About
Hermit and Pig is a new take on classic pixel art adventure RPGs. If you enjoy games like Earthbound, you’ll appreciate its funny and heartwarming style, but it also offers some unique gameplay improvements. Instead of relying on repetitive grinding, the combat system – inspired by games like Street Fighter and Paper Mario – focuses on player skill. The game even lets you experience Hermit’s social anxiety through awkward and funny conversations with other characters!
The peaceful life of Hermit and Pig in the woods is turned upside down when a girl arrives seeking their assistance. The town’s factory has unexpectedly laid off all its employees and replaced them with a suspicious new crew. Hoping to help the town avoid hardship, Hermit and Pig set off to find a legendary, giant mushroom, unaware they aren’t the only ones searching for it.
Key Features
- Leave Your Comfort Zone – Keep your wits about you as you travel far outside your comfort zone through a mystery of local disturbances to hunt for a giant, mythical mushroom. The path is filled with corporate stooges, weird cultists, rival truffle hunters, and uncharacteristically violent animals.
- Engage in Tense, Time-Sensitive Combat – Race the clock while you input unique key combos for attacks that grow in complexity as you progress through the world.
- Chat with the Locals – Seek clues through anxiety-laden conversations with an eccentric cast of NPCs. Avoid taking cringe damage and level up your social game while you navigate Hermit’s social anxiety.
- Mushroom Foraging – Forage dozens of unique, real-life (and a few not-so-real-life) mushroom types to heal, cure ailments, do damage, and cause status effects; use truffles for currency; and track your collection in a mushroom field guide.
