Retro JRPG with innovative ASCII graphics: Whispers in the Moss

[TapioUncultured]

Hi everyone!

I'm a solo game dev behind the retro JRPG, Whispers in the Moss, which was released two weeks ago on Steam and GOG. I hope it's okay to promote the game here because I really think some of you might be interested in checking it out. :-)

Whispers in the Moss is a full-scale retro JRPG and a love letter to old Final Fantasy games, but aesthetically, we're deep in the DOS alley. The game utilizes textmode/ASCII/ANSI-style graphics, but with a level of artistic ambition rarely, if ever, given to this medium in gaming before. The game has been received fantastically well (currently a 100% recommendation rate on Steam), but since the game caters to a specific niche aesthetically, it's been a challenge to locate and reach the people who might appreciate and enjoy this visual world. I was thinking there might be a few of them here, which is why I wanted to post about it.

If you're interested, you can find the game, a trailer, and a free demo version on Steam. Happy to answer any questions you might have about the game!

All the best,
Tapio

Hello, and welcome to the forums! Yes, it is perfectly fine to promote your game here. I've only moved your post to the Game Creation sub-forum, and added Steam links.

It looks nice overall, the ANSI art is pretty cool. Congrats on the release!
