Oh! RPG!

Oh! RPG! is a humorous role-playing adventure told from the perspective of the people usually treated as non-player characters. The world is coming to an end after the heroes’ ludicrous failure, and they return home to spend what time remains with their loved ones. Instead of playing the heroes, you play the people who help them along the way.

The game has eight chapters, each with a different protagonist, atmosphere, gameplay style and optional content. The story moves between places such as awe-inspiring castles and a remote peasant village, and between powerful enemies and pathetic slimes. Its protagonists include an upbeat Jester, a quick-witted Goblin and members of a hero’s family.

The heroes

The heroes are Harold, Therese, Marsha and Lucius. They never join battles directly, but you can use the special skill Hero Calls to summon them; after waiting for them to arrive, they perform a powerful move. The move differs between battles according to where each hero is in the story.

• Harold: a level-headed farm boy who dreams of seeing the world and tries to befriend everyone he meets. He is always ready to help and is an expert cow milker.
• Therese: a tough princess who trained as a knight so she could leave the castle. She uses her title to get her way, can be impatient and cold toward others, and is an expert at judging people.
• Marsha: a mischievous girl with a mysterious past whose lighthearted behavior often gets her into trouble. She wants to matter to those around her and is an expert at playing tricks.
• Lucius: a priest who questions his teachings, helps people without seeking thanks and is often stiff and somewhat sarcastic. He is an expert at disapproving books.
