8-Bit Adventures 2

8-Bit Adventures 2 is a turn-based JRPG about a group of seven playable characters trying to save the world from the Glitch, a mistreated child with impossible powers. A famous hero has disappeared, and the Glitch’s survival may mean humanity’s destruction. As the story unfolds, the Glitch changes and grapples with what he is and what he could be.
