End Roll

About

End Roll is a narrative-driven RPG by Segawa that follows Russell, a teenager trapped in a mysterious experiment. The game alternates between two timelines, one where he’s confined to a sterile room with cryptic instructions and another where he starts over in a quiet town. Gameplay focuses on turn-based combat, dialogue choices, and exploring branching paths that lead to three distinct endings. The story unfolds through scripted scenes, inventory puzzles, and optional side content that adds depth to Russell’s predicament. The game’s dual-narrative structure and eerie atmosphere set it apart. Its use of RPG Maker 2000 gives it a retro aesthetic that feels intentionally low-polished, enhancing its claustrophobic tone. While short by modern standards, its layered story and multiple outcomes have earned it a cult following among fans of atmospheric indie RPGs. Community reviews note its emotional core and how small decisions ripple into meaningful consequences.
