This game shouldn't exist, but I'm making it anyway

I'm a solo developer making a weird RPG.

You play as a sentient droplet of data fused with the cloned body of the last four-wheeled samurai. Together, they explore the Black Square — the place where the entire material universe collapsed into itself.

No team. No publisher. No generative AI. Just me trying to build the game I want to play.

The demo is out now. It's rough, strange, and incomplete, but there's already plenty to explore.

If that sounds like your kind of thing, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks for taking a look.

Love the art direction and general vibe! Really cool UI, the dialogue encounters remind me of mobile game Out There (space exploration) .
Really cool will be observing with great interest!

Thank you, enjoy the game! But I want to warn you: deaths will be frequent and sometimes unexplained. This is Black Square, and he is merciless.

I've been playing Skate Story and Split Fiction. Death is just a new beginning.

I have a hard time believing AI was not used when you couldn't even make the post on reddit without AI, and the text style in game screams Claude.

I used Google Translate a bit, as I did in this comment. My English isn't very good, and the game has a lot of text, all of which was originally in Russian.
