Geon

Geon is a mostly linear, turn-based JRPG set in a near future with science-fiction and fantasy elements. The world is ruled by a ruthless despot known only as George. You play as a young man who fails the final test required to become a member of society and must leave home to travel the world. Along the way, you meet George, recruit party members and fight foes from beyond this world to prevent its destruction; one of those foes may not be who they seem.

Combat and exploration

Combat is turn-based, with varied enemies, moves and weapons that have different effects and types. Gun-type weapons, for example, attack multiple times but have a higher chance to miss. Puzzles and exploration also play a part, including minigames and interactions with certain NPCs.

Story and characters

The game places a strong emphasis on story and dialogue, exploring a range of topics in humorous, serious and surreal ways. You gain party members with different personalities, and they join or leave the party at certain points in the story.

Secrets and side areas

The world contains secrets, mysteries, side areas, dungeons and people to talk to. Searching its many areas can reveal things you might otherwise miss and help you progress.
