PEPPERED is an existential platformer where you have ONE SHOT at everything.
Every choice, every boss battle, and every failure impact the branching plotline and determine how the story will go and how it will end. Will you save the world - or fail miserably?
SYNOPSIS
Seeing apathy in the face of doomsday, an office intern decides to save the world by themselves. But the world responds by summoning the police, angry mobs, and the media, branding them as a terrorist.
KEY FEATURES
■ BRANCHING NARRATIVE Multiple endings. Multiple story routes. Your failures and choices affect the story, which branches out heavily — sometimes taking you to completely unique locations with unique scenes, characters, or gameplay mechanics.
■ PLATFORMING ACTION Run. Jump. Die. Scream at the screen.
■ ONE-SHOT BOSS FIGHTS Challenging boss fights! If you lose, the game will not reset or give you a second chance — it will go on, incorporating your loss and changing the story accordingly.
■ CHOICES Make story choices, ranging from dialogue responses to actions. These will either affect the characters, the scene's outcome, or the ending you get.
■ STEALTH SECTIONS Get caught, sneak past, or find a secret solution. Every section features a unique character, permanent outcomes, and dumb gags.
■ EXPLORATION Immerse yourself in a bizarre world full of weirdos and sad people! Talk with colorful NPCs, poke around the environment, or ignore it all.
■ COMPLETELY RANDOM CR*P Maybe you'll have to use a shopping cart to run away from thugs? Perhaps you'll have to write a presentation or gamble with a street corner lunatic? Who knows? (I do.)
■ AN OFFICE CHAIR You can spin in it.

A lovely little platformer about the inevitability of death. Peppered had me hooked after only 10 minutes, and I went for every single ending. If you enjoy platformers, branching narratives, pixel art, or just a good story, I can recommend Peppered.

I really like this game a lot, but I cannot recommend it at all, not because it is bad, but because it upsets me about how much potential has been WASTED here. For instance, there are 3 major problems that I noticed while doing all endings, two of them being also spoilers so read it at your own risk:
First, the game is a story-driven plataformer game, which looks great on paper but in reality it's not really, since the game underperforms the plataformer aspect. If you remove the story and make it solely a plataformer it becomes bad, it is not fun nor really hard once you master the controls, most of the obstacles the game throws against you are rather annoying, with some exceptions.
Second, the entirety of the golf section. It is a nice silly minigame and all but did it really had to become an ENTIRE SECTION?
Third [THIS ONE IS A MAJOR SPOILER], some of the most interesting antagonists are simply left behind, and we don't get to interact with them at ALL. This may be a me issue, but...

I highly recommend this platformer.
It has a great story, which you have to figure out in multiple playthroughs (you can save before certain decisions), because your choices and actions to matter.
The artstyle was cool, the music fitting.
I needed some time to get good, but ultimately, I got all the endings.
The humour is on point as well. There are some easter eggs too.
Just the golf part of the game, oh god I hate it.
I'd play a sequel.

Pretty good game! Loved the world, story, and characters, the soundtrack is generally good, and the visual style is really fun! The platforming is pretty simple, but is easy to learn how to use smoothly, especially when you learn how to slide jump. The mechanic that the last two worlds focus on is pretty fun, but good god can it be annoying sometimes. Good game though, worth the price!
also i want to make out with main character passionately
