* NintendoHard: Battles are non-repeatable so money is finite, replenishing stations (represented as vending machines) are one-use only save for a couple occasions, and a majority of the de-buffs you can get either make attacks unpredictable/self-harming, weaken your attack significantly, or make you unable to fight at all. The only solace you get is that Floe has a special healing skill and you generally get a decent amount of HP/AP restores.

Farewell Sen takes inspiration from older RPG Maker games, most notably OFF, a 2008 RPG by developer Mortis Ghost. It also takes inspiration from old handheld RPG titles that centre around exploring a small town that’s under attack.

[[https://store.steampowered.com/app/2025650/FAREWELL_SEN/en Farewell Sen]] is a short and sweet surreal adventure RPG from developer amoxy. It tells the story of Soot, a [[TheHero typical do-gooder]] who is stopped while driving due to an SOS signal sent out by a broadcast tower. He searches the nearby town to locate it, and ends up getting a lot more than he bargained for when the town is overrun with creatures known as [[OurDemonsAreDifferent sendaggers]].

Along the way, Soot befriends Floe, an [[ElementalEmbodiment ice elemental]], who doesn’t want to concern himself with the plight of the others and just wants to go home, and Bolt, a [[TragicRobot broken robot]] who immediately assigns Soot as his caretaker and joins in on the fight against the [[BigBad big bad]]/[[AntiVillain partial anti-villain]] Prong. Also included is a cast of [[EccentricTownsfolk eccentric townspeople]] such as Tongs, a burly shopkeeper who somehow [[AlmightyJanitor always seems to know where you’re heading next]], Lacy, header of a huge ship and who has a [[NonHumanHead security camera for a head]], Mavi, a [[RobotMaster robotic scientist]] and friend/potential lover of Lacy, and of course all the citizens living in a [[GhostTown literal ghost town]], who all seem to have [[ColourfulThemeNaming names relating to the colour purple]].
