by

Okay, so I just heard that PEPPERED: An Existential Platformer is finally coming out on April 7th! Lynxbyte Games is publishing it, and Mostly Games developed it. It’s a 2D platformer with a story, and it’s hitting pretty much all the consoles – PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Switch. I’m definitely adding it to my list!

PEPPERED: An Existential Platformer first launched for PC via Steam on April 7, 2025.

Here is an overview of the game, via Lynxbyte Games:

About

PEPPERED is a unique platforming game that explores big questions, and it has a challenging twist: you only get one attempt to complete it.

Your decisions, fights, and even failures all change the story’s path and ultimately decide the ending. Will you succeed in saving the world, or will everything fall apart?

Synopsis

When everyone seemed unconcerned about an impending disaster, a young office worker took it upon themselves to try and save the world. However, instead of gratitude, they were met with hostility – the police were called, crowds turned angry, and the media labeled them a terrorist.

Key Features

  • Branching Narrative – Multiple endings. Multiple story routes. Your failures and choices affect the story, which branches out heavily—sometimes taking you to completely unique locations with unique scenes, characters, or gameplay mechanics.
  • Platforming Action – Run. Jump. Die. Scream at the screen.
  • One-Shot Boss Fights – Challenging boss fights! If you lose, the game will not reset or give you a second chance—it will go on, incorporating your loss and changing the story accordingly.
  • Choices – Make story choices, ranging from dialogue responses to actions. These will either affect the characters, the scene’s outcome, or the ending you get.
  • Stealth Sections – Get caught, sneak past, or find a secret solution. Every section features a unique character, permanent outcomes, and dumb gags.
  • Exploration – Immerse yourself in a bizarre world full of weirdos and sad people! Talk with colorful NPCs, poke around the environment, or ignore it all.
  • Completely Random Crap – Maybe you’ll have to use a shopping cart to run away from thugs? Perhaps you’ll have to write a presentation or gamble with a street corner lunatic? Who knows? (I do.)
  • An Office Chair – You can spin in it.
