The Rainsdowne Players

[h1]In Short: Adorable and charming game that has an interesting playstyle and several fun mini-games to keep the player engaged and interested[/h1] https://youtu.be/Lw0JXHjKw8M https://youtu.be/OdIo61i_C2s This game...it's sort of difficult to explain properly. You play through the game as one of two main characters (whom you can name. In my game my viewers named them SANIC and Tails :P) trying to revive a rundown theater by putting on various plays. [i]How[/i] you produce the plays is one of the more interesting mechanics: you pick a different 'card' for the different plot points of the play (Subject, Location, Purpose, Encounter, and Outcome). You can either try and appease the audience by catering to their desires for what they want to see on stage, or go in your own weird path (Can anyone say ALL BEAR ALL THE TIME?!). When you act out the play, you have to be on your toes: the audience will throw things at you.[i]EVEN IF THEY LIKE YOU[/i]...one must suffer for their art, it seem...

If you're the kind of person who loves talking to every person in an RPG town, then this is the game for you! Everybody has something different to say and the plays are really customisable. The dodge mechanic is thankfully easy to learn in the early parts of the game for those who are rubbish at reaction times like I am, haha. It's a fun little game and the art is just super.

Long story short, The Rainsdowne Players is delightful, full of charm, and unique. If you're the type of person who enjoys games which focses on its great, lighthearted writing, but still have well-developed game mechanics that compliment the story, then you should strongly consider this game. You control two actors, a boy and a girl (both which you name) as they put on plays to entertain the people of the town. You'll go through the town as both characters to gather ideas for plays, such as possible settings, characters, or objects you can use. Then, you put these ideas together to compose a story. Each story has five parts: a main subject, a location, a goal for the subject, a twist, and an outcome. You can try figuring out good combinations of stories, but you are also encouraged to talk to people to gather hints on what they want to see in a play. With that said, you are also heckled during your plays; audience members will throw a variety of items at you during your play, and you...

WOW! I honestly didn't expect too much when I played it for the first 15 minutes. Small map. Uninteresting npcs. Repetitive. Then the story starts to unfold and more places are unlocked and if you don't like to play on the stage, you can still have other options to proceed with it which is a good idea. This game is very well balanced with regards to the pace of the story and the length of each round. It is definitely worth the price of under $5! I am only about 25-35% done with the game at 3.8hrs :)

A charming and fantastic RPG that manages to be full of expression despite on the surface being quite simple. From its pixel art and writing that depicts a vibrant and unique fantasy setting, to its series of minigames that cover everything from crafting and performing a play to card battles to fishing. Rainsdowne Players isn't without its rough edges but it's the kind of strange and wonderful little game that we absolutely need to see more of in this world.

This is a fun, simple game that requires a little bit of skill in reflexes to play. The idea of building up your fan base for your two person acting troupe is cute, and collecting cards and getting check marks in Snail's hint book were what really kept me playing this game before the story started to kick in. It's a very small environment that you're playing in, and you spend a lot of time playing the same mini games over and over to earn coins and unlock new cards which can be pretty big cons if you don't really enjoy collecting as a game concept. It's a genuinely interesting little town so if you like to talk to NPCs and complete collections, you'll like this game. There's three ways you can put on performances, so when you get tired of one you have two others you can switch too. There's also a card game and a shooting game where you can simply earn money and not worry about putting your ideas in order for a play. I do want to note that I personally had a lot of trouble getting th...
