Monochrome RPG Episode One Now on Kickstarter
Monochrome RPG Episode One: A Punny Rubber Hose Adventure has launched on Kickstarter, and this looks to be a gorgeous indie title done in the style of 1920’s cartoons and silent animation. The gimmick not only looks like it will be an enjoyable experience, but it also looks like a solid quirky RPG along the same vein as Earthbound (Mother 1 & 2).
The game is planning on releasing across all major platforms, including the Nintendo Switch, but like other Kickstarter projects, it needs our support. Earlier this year, DVNC Tech released a short demo video to show off the game’s potential, but the Kickstarter campaign promises so much more.
What is Monochrome RPG?
You’ll play as Otto, a (not for long) lone comedian, who sets out for stardom on the journey of a lifetime after his daily routine is ruined!
You head to work after a maniacal morning, trek through grim grey-shaded valleys solving the farmers’ and tools’ problems, deal with the heaps of trouble plaguing the villagers in Talent Town, and try to help Captain Smokestack fix the broken Barge.
Monochrome RPG is a punny rubber-hose narrative adventure! Monochrome Episode One starts players on a genre-breaking journey of epic proportions. Live out your dreams of being a comedian by building your own troupe, entertaining enemies, and discovering the secrets of Vaudeville.
With a clever and charming comedic tone, Monochrome RPG juxtaposes a cheerful and happy face with the grey morality of many toons’ lives. Can you beat the odds and save them, or will you prove to be another one-hit wonder?
