Our take on CESSPOOL
The store page foregrounds Luna’s search and the unusual setting, but gives little shape to the game’s main interaction. The minimalist JRPG label and mini-game reference establish the format without explaining what those mini-games involve or how they organize the journey.
What is CESSPOOL?
CESSPOOL follows Luna, a wanderer searching for her lost monkey, Tom.
Her journey takes place in the Cesspool, a world of strange, psychedelic ruins. The game is presented as a minimalist JRPG in which actions are performed through mini-games. Its central structure combines Luna’s search for Tom with travel through the unusual setting. The store description identifies the protagonist, her goal, the setting, and the mini-game-based action system, but does not provide details about the individual mini-games.
