I have no clue what i just played, but it might be better this way, the game has cool music and kinda trippy visuals at sometimes, only complaint is that i still have no clue what the backstory is, although this once again might be for the betterment of the game

The Past Rhapsody is a short fantasy role-playing game developed and published by Haruko Games. Instead of attempting to deliver the enormous world, lengthy campaign, and complicated progression systems normally associated with traditional RPGs, it concentrates on a much smaller and more personal adventure. Designed to last roughly an hour, the game combines old-school role-playing conventions with an emotional story about friendship, rivalry, memories, and uncomfortable discoveries. Its modest scope is immediately noticeable, but the focused structure also gives the experience a distinct identity as something closer to an interactive RPG short story than a conventional full-length adventure. At the center of the story are Pavel and Hori, two characters connected by a complicated lifelong friendship and rivalry. Pavel enters the afterlife and finds himself traveling through strange and dangerous places while searching for a path back to the world of the living. Hori accompanies him on this unusual journey, creating opportunities for their relationship to become increasingly important as the adventure progresses. Their situation gives the supernatural premise a surprisingly persona…

The best part about this game is that it may inspire you to make your own RPGMaker game and do better. I'd recommend it for that reason, but I hate reviews that recommend games when they don't actually think the game is good. Seems like some kind of inside joke that someone made for their friend group and inexplicably decided to publish it on Steam. The map design is just...wow.
