Muffles' Life Sentence

If I had to describe it in a sentence i'd say "Jimmy and the Pulsating Mass set in Superjail". Quite an unique game you won't regret playing.

I could go on forever about how much I love this damn game. And trust me, I've played A LOT of games. This is one of THOSE games. It's NEARLY the perfect version of what's it's doing. Muffles is a linear RPG with a good story, memorable characters, a really cool face switching mechanic. It's dark, there's mystery, but it's also funny. I'm bad about skipping text in games, but I read EVERY WORD in this game. One part I kept finding funny is: As Muffles, you can't speak. Only make muffled nosies. And yet you ALWAYS get a text prompt to choose what you're going to say in convo BUT IT NEVER MATTERS BECAUSE THEY CAN'T UNDERSTAND YOU! I fell for this more times than I'd like to admit. And it's hilarious. OK SOME SLIGHT NITPICKS: 1. The text in combat is a just too fast. Many times it flashed on screen and I have no idea what it said. There was one time I fighting a bunch of enemies at once and I used a card that attacks every enemy but I didn't read it ALSO does 10 damage TO YOU for every enemy - that part was my fault - but I didn't know what killed me until laster bc the text was going by too fast. 2. I think Beserk might be broken? I beat the 2nd nightmare easily and I had 0 health for like 1/2 the fight. But I never used it again after that. 3. I felt a bit lost at the start. So I just wondered aimlessly - luckily I was curious about the prison and everything going on. But by the time I finished 1st chapter I was hooked! I never felt lost again. The game really puts on the gas from chapter 2 on. 4. I also wish combat was a SMDIGE harder. I'm on the final chapter right now and the enemies are putting up a bit of a fight, but I still beat them without too much trouble. But maybe it gets harder. Or maybe my cards are just OP. 5. This is more of a personal preference, but the humor goes a bit too silly at times. There's a whole part where you're solving a murder on a train - which I was HYPE for - but it wasn't as thrilling as I thought. And the murderer turned out to be... totally ridiculous. That went a bit overboard for me tbh. I can easily buy into this twisted reality, but when it goes Looney Toons it's a step too far. And some stuff with Dee did that too. But I do like Dee tho. Anyway, I freakin love this game. 9/10

The indiest of indie games ever indied! This game is so well-written (it's very funny), the pixel art is grotesquely beautiful and the music is tremendous. There's a living, vivid world to explore and a huge cast of remarkable characters to meet. And the deckbuilding combat is rather good too. An idiosyncratic little gem!

Great vibes, memorable characters I didn't like the deckbuilding aspect too much but I stayed for whole rest

[h1]TL;DR[/h1] Promising story setup that is sadly hold back by terrible combat, atrocious interface and boring deckbuilding mechanics -------------------------------- [h1]Pros:[/h1] [h2]Overall look and feel[/h2] [list] [*] Nice art style [*] Music is decent [/list] [h2]Story and world building[/h2] [list] [*] Story setup is promising [/list] -------------------------------- [h1]Cons:[/h1] [h2]Gameplay[/h2] [list] [*] As if deckbuilder weren't already boring this one however manages to be insanely boring, even for deckbuilder standards. At least for the first few hours. No idea how it evolves over time [/list] [h2]Story and world building[/h2] [list] [*] It takes some time until the story starts to progress [/list] [h2]Bugs + missing QoL[/h2] [list] [*] Interface is horrible. Weird keybinds, no keybinds at all for many actions [/list]

Solidly one of the best little RPGs out there! The art is peak, the writing is peak, the battle system is really fun to mess around with, music is also peak, trying to remember if there's anything I forgot, either way, it's a great game, and very reasonably priced for the amount of content you get. Very very worth it, make Deesus happy and try the first episode at least <3

Coolest game I have played yet, love the style and the game plot so unique!

What a treat of a hidden gem, though I do hope it blows up in popularity like undertale. Story and world-building is very well written, with enough twists and hooks to keep me engaged throughout and there's more than enough leftover to hope for a sequel. The cast/characters were the highlights of this game, although there's a few more interesting ones(doll and fortune) that I wish were developed just a little more. Also thought the decision to make the protag faceless and unable to speak very unique, collecting other companions to speak for you. As for the gameplay, I was initially reluctant to pick up muffles MLS since I'm not a fan of deckbuilders, but the gameplay design felt very tightly done?(for lack of a better word) Very much appreciate that this game was accessible to non-deckbuilder fans, since the story/writing is the main appeal. Fans of deckbuilders should still have a lot of fun though, maybe not chapter 1, but definitely with the option to go crazy with mixed decks in later chapters and optional nightmare bosses/NG+ runs Looking forward to bossy dee's next game, though I heard from discord that it is horror and i dislike that genre too :( RPG with horror elements maybe please?
