Description

ABOUT

PEPPERED is an existential platformer where you have ONE SHOT at everything.

Every choice, every boss battle, and every failure impact the branching plotline and determine how the story will go and how it will end. Will you save the world - or fail miserably?

SYNOPSIS

Seeing apathy in the face of doomsday, an office intern decides to save the world by themselves. But the world responds by summoning the police, angry mobs, and the media, branding them as a terrorist.

KEY FEATURES

■ BRANCHING NARRATIVE
Multiple endings. Multiple story routes. Your failures and choices affect the story, which branches out heavily — sometimes taking you to completely unique locations with unique scenes, characters, or gameplay mechanics.

■ PLATFORMING ACTION
Run. Jump. Die. Scream at the screen.

■ ONE-SHOT BOSS FIGHTS
Challenging boss fights! If you lose, the game will not reset or give you a second chance — it will go on, incorporating your loss and changing the story accordingly.

■ CHOICES
Make story choices, ranging from dialogue responses to actions. These will either affect the characters, the scene's outcome, or the ending you get.

■ STEALTH SECTIONS
Get caught, sneak past, or find a secret solution. Every section features a unique character, permanent outcomes, and dumb gags.

■ EXPLORATION
Immerse yourself in a bizarre world full of weirdos and sad people! Talk with colorful NPCs, poke around the environment, or ignore it all.

■ COMPLETELY RANDOM CR*P
Maybe you'll have to use a shopping cart to run away from thugs? Perhaps you'll have to write a presentation or gamble with a street corner lunatic? Who knows? (I do.)

■ AN OFFICE CHAIR
You can spin in it.

I don't usually make steam reviews, but I felt like I had to after playing this game. It was a super fun experience with funny writing. My only complaint about the game is that there isn't more to play lol.

Let me start by saying that if you're curious about this game, you *need* to play the demo first; not that the little taste of what this game offers is required, but rather the ending of it: you're treated to a quick

I don't normally write reviews for games, but this one was good enough I felt I had to. The characters are charming, the story is enthralling, and the gags and jokes are genuinely hilarious. I currently have 7/11

I enjoyed the various mini games within the game very much. I only got 3 endings before what I'm assuming is the "main win" ending, and don't intend to play for more (though I did do *one* more out of curiosity, it was
