The Adventures of Badgersaw

Badgersaw is a dark comedy RPG in which 3 protagonists are forced to navigate a bizarre environment. The further they go, the more strange and unsettling things they encounter, but between constant arguments and a slew of protagonist banter, the three find themselves in deeper water than they anticipated.

The game is a hybrid between classic adventure games and dark fantasy RPGs. It has a heavy emphasis on dialogue and managing limited resources.

The game presents an unsettling dark fantasy world from the perspective of three aloof adventurers simply trying to find a way out of a dungeon they accidently got trapped in. The game rewards forethought and preparation, and acting too carelessly may force you to finish your quest early. 

Curious players will find their way out whilst also uncovering more about the dark machinations prevalent in the world around them. In particular dying and game over also results in narrative glimpses into how the character's relationships develop under stress, or provide insights into the world and its history. Multiple playthroughs are encouraged to find everything, and astute players will find ways to complete everything in a single playthrough.

The combat requires to player to synergize the strengths of the three members, who each have their own resource in lieu of traditional MP with different rules for each character. There is no simple way to restore HP, so the player will have to think about the long haul through the dungeon if they hope to uncover everything. Eventually, the party will unlock items, equipment and new abilities allow players to customize the protagonist's combat roles and develop a unique playstyle.
