You nailed the game mechanics of 90% of RPGs, @shah_med. Side note: I used to play a ton of JRPGs when I was a kid. Maybe I had a better imagination now they feel very slow and repetitive.

Now THIS is narrative design - on the edge of my seat for Chapter 2!

This was a fun way to waste 5 minutes! Love how simple it is. Reminds me of the old browser based games of yesterday!

@treggify Thanks for playing, Tregg! I do miss those the days of flash games. One weird thing I realized I had to account for is making the game with responsive design! Any favorite flash games from back in the day?

Hi Product Hunt! I wanted to see if I could make a demo for an RPG that lived completely in the browser and only used React. So I wanted to share the results! It was a ton of fun getting it to this point and is a backbone I will use to build a full RPG (with fancy assets and animations). If there is interest I will happily make a repo for this. Would love to know what you think! Thanks, Shah

@tim_panov thanks for checking it out, Timofey! let me know if there's a pixel aesthetic/game you like, looking for inspiration for V2 assets.

great game and the story is reminiscent of the feuding between the Grangerford and Shepherdson families from Mark Twain's beloved novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

@kevon Thanks, Kevin! I know it's a little cheeky, but I fundamentally believe you can tell rich stories even with a low fidelity UI. Looking forward to V2.

excellent game, brings me back to the sense of adventure that drew me to pokemon and zelda back in the day!

I love the pixel style here. I am making a retro game myself and was having trouble creating the buttons. I just found my inspiration.
