About Sorbetta: Gravely in Debt
https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/1231740/extras/Story.png
When Sorbetta loses almost everything in a game of Blackjack, she realizes she has a serious gambling problem. Thankfully she was able to get help for her gambling addiction and also borrow what she needed to pay off her debts from her cousin. However, was this loan divine providence, or a deal with the devil? Join Sorbetta as she tries to not only earn the money (plus interest) to pay back her cousin, but also find four fantastical treasures that will ensure Sorbetta is never bothered by Sherberta again.
It's not as if the treasures are just garbage, and Sorbetta is probably wasting her time, right?
...Right?!

The protagonist of this lovely story. A necromancer by trade, she practices when she is able using all manner of bodies, both human and otherwise, to hone her skills. Unfortunately, she developed a fondness for Blackjack. A big fondness. Some bad decisions and a couple thousand gold later, she is now trying her best to pay off her over-bearing and bossy cousin.
Also a necromancer, like her cousin, however she specializes more with incorporeal beings rather than flesh and blood bodies. Self-serving, and ever the opportunist, she saw a perfect chance to profit off her cousin's little...problem. Even though she can be quite demanding and even a bit bullish, there does beat a heart of gold somewhere in that blue bombshell. Or, more likely, a heart that beats for gold.
When it comes to the color of their skin and the outlandish attire they both love to wear, neither woman is forthcoming with an explanation. Perhaps some things are best left unexplained?
Not much is known about Sorbetta's business associate. The piano mimic spends his days in the basement bar, The Dusty Femur, longing for the day he'll get brought up to the first floor. Maybe he's just lonesome?

That certainly was A Game I'm not gonna be too nice here because I'm tired and my thoughts are very fresh in my head instead of getting to stew abit in the back of my brain for half a day. So, sorry for The Bitchyness of it all. SO. I got the bad ending even though I'm preeeetty sure I had all the right gear? And honestly I dont care enough to go back and figure it out. Honestly having a bad ending that won't even let me TRY to beat the everloving ♥♥♥♥ out of my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of a cousin is really, REALLY lame. If the whole "family" thing is supposed to be a joke, it landed terribly. It's lighthearted enough, but at some points feels like it actually wants me to give half a ♥♥♥♥, but the comedy around it doesnt add to the characters to the point it is completely Impossible to care. It seems like it vaguely tries to give characters their own character Voices, (eg. cousin seeming to have a mobster-y vibe) but quickly just Gives Up. And even is bad about using random turns of phrase that don't fit previous parts of the character (like one saying "ya" instead of "you" or Key-Neau called Sorbetta "kid" precisely Once towards the end No character has their own voice. It's generic. I got numb t…3 found this helpful

Игра 'Sorbetta: Gravely in Debt' - это приятный, хотя и немного короткий rogue-lite с элементами симулятора управления магазином. Визуально игра выполнена в милом, мультяшном стиле, который отлично сочетается с лёгким и юмористическим тоном истории. Игровой процесс затягивает: вы управляете Сорбеттой, которой нужно выплатить огромный долг, собирая ингредиенты в подземельях и продавая мороженое в своем магазине. Геймплей цикличен: исследование подземелий, сбор ресурсов, крафт новых рецептов и удовлетворение потребностей покупателей. Сражения довольно просты, но разнообразие врагов и апгрейдов поддерживает интерес. Система прокачки и открытия новых рецептов заставляет возвращаться снова и снова. Хоть некоторые механики могут показаться немного поверхностными, в целом игра предлагает забавный и расслабляющий опыт. Особенно хочется отметить забавные диалоги и колоритных персонажей. "Sorbetta: Gravely in Debt" - неплохой выбор для тех, кто ищет ненавязчивый rogue-lite с очаровательным стилем и не сложным геймплеем.
RPG Maker strikes again! "Sorbetta: Gravely in Debt" 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. There's a comedy theme to this, adding on to the usual high school anime club fanfiction writing, but it's completely unfunny. 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 development. Like most RPG Maker shovelware and asset flips, the game features extremely low quality copy + pasted 2D retro pixel art, looks awful, and has even worse gameplay. RPG Maker is an absolutely terrible construction kit, and never …
This is an actually fun RPG maker game, (It's my second). That I actually play it till the end.
