About Shu's Misfortune

Shu's Misfortune is a sample RPG made in RPG Maker MZ by Moonana, the creator of the quirky RPG Virgo vs the Zodiac.

Features:
  • Challenging ATB combat where all decisions must be made quickly and swiftly.
  • Interact with all objects you can see in this tightly knit desert kingdom.
  • Around 1 hour long journey through what was once a fashionable society.
  • Lots of secrets, items and quests to be discovered.
  • Charming friends and foes to meet along the way.
  • One bonus track made by Elektrobear!

RPG Maker strikes again! Shu's Misfortune 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. this is a bizarre and frankly awful JRPG with a weird "fashion" theme that just doesn't work, along with all the normal high school anime club dropout fanfiction writing, bad map design, flipped RPG Maker assets... ugh. At least they're not trying to get money for this, but I think this should be a paid product. They should pay me for the time I wasted playing this garbage. 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" game de…

Short rpg, but free so that's OK. Just a rpg fan's way of passing half a day.

I would have kind of liked this small-scaled game, if Shu wasn't a monster who kills everything in one hit, and the map design is confusing on where the player should go. Please take this advice to improve on future projects.

Игра 'Shu's Misfortune' – это трогательная и мрачноватая приключенческая игра, где игрок управляет юной Шу, преследуемой неким Теневым существом. Атмосфера пропитана лёгкой грустью и детской непосредственностью, а необычный визуальный стиль, выполненный как будто акварелью, создаёт уникальную и запоминающуюся картинку. Геймплей строится на исследовании мира, решении простых головоломок и, конечно же, убегании от преследователя. Иногда игра может показаться немного медленной, но это компенсируется очаровательным повествованием и взаимодействием Шу с окружающим миром. Сюжет кажется простым, но в нём скрыты более глубокие темы, заставляющие задуматься о жизни, потерях и принятии судьбы. 'Shu's Misfortune' – это не просто игра, это интерактивная сказка, которая оставляет после себя приятное послевкусие и лёгкую меланхолию. Рекомендую тем, кто ценит атмосферные игры с трогательной историей.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.
