Catachresis
*cue epic announcer voice*
In a world where big corporations are trying to take over the world with cybernetically enhanced cats, one woman will stand up for the little guys. This fall, join Rita on her epic quest to save the world from the nefarious organization, PITA. Along the way, she'll meet questionably useful side characters, super evil villains with strange choices in attire, and... cats. So. Many. CATS. (Trust us, they're cats). So buckle in for the ride of your life and watch as Rita finds out what it means to be a true 1337 haxx0r pr0! Also it's like a cyberpunk RPG or whatever.

I'm really impressed at the art!

Before playing this game I would've called myself a dog person. But now I must say you have converted me!
Very impressive to see great artwork, story telling, and cats! Loved the background music too!

... those poor poor cats. The pathing is excellent in this game. Great dialog and love the cyberpunk feel!

Wow this was quite a lot to get done for 72 hours! Funny dialogue, and nice use of the theme.
Once comment I would have is that it was a bit tough to figure out what you can and can't interact with in the world, since intractable objects didn't have much visual or contextual hints that separated them from their surroundings.

Woah! This is a real RPG! I didn't expect that much content for a 72-hour game...
Philarmon8 Oct 2019, 11:02
Wow, how the heck did you created all this in three days? I'm not a huge fan of RPGs but this is really impressive!

Quite a bit of content here, and so many jokes. I admit I didn't finish, but it seems pretty good!

"I don't have any dialogue anyways" killed me lol. A+ with the humor. I'm surprised with how many references you crammed in there. Some of the visuals felt a bit inconsistent with the art style, but it generally worked. I noticed you opted out of graphics and music so it's a bit hard to tell exactly how much content is original (I'm guessing the dialogue is for sure), but still seemed pretty nice overall.

@guitarbro The graphics are built from a default RPG Maker tileset, but we designed the maps. The music is original (made by yours truly), but I made it years ago for the original Catachresis concept. Sound effects are stock RPG Maker.
We had an artist and musician onboard for the project, but they both ended up having no time over the weekend to make assets for the game.

Funny story! I included it in my Ludum Dare 45 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/Bucux0B4E5k

I'm not usually a fan of rpgmaker projects, but your dialogue and game concept are so great. I actually found myself laughing at some of the jokes. Now it's time to go read some readit.

Love rpgmaker games, love games about cats, the dialogue here is great and actually made me laugh a couple of times, the music adds to the vibe
