Play it on Kongregate

    That was probably the shortest RPG ever created. But it was fun while it lasted, and led up to a gag.

    I just realised how many rats may have been cruelly slaughtered through jrpgs.

    Hilarious stuff. The shift to the battle music was brilliant.

    Fantastic! I really enjoy games like this that take a true to life look at what is commonplace in video games. Adventure on, pixel dude!
