Our take on Ouroboros
Time travel is the defining structure: events can be manipulated across alternate paths while the familiar rescue quest gradually becomes a mystery about repetition and hidden causes.
What is Ouroboros?
Ouroboros is an RPG adventure set in a cheerful world marked by disturbing signs that the hero's quest has happened before.
The princess-rescue premise and dungeon encounters serve as distractions from investigating the underlying truth. Time travel lets the story move through multiple alternate paths, while newly discovered strategies and techniques replace character-level progression. Combat is fast, and enemies appear visibly so they can be avoided. The game includes more than 5 hours of gameplay, with over 12 scenes and 50 images. Its structure combines role-playing elements with a self-referential story that treats the expected quest as part of a larger mystery.
