Downcity Saga follows the adventures of a hipster moving from the West Coast to live with his cousin in an obscure, but interesting New England city called Burnside. With every new friend he makes amongst the communities that make Burnside what it is, there will always be an enemy waiting in the shadows. Whether to make ends meet or to broaden horizons, this hipster will need to become more than just a fanboy of obscure music working at a cafe to stand up to those who will pay top dollar for his hide.

Make friends... Make Allies... Build a network to back you up.
Follow carrer paths... hopefully ones that don't involve getting beaten up by interns.
Discover the city by day, or by night... but go light on the drinks if do... we don't want you coming home with missing teeth.
Just make sure to do it all before it becomes cool...

Well the gameplay seemed interesting but... The graphics just seem a little weird to me. Especially the cafe ! What is wrong with the cafe? Doesnt make sense to me.

The graphical issues for me made me turn off the game,made me lose interest.
GLITCH ?

#Doesnt this look weird to you ? Also was very weird that some places you walk behind the white.Its not meant to look like this right?

But enough critics, your artwork is amazing and unique. I loved the look of the character.Cool dude ;)
The music is fine and the general idea/concept of the gameplay got me intrigued even though I had issues with the tile management.

I think this game can become something very good if it gets some polish and tweaks :) Keep it up. I cant give a proper judgement while the game has these issues with the graphics and tiles.

Also in the basement it seemed weird to me that some of the sacks you could walk over and some you couldnt,they all looked the same.

I will subscribe though and if I see you got a new demo version up I test it and give it a proper judgement.

Good luck on the game.

Thank you! Glad to hear your input! It looks like you encountered some sort of glitch with our custom sprite sheet because the cafe is definitely not supposed to look like that. When I work on this project again I'll have to fix that immediately.

Awesome I figured it wasnt meant to look like that. =) When you get it fixed I will try it again and reevaluate the game. ;) This game looks very promising. A glitch is just a glitch.

So yeah, i've tried the demo and i've finished it- well, maybe i'll say something more...

Like-

The characters are pretty much ok, the plot looks pretty much interesting, honestly.

The battles are ok, too. They might not too difficult, but i prefer it that way.

The skills are ok, too. Especially the cooking skill. That kind of skill was pretty much a bit useful.

The map are okay, the soundtrack totally fits the game theme, so yeah, i can't wait for the full game.

Probably i'll end up recommending this game.

- This game kinds reminds me of deadmau5
