Through the Kill Screen

RPG Maker strikes again! "Through the Kill Screen" 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. Of course, there are some custom "assets" here, too, you can tell because they look even worse than the usual Kadokawa/RPG Maker stock assets that "amateur" developers typically rip off. Notably the developer here couldn't work out how to use RPG Maker to make an RPG... and that's the only thing RPG Maker can do properly... except it's not even very good for making RPGs. Instead, we have a 1980's inspired "adventure" game with a collection of crap, badly made minigames using basic components of RPG Maker MV... and they are craptastically bad. No wonder the "developer" had to pay Russians to write fake reviews for the game. As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full …

Awesome '80s childhood experience!

Through the Kill Screen is definitely a game that you don't come across a lot. It has amazing writing, funny PG13 humor, and everything is from the perspective of children. It makes the game, with its childlike innocence, a very unique experience. The simplistic pixel art graphics definitely fit the style and story of the game, and if anything makes it more immersive. The game has multiple endings too if you are into that. The game also warns you sometimes to save, but does it in a way that feels immersive rather than it just being a prompt, which i very much appreciated. I would love to see more of mister James' work in the future, since i really admire his creative brain! ps. this review is not bias even tho grammar cat is based on my likeness

A rather interesting game in which we can explore the town and find out a lot of interesting things, in addition, there is a system of improvement of the character and good music. In this game the devil knows what's going on and you are the master. The most important thing to know is that when the rocks fall out, the soup is not cooked, there are explosions and aliens are attacking.

A cool 8-bit game with well-designed RPG elements and pleasant musical accompaniment. The bosses in the game are heavy and interesting, and the PVP system is worked out in detail. Thanks to this game, I managed to return to my childhood for a while and get nostalgic.

After 6 days of waiting for someone to help me pass this one part of the game when I left a post in discussion, the dev said that I needed to use the shoe to get out of the room in the yellow house. To me, that’s just crazy that someone would think of having to do that. Like, you would have to do it immediately after entering the room. I even tried to ask people in the reviews section, who had their review open for comments, for help and none of them helped me after 1 day even though they were online (I then deleted my comments on their review after the dev helped me). I even searched online for answers and nothing is there except a youtube video but that girl hasn’t continued playing the game. Anyways, after using the shoe, I tried to use the door and text comes up and then goes away. The bears come closer and they can kill you in one hit. I make my way past them and go up stairs. Talking to the evil guy does nothing. I go into the room with the computer and Gary talks to you even though he isn’t in the party. I try to use every item in the room. I then leave the house and now you are put all the back in the game near the start and softlocked in the game. It’s crazy. I then did …
