You can see the game trailer and those screenshots.)

Besides Hinata, there are two more characters in this game, and you have to find out them by yourself. Because they are part of this story.

This game is a single player adventure game. All you have to do is to explore the castle, solve various kinds of puzzles, and follow the storyline. It is not particularly a horrific game, and some puzzles are somehow a little bit challenging. So I'm hoping you will enjoy the process of solving puzzles, and also enjoy the story of RICA.

Controls:

Moving: ↑ ↓ ← → ,
Dash: Shift,
Menu: X, Esc,
Enter: Z, Space, Enter,

This game contains two endings, a normal ending and a true ending.
Both endings take the same amount of time to achieve.

Normally it will take you 2 hours to complete one ending, but once you finish it, it will take you less amount of time to finish it again.

The BGM in this game is composed by Seldom Ludious, so please do not republish it to somewhere else.

And finally, hope you guys will enjoy it!!!

One of the biggest advantages of RPGMAKER games is the easy ability to make a quality puzzle game with a handful of sprites and items, and this game made a good game out of, essentially, odds and ends. For the puzzles themselves, I enjoyed them for the fact that there was enough challenge to keep it from being child's play, but a few did prove to be too much for my smoove brain. I did have to utilize the walkthrough a time or two (less than usual, surprisingly enough), and for the size of the game, I thought it wasn't a bad way to burn 3 hours to grind some achievements and put another game in the ol' "victory" folder. I would've expected the "normal" ending to play out more like "Mad Father" to make grinding for the "true" ending more satisfying, but all and all I can't judge a whole lot from what this is. 7 cat's that almost got me killed in a game out of 10.

Short and a bit disturbing story. Nice rpgmaker graphics, I recommend playing through to get all the endings.

Игра 'R.I.C.A.' - это динамичный и захватывающий шутер от первого лица, который оставляет смешанные, но в целом положительные впечатления. Сюжет, хоть и не самый оригинальный, держит в напряжении благодаря интересным персонажам и разветвленной системе диалогов, позволяющей влиять на развитие истории. Самое главное достоинство игры - это, безусловно, геймплей. Управление отзывчивое, стрельбы ощущаются мощно, а возможность использовать различные гаджеты и тактические приемы делает бои разнообразными и увлекательными. Особенно впечатляет ИИ противников, которые активно маневрируют, используют укрытия и координируют свои действия, заставляя игрока постоянно адаптироваться. Однако, не обошлось и без недостатков. Графика, хоть и приятная глазу, не хватает звезд с неба и местами выглядит устаревшей. Также, встречаются незначительные баги и проблемы с оптимизацией, что может немного подпортить впечатление от игры. В целом, 'R.I.C.A.' - это крепкий шутер, который, несмотря на свои недостатки, предлагает игрокам динамичный и увлекательный геймплей, интересную историю и умных противников. Рекомендую его всем поклонникам жанра, особенно тем, кто ищет игру с тактическим уклоном.

RPG Maker strikes again! "R.I.C.A" is one of hundreds of low effort retro-pixel RPG Maker asset/construction kit flips spamming the Steam catalog, made with the RPG Maker video game construction kit... in their own words, "Our easy to use tools are simple enough for a child." Like all RPG Maker "games", this is essentially a bunch of low quality/canned assets from RPG Maker coupled with a cringeworthy high school anime club fan fiction. Notably, the "developer" couldn't work out how to use RPG Maker to make a JRPG (the only thing it can do, and it's terrible at it). Instead, we have a completely garbage adventure/e-book "game" made out of flipped RPG assets, and wow, the subject is a little underage girl. Why are so many RPG Maker asset flips obsessed with underaged anime girls? This is incredibly creepy and cringey. As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full HD support or any graphics tweaking options, making this unacceptable for any dedicated modern PC gamer. The point can be made that the intention of RPG Maker is to make demos and small games to pass around friends, and shouldn't be used for "professional" g…

Nice story driven game with puzzles but were too easy. Some object usage doesn't make sense especially at the early parts of the story. Still, I enjoyed it overall
