After suffering a devastating midlife crisis, the protagonist embarks on a life-changing journey through the land of Allegoria. He explores the region, gets to know its intricacies, and discovers the history and secrets of Allegoria. Players can explore the extensive map, explore dungeons, fight monsters and perfect the sophisticated mastery system. Thanks to the mature and tongue-in-cheek humour that parodies classic GameBoy RPGs, the game really makes everyone chuckle. The monochrome visuals transform turn-based combat into a real nostalgia trip with a modern twist.
Key Features:

From the frying pan into the fire - Following his midlife crisis, the protagonist decides to go on a journey through the land of Allegoria - and promptly must stand his ground against countless murderous monsters.

High-Level-Upgrades – Allegoria is filled to the brim with monster battles, therefore players need to be able to defend themselves well.

GameBoy Retro Look - A whole generation of video game fans are familiar with the legendary handheld from the 80s. Joe Picknell himself grew up with the aesthetic and knew straight away that he wanted this look for his debut work: an unusual nostalgic pixel artwork.
