Our take on Cricket: Jae's Really Peculiar Game
The store pitch gives substantial attention to throwing objects at NPCs, unusual settings, and irreverent interactions. Those elements sit within a party-based JRPG focused on loss, timed combat, exploration, and six playable characters, so the broader role-playing structure is easier to overlook.
What is Cricket: Jae's Really Peculiar Game?
Join Jae and his friends on a journey to Yimmelia, a fabled place on the moon said to grant wishes, as Jae tries to change the past after a devastating loss.
Explore forests, cities, a rock concert, and a fandom convention, using dashes and charges that can affect objects and people. NPC interactions can influence events and combat: talk to them, throw things, or leave. Battles use timed attacks, defense, a meter, and duo or trio moves with party members. The game has six playable characters, and combat performance affects XP, items, and money.
It has no random encounters or grinding. Party members comment on nearby places and enemies, or check in with one another. The soundtrack was composed by Shane Mesa and Tomoya Tomita.
