Things As They Are

About

Things As They Are is a lighthearted role-playing game with a focus on goofy storytelling and pixel-art charm. You play as a cast of eccentric characters navigating a world filled with absurd quests and deadpan humor. Combat uses a turn-based system with simple mechanics letting you mix spells and items. The game leans into its quirky tone with dialogue that ranges from silly to surprisingly heartfelt. The developer’s reputation for witty, detail-driven games carries over here. Players praise the lengthy side content and the way small interactions often hide clever twists. While the visuals and systems feel familiar, the writing and character moments set it apart. A smaller but dedicated fanbase keeps discussing its best moments years after release.
