Second Chances

The best thing about indie games is that their story can take a more intimate, everyday tone, while also exploring some of life's frustrating complexities, while fully maintaining the creator's creative vision. Blending the familiar RPG setting as a catalyst for both story and gameplay works wonders in structuring the plot.

The world is beautifully crafted, full of detail and atmosphere that pulls you right in. One of the best things is that there's no grinding you can enjoy the adventure without repetitive tasks slowing you down. It also brings back that old-school RPG charm, with classic mechanics and a nostalgic feel that fans of the genre will appreciate. If you're into story-driven RPGs with heart and depth, this is definitely one to check out.

I've played the demo and I was intrigued to learn more about the characters. The gameplay resembles retro rpg games. Big bonus: in this game death is a red head

SECOND CHANCES - A PLEASANT SURPISE "Second chances" game doesn't need a second chance. It answers affirmatively to the question of whether you believe in love at first sight with a game (with people it's more complicated). By the years, as I grew up, I left behind my "gamer era", but eventually I started feeling nostaligic with this side of myself. So today I decided to search for a game to get back in touch with my inner child. I didn't want to pick a mainstream game to begin my journey as a "newborn" gamer and I preffered to give a chance to an upcoming-indie-game-developer. So I stepped into Deadpixel's first ever publication and I firmly believe that his/her piece of work can really guide the RPG based genre to the mainstream path again by keeping the roots of an authentic RPG-world building game and by adding his/her unique elements. As I wandered to the deep and spiritual world of "second chances" I experienced all kind of emotions and somehow I sympathised with the protagonist "Paul" who literally faces a Dante's inferno's like experience. I found some pieces of myself in this project and I believe a lot of people, who played the game, will identify with me. Does the…

Second Chances takes the familiar structure of a turn-based role-playing game and builds it around a much more personal subject: regret and the possibility of redemption. Developed by Deadpixel and published by indie.io, the game follows Paul Kimbel, an author who finds himself trapped between life and death. His path forward requires him to confront a strange world influenced by his imagination as well as the mistakes that brought him to this point.
