This is a 30+ hour RPG that was mostly developed entirely by one person, which is very impressive for the amount of content it has. Though I wouldn’t say I loved it quite as much as some other RPGMaker games I’ve played as I felt the combat brought it down a bit. An interesting system with the numerous forms Jimmy can turn into and clearly meant to be more difficult than the norm, but the frequent enemy encounters literally every few seconds and heavy grinding needed for bosses was excessive, it dragged the game on longer than it probably needed to be. The characters (Jimmy’s family and occasional others that join the party temporarily) were all pretty bland to me also which was an issue when the game’s so heavily focused on them in the story

But aside for those issues it’s still quite good and clearly made with a lot of heart. Has a creative world with plenty of varied islands/continents and a meaningful amount of optional areas to explore. Given the kind of games this is obviously inspired by, its mix of light hearted and horror aspects was well done, and while the characters were a weak point for me the story it tells was intriguing nonetheless. The music’s great too! Lot of unique tracks all over the place and I never got tired of listening to the overworld theme
