->''"You have been assigned to a being called "The Batter". The Batter has an important mission. Be sure that it's accomplished."''
''OFF'' is an RPG created in 2007 by web user Mortis Ghost. Originally in French, it since got an English translation. The player enters his name and is informed that he is now in control of a being called the Batter, the game's main character, who is a quiet man in a baseball batter's outfit.
Fairly simple, huh? Well, It gets weirder.
The game takes place in a world ''nothing'' like what you know. The Batter encounters, only a few moments after you gained control, a white, wise and snarky cat with a CheshireCatGrin that calls himself "The Judge". The people in this world, called the Elsens, are practically all InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals other than the items merchant Zachary, who has perfected BreakingTheFourthWall (not that the other characters would care for it; the player is repeatedly addressed personally), strange ghosts that terrorize everything in sight and mighty lords of the lands of the world, called zones.
The Batter's mission is to "purify the world" from these spectres; And ''you'' have to help him with it.
The game's translation can be found [[http://forum.starmen.net/forum/Fan/Games/OFF-by-Mortis-Ghost here]], and the original French version [[http://zanaforum.free.fr/index.php?showtopic=7219&st=0 here.]]
