**You can play two ways: In-Browser (just hit the Run Game button above) or Downloaded (Windows-only, download the .zip file below)**

**If you manage to break the game (congrats!) simply reload the page or exit & relaunch the .exe file if downloaded. And maybe send me an email on how you broke it! bearrsona@gmail.com**

**While playing in-browser, you may have an "out of memory" error pop up most of the way through the demo. Sorry :( I am working to fix that  I think I fixed this, so let me know if it happens to you!**


DISCOvery is a turn-based RPG that puts you in the shoes of a corporate explorer tasked with charting new lifeforms on previously undocumented planets. As you scan more flora & fauna, you will learn new, more powerful combat moves. Combat is rhythm based, with each "move" being typed out by the player with set timing. The better your timing, and the more complex the word, the more damage you do! As time goes on, you will meet a sentient race that inhabits the planet and face a seemingly insurmountable foe, but this demo focuses on the leisurely task of exploration.

I am a solo dev making this game based on an idea I sketched up with back in 2017, but never had the courage to actually pursue. I worked your standard 9-5 corporate job for 4 years, but when I got laid off back in January and struggled to find a new job, I decided to finally give this game development thing a try. 6 months and a few hundred hours later, I've got a demo I'm proud to show off!

I am open to any and all feedback, whether it be bugs, suggestions, or ideas! You can reach me at bearrsona@gmail.com, or comment on this page. Thanks!!
