Gluck

About

Gluck is a 2D platform RPG where you play as the village’s top rice cake maker investigating a corporate water crisis. The story follows your quest to expose a greedy mining company draining the village’s water supply. Gameplay blends side-scrolling exploration with dialogue choices and light resource management as you navigate mine shafts and talk to townsfolk. The minimalist art style and quirky writing frame a small but pointed critique of environmental neglect. The game’s charm comes from its absurd premise and dry humor, fighting corporate greed with rice cakes isn’t something you see every day. Community feedback highlights its tight pacing and creative worldbuilding, with 85% of recent players rating it positively. While short, its 3-hour runtime packs a concise narrative that lingers. The pixel art and jaunty soundtrack add warmth to the mining town’s plight, making it a memorable indie pick for fans of character-driven adventures.

The best rice cake maker in the village is going to stop making rice cakes! The reason why he can't make rice cakes anymore must be that mining company! Because ever since that company was established, the water in the village has been getting scarcer and scarcer! It's definitely a bad company!
