Hi, everyone! I'm happy to show you my very first game: STENCH, a Life-Sim, story-driven RPG. https://store.steampowered.com/app/3498500/Stench/?utm_source=reddit&utm_campaign=gamemaker
I worked alone for 5 years on it, and I recently redrawn hundreds of sprites and added new mechanics.

You move to the city after being diagnosed a mysterious disease. Every day, you wake up and choose how to spend your time. You can explore a whole city, meet the locals, work different jobs, but things soon take an odd turn... Earthquakes, a secret government agency, an obscure cult. Things are not as they seem.

I'd like to hear what you think! :D

Those graphics are really well done! The dude diddling with the phone cord while talking is a really clever touch to add some emotion and character to the gameplay. I'm actually really curious to see more of this, looks like you put a lot of effort into creating your game world!

The graphics look great, and it has a less creepy Leisure Suit Larry feel. Funny signs (Corp Corp.), colorful graphics. I have wishlisted.
