The Adventures of Badgersaw Chapter 1 is a short RPG filled with British banter and scary monsters. Slap your teammates to recover MP as you uncover the mystery of an alien cave.
The story follows Badgersaw, who has taken a wrong turn and now he and his companions are lost. Lead the gang out of this mess or perish to the dark forces lurking within the cave.
Badgersaws' companions include the wizard Mr L (who denies the existence of Magic) and the ranger Tantalum (Badgersaw’s motivationally challenged friend).
Explore, Fight and Talk your way out
The game is hybrid of old school adventure titles, visual novels and JRPGs. Explore the cavern, solve its puzzles, fight its monsters and talk to its denizens.
Motivate your team to victory
Each of the three main characters has a unique resource instead of traditional MP which is tied to their personality. Badgersaw has malice, Tantalum has motivation, and Mr L has mana (because he's a wizard).
Badgersaw can slap Tantalum to restore his motivation in a daring show of leadership. For some reason, this also works on Mr L.
Customize your playstyle
Eventually, the party will unlock items, equipment and new abilities to allow players to customize the protagonists' combat roles and develop a unique play style.
Proceed with caution, as death is everywhere. Each death also gives you a unique scene, so you can have fun dying, too.
Chapter 1 is about 3-4 hours of content on the main quest with an extra hour or so of sidequests and hidden content. New chapters will be released as DLC.

Overcome the terrors and escape (maybe)
One of the main mechanics of Chapter 1 is managing limited heals and saves. There are enough oppourtunities to do both to get you to the end of the chapter, but some players may find this challenging.
