Legendary Gary

Legendary Gary follows Gary as he tries to become a better person while dealing with his ordinary life and playing a fantasy adventure called Legend of the Spear. As his story unfolds, he discovers that the fantasy is more than it seems. You guide his choices about what to say and do, while his decisions affect the lives of his friends and family.

Gary’s life

Between gaming sessions, Gary faces difficult choices in his everyday life. You act like his subconscious, guiding what he says and does as the people around him come to depend on him.

Legend of the Spear

In the fantasy game Gary plays, the hero and their friends travel through strange lands and fight creatures in hand-to-hand combat. Battles take place on a hexagonal grid, where every fighter acts simultaneously on each turn. You choose an action for each party member and can see how the turn will resolve before committing; there are no dice rolls or time pressure.

Enemies use new tactics as you progress, making encounters more difficult. You gain more moves as you venture on, creating different ways to solve each battle. The combat is designed as a low-pressure exercise in problem solving.
