This Way Madness Lies

This is a short turn-based JRPG for people who enjoy silly stories and don't want to get stuck in marathon epics. You play as Imogen, who goes to school and directs plays by day, then slips into Shakespearean dimensions to deal with nightmare forces, and still makes it home for dinner. The mood is light and funny. What hooks you: - Battles are turn-based and worth thinking about: abilities from several characters can be combined, so one good combo can settle a whole fight. - The Shakespearean dialogue sounds heavy at first, but the old English translator quickly takes care of that and adds plenty of jokes. - It fits a weekend or a few evenings well, when you want a change of pace after big projects. - Characters like Paulina, Viola and Beatrice stick with you, and talking to them makes the trip through the metaverse more lively. After payment you get a Steam activation key for the Global region, shown right on your order page. Just activate it in the Steam client and the game is ready to launch. If you want to buy the This Way Madness Lies key, checkout takes just a moment. Let us begin our tale, in the quiet city of Verona, Italy. A town for lovers... and giant, mutant flower attacks.
