Odd Gods is a 90s-style RPG about the 1990s. An isometric tactical role playing game about subcultures, music, spacetime travel, and facing your pop culture demons.
A CRPG about spacetime travel and pop culture demons? I can't wait! Thanks to @innbetweenworld for showing off @oddgodsgame at #PAXAUS2017 pic.twitter.com/0Nc92Lfk3Z

- There is no chosen one. A grungy, low fantasy story set at the end of the 1990s.
- Classic 'isometric' camera on 3D characters and scenes.
- Colourful, 'low budget B-Movie' Art style
- Subculture class system based on 1990s archetypes (Skateboarders, Goths, Ravers, Jocks, Nerds etc).
- Music Genre 'alignment' system (Mainstream, Alternative, Underground).
- Party-based turn-based combat system ('Same Phase' system with no RNG, no % to hit, just tactics).
- Narrative features branching paths and multiple endings.
- Hand-crafted exploration, narrative and combat content. No level-scaling, no procedural generation, no random encounters.
- Original subculture soundtrack recorded with period instruments (where possible).
- 90s-era difficulty. Odd Gods is not a game for the faint of heart, but the system is 'fair'. Friendly fire is on by default. No bullet sponges. Permadeath, mostly.
- Take modern weapons back to older eras (Ancient, Medieval, Early Modern) and vice-versa, but keep an eye on your ammo count and penicillin, for example.
- .... No elves, no magic swords, orcs, or any of that guff.
Estimated length: 12hrs including side content:
(a) we're a small indie studio and don't have the capacity for more
(b) we actually want players to finish the game.
