I can't stress enough how delightful this was. Love the style, love the accessibility options, love the story so far.

A story-rich turn-based RPG where you battle social anxiety, forage mushrooms, and stumble into a corporate conspiracy with your trusty pig.

11) Hermit & Pig de @heavylunchco.bsky.social Un RPG absurdo de combate por turnos en el que un hermitaño y su cerdo tendrán que solventar una conspiración mientras evitamos que la ansiedad social de nuestro protagonista le supere. El 22/1/26 nos llega a PC en español youtu.be/OSMhNNnsAa4?...

Hermit and Pig is shaping up to be somethin good! Particularly enjoy the combat, which asks you to really study the encounter. It has shades of stuff like Earthbound, but it's very unique and I love it.

Thanks for letting me check it out, @heavylunchco.bsky.social!
