NO BODY (In Development)

Clownface is your average 17-year old boy. 

He likes anime. He plays video games. 

He's also been haunted by a menacing presence for as long as he can remember. 

Journey through the WELL, a dangerous and bizarre reality with your friends, and explore impossible environments, solve puzzles, meet a wide array of cool and quirky characters, and battle Anomalies in a unique twist on the turn-based formula.

Can you uncover the mystery behind the WELL, a shady government, and your own identity?

Play as Clownface, Marked, The Witch, Angel and T0B-13 and venture through The WELL, a bizarre and dangerous reality whilst making friends and destroying Anomalies. No Body is inspired by UNDERTALE, Silent Hill, and a Night In The Woods, from its hand-drawn pixel and character art, odd humour, creature, world, and puzzle design, and focus on character and story development.

Travel through a vast semi-open world as you uncover the meaning of the WELL, complete puzzling side quests, discover secrets, and delve into tonnes of lore! 
Will you be able to survive the physical and psychological trials The Well throws at you? Can you uncover the secrets behind an elusive corporation, shady government and weird cult?

Every choice matters + three different endings!

Onto the meat and potatoes! Every choice you make in the game, whether major or minor, will influence the game in some way. Some in more obvious ways than others... Different paths and locations may or may not be available. Even your character will change to reflect their choices. Throughout your adventure in The Well, your decisions will be logged, affecting the ending of the game. 

Hand drawn art!

A huge part of any game is the art direction. Personally, I love the direction we've gone in. All the art (including pixel art) is hand drawn either by me or Sam. Sam handles the character dialogue art and scenes, I draw the environments and assets such as items, enemies, sprites, etc. I also use some other, real-world techniques to achieve certain looks or textures I require. 

"Turn based meets investigation" battle system!

Side quests! Loot! Examine (almost) everything! 

"Metroidvania-Lite" exploration!

Picture this: a turn-based combat system full of strategy and puzzle-solving! Well, you no longer have to picture it! (Okay, maybe a little...) because this is what No Body is striving to achieve.

-Use your 5 senses (sight, sound, smell, taste and touch) to interact with foes and discover weaknesses!
- Exploit weaknesses! Buff yourself and debuff enemies!
- Optimise equipment to compliment your strategy and playstyle!
- Make use of the many states to destroy foes!

As No Body is an RPG, there is of course an abundance of loot to find (including secret ultimate weapons), side quests, branching paths, hidden dungeons, and secret bosses to find! Some bosses require to to investigate them first - meaning you must piece together bits of information to track them down, summon them, and destroy them. 

Almost all items will allow you to 'examine' them, uncovering more lore, and potentially finding new uses for items. And speaking of items - certain key items will allow you to traverse previously unreachable areas. Perhaps in the previous area you saw a suspicious crack in the ground - and you now have a shovel. What could you dig up? Or was there a ledge just out of reach? Use tools to access new and hidden areas!

Now it's over to you!

Right now, there aren't many tier rewards, but overtime as the community and interest grows, so will the options. I have some cool plans for rewards and merch exclusive to our most dedicated supporters.

Funding will go towards paying for art and music, play testers, coders, marketing, and more.

So far, I've been paying for all of this out of my pocket, but it is unsustainable and cannot last forever. It's up to you to help this game become a reality! 

Together with your support, we can make an amazing experience for gamers to experience and love!
