If you like Penny Arcade comics this is an obvious buy for you. If you don't like them then...well this isn't going to change your mind. If you have no idea about Penny Arcade and are just looking for good RPGs, then this is a pretty fun one to pick up!
A good turn-based RPG with a touch of point-and-click adventure. It has a great sense of humor, a blend of the absurd and the clever. The progression is satisfying, and it's neither too long nor too difficult, making it enjoyable for players unfamiliar with the genre.
Scribing a chortling appraisal of Gabe & Tycho's first transversal into the industry they've burlesqued for years is nugatory when compared to the imagined comic Penny Arcade would inevitably cast of their creation in three panels. [i](int. The bathroom section of a home improvement store) [h3](Panel 1)[/h3] (Tycho is in oblivious contemplative thought, meanwhile Gabe is looking at toilets)[/i] TYCHO "I never thought it was be this hard." GABE "Passing a turd that's been calcifying deep within is an ordeal." [i][h3](Pane 2)[/h3] (Gabe is in the process of unbuckling and unzipping his pants)[/i] TYCHO "Maybe if it were pinched into smaller pieces." GABE "This toilet is rated for several billiard balls!" [i][h3](Panel 3)[/h3] (Gabe is seated on the toilet, pants off. Customers and employees are aghast)[/i] TYCHO "Perhaps our ridicules have been unduly brutish before first-hand experience." GABE "I wouldn't pay me to take a dump on my own chest."

On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness is a surprisingly charming little RPG that I had a blast with — the Penny Arcade humor lands well if you appreciate that brand of absurdist, slightly crude wit, and there's something genuinely delightful about beating up mimes and hobos with a rake in a Lovecraftian 1920s setting. The combat system keeps things engaging with its active-time mechanics and QTE special moves for blocking and combos, which adds a satisfying layer of skill beyond just issuing commands. It's short — I wrapped it up in around 7 hours — but that brevity works in its favor; it never outstays its welcome or devolves into a grind, especially since enemies are finite and stay dead. If you're not already a Penny Arcade fan, some of the humor might not click, but the comic-book art style and tight combat are enjoyable on their own merits. Recommended, especially at a sale price.
good game
I mean, if you like penny arcade you'll probably like this. do i have some personal moral questions about the wanton murder of homeless people? yes. but that may be me being that one friend whos too woke. plenty tycho, gabe, and annarchy content, and there is a cat that you can try to pet. its also fairly funny, not too difficult to play, but not boring mechanics wise either. character creation is pretty limited but what can you expect
Audio issues render the game unplayable for me.
A game where robots ♥♥♥♥ fruits and piss on you. 10/10
Bun joc.
Muito legal o jogo, gostei dos design do jogo e dos diálogos em quadrinhos
