Hello! Welcome to the page for the demo of my first game, Opus Torrentia!
Opus Torrentia is a surreal exploration RPG with inspiration from the classics such as Earthbound and Yume Nikki. (it’s a quirky RPGmaker game, what do you want from me?) It has strange environments, curious characters, fun abilities, puzzles, minigames and secretssss!
"An unwritten story. Infinite possibilities before you.
How terrifying, yet, it's exciting, no?"
Choose to bear the Story Book and enter the world of Opus Torrentia. Bearing the book is as simple or complicated as you make it. Engage with the world, engage with the characters, and engage with yourself, and the story of the world will reveal itself to you progressively through passages that appear in your Story Book. Some people need your help, some people just need company. But what do you need?

This game is what I call a “creative stream of consciousness”. Meaning, I mostly just keep building on the ideas I have with no particular end goal in mind. This game is a creative exercise, more than anything, for me to practice art and learn how to let go of my perfectionism. However, it’s not all about me! I still tried to make it enjoyable for others playing it and if weird RPGs are your thing I think you’ll enjoy the game.
Almost finally, I want to thank a few people. Firstly, thanks to my friend radi8on for most of the banger songs you will hear. Secondly, thanks to my gang Mike, Tiva and Adam for play testing the game for me as well as giving me a few good ideas I did implement here. And lastly, of course, thank YOU for taking the time to check out my game. I know there are a lot of projects out there so I appreciate your time immensely! I have put a lot of love and effort into this game and I hope you will be able to feel it.
FINALLY finally, if you encounter any bugs, glitches, visual hiccups, whatever, please let me know! We only tested on Windows so if you're on Mac or Linux it is possible that there may be issues. I would also love to hear what you think of the game afterwards :) Well I think that’s enough from me. Take it away, tagline!

Go experience the world. Learn and grow. Even when it is scary, even when it is fun.

I can't wait to dive into this unique exploration RPG. The creative stream of consciousness and art is a great way to practice letting go of perfectionism while still having fun!
You look like the type of person who'd enjoy this jam: WOW JAM
They have a very interesting platform and are even offering prizes xD
I saw your game on twitter and decided to check it. I love the art! I like the environments and the characters. Not sure if I found everything, but it was fun exploring and talking to everyone I found. I liked all the dogs on the train tracks level.
Some things to note I saw, when remembering to returning to the person who tells you about the book, the dialogue "we are thankful for your visit, and your conversation." ends up running off the screen or at least it did for me. Also when giving the necktie, I think it still stays in your inventory. I shared a link with some friends and told them about your game. I'm curious about what else the game has in store, I look forward to seeing more!
Thanks so much for the play and the review!!
I did fix the text issue you mentioned, I just didn't upload that version yet, so sorry you ran into that!
And yep, you're right. The necktie should NOT still be there. I admit I added that area without fully testing it so that's my bad. I'll fix that right now and upload the new version shortly!
Thanks again so much for playing and leaving a review :)) im glad you like it!!
