Game Over

A very good mix of Everhood and Undertale, though with a fair few flaws.

Let's start with the good stuff. The game's rhythm battles are well made, and constantly bring new stuff to the table, be it the effects during the song or the music it uses. The humor might not be for everyone, but I enjoyed it wholeheartedly all the way through. The music itself also has good variety, and there are plenty of secrets and side tasks you can be busy with, some more hidden than others. Not to mention the game is not just the story and rhythm, but also a lot of other little side activities I won't spoil.

But it's not all perfect. The most obvious candidate might seem to be the artstyle, but that actually works quite well as you progress through the game! Or at the very least, it feels justified to be the way it is.

No, the main problem is the actual rhythm battles. They're lovely and well charted, but the secret levels of higher difficulties showcase the problem in the way the game handles button prompts. You will fail a note if you hit too early, which causes you to lose health. But if you hit a button without a note, that also causes you to lose health. This common anti-mash measure means your health can get depleted really fast with double-misses, sometimes without you realizing what you did wrong if the song goes too fast. There are no indicators for if you're hitting notes early or late, there is no accuracy summary or any way to calibrate. The only way the harder rhythm battles became bearable was after I stopped looking at the screen, and instead looked at the recording preview of OBS. The small-yet-noticeable delay significantly improved my performance and likely reduced the frustration I would've otherwise felt.

Still, despite the rhythm battles being both the key part of the game and the thing that could use the most love in future updates, this is a great title, and well worth the time it asks of you (even though maybe it's a bit short without an arcade mode to replay the songs with some sort of scoring replayability)

This game is an absolute blast! It mixes humor, rhythm-based combat, and a bit of everything else into one super enjoyable experience. The comedy is top-notch – I was laughing pretty much the whole time. The characters are quirky and hilarious, and the writing is full of clever jokes and fun surprises. It’s like Undertale meets Earthbound but with a really cool musical twist that makes this game truly unique.
The battles, reminiscent of Guitar Hero and Pokemon, are all unique with distinct themes and references, which keeps things fresh and exciting. One of the most notable aspects of Game Over is the intense difficulty. This game on hard would put Dark Souls to shame, but luckily the story mode aka “Nigel Mode” is perfect if you just want to enjoy the story and the fun without worrying about tough battles.
And I can wholeheartedly recommend playing this just for the story alone - the story-telling really is top notch with a lot of effort clearly having been put into crafting this musical journey. There’s a lot of RPG elements that make you feel like you're really making choices that matter, and it all blends together really well. There’s a great balance between strategy, humour, and creativity.
With all the mini-games, song compositions and genre-blending it's truly a massive accomplishment that this was created by a solo dev. I get the sense that there are hundreds of easter-eggs that may take several playthroughs to find. Of my almost 1000 games on Steam, this one stands out as the most interesting - I think it has the potential to be another indie smash-hit like Undertale. If you’re into quirky, lighthearted games that make you laugh and keep you on your toes, this one is a must!

I had no idea what I was getting into when I opened this game, but Game Over - A musical RPG?? was so much fun and intriguing!
Check out the demo if you are curious BUT I would recommend just getting it, diving in blind and see what happens!

GAME OF THE YEAR 2025?????????????? FR
I am up to the MEWG level and oh man, this one is tough, but it is SO GOOD.
The humour is impeccable, the music is so fantastically woven into the game, it's even diagetic.
I can't recommend it enough, it's got stanley parable meta elements, similar style but better music than earthbound.
If you played this after playing the demo, how dare you kill micky monkey business. If you didnt play the demo, how dare you.

Full Walkthrough:
★★★★★
Gameplay: Good and at the same time challenging, however you may encounter issues when pressing more than 3-4 notes at the same time on laptop (in my case that happened to me), so i recommend playing with keyboard or controller.
Story: A very good and unexpected story
Graphics: Pixel
Audio: Very good music
PC Requirements: Potato
Game Time: 6-7 Hours
Here I will leave the cat, friends who pass by can pet it and give it a thumbs up
