SYNONYM:
a MOTHER-inspired scifi RPG set in another solar system, far from Earth, in a distant future…
A new governing organization, simply titled “The Collective”, has been formed to prevent further devastation after the end of an intergalactic war.
The Collective seeks to spread peace by strictly enforcing equality… no matter the cost.
…
You play as Osco, a Kaenaran in his mid 20’s who’s a little too chubby and in need of a job.
One night, in your dreams, you are contacted by a mysterious soon-to-be-ally.
He warns you that you, and your brother, are in grave danger, and that you must meet with him as soon as possible.
…Looks like finding a job won’t be so hard after all…

A little more info:
I only recently began development on this game, so most of what you see here is in an early stage and subject to change.
This will be my first real project. I am, as of posting this, working on everything on my own. I’ll try to work on this when I can.
I am using lua with the LÖVE framework to create this.
I will post updates (infrequently) here and on my Twitter.
Thanks for taking the time to read this! I hope I managed to capture your interest… keep an eye out for upcoming updates!
