Released!


Hello!
I've been very busy finishing up the last bits of the game, but now I'm really happy with it and happy to get it out and into people's hands.

You can download and play the game on windows right now! You can see it in action below!

Finishing Thoughts
This project was only meant to be a warmup thing before I started on some more "serious" ideas, but I was still a little surprised at how easily I let myself get sucked into spending a few extra days messing around and improving things.

Looking at the concept of an RPG you play in your file explorer, there's so much more that could be done with it. It's so easy to throw in more content, and there are a lot of ways that the player can interact with the game world that I never took advantage of (editing a file's contents, renaming files as a form of input, etc.).  One big problem you're always fighting against is the fact that you're not actually meant to be using the file explorer for playing game! Who'd have thought?! So there are a lot of interactions you have to guard against, like copying files, or renaming folders while they're still open.

Either way, I'm super happy I've made this, and I hope some people out there get a kick out of this. I don't really think games should be free, so if you like this, then please take a look at anything I make in the future. 

:)
