Immortal Boy looks wild blending a little Undertale and OMORI together

IcarusDev is currently making Immortal Boy a 2.5D turn-based RPG of battles, puzzles and exploration - amid secrets and betrayal. It's a little of Undertale meets OMORI.

There's a whole lot of adventuring exploration here with lots of side missions where you engage with a "character-rich story with fleshed-out character arcs" and of course, plenty of mini-games too. Wrapped up in a slick chiptune soundtrack, and a little "Windows 98 Webcore" nostalgia thrown in too for some of the UI it certainly looks like an experience.

The Steam page explains a little more noting that the combat in it features a 4-member party system, with special ability that come at the cost of another character's health, mixed in with 3D bullet-hell styled platforming for the enemy turns. I've not really seen many that look like this.

From the Steam page:

A group of 4 friends race against Tree monsters, Food creatures, Whacky snowmen, Sci-Fi computers, Gambling kings and who-knows-what to obtain a magical object that can grant anyone their Deepest Desire...

However, something tells you a certain friend isn't who they seem...

Spanning 9 Chapters (Kinda), Immortal Boy delves into the perspective of a Boy trapped in a psychological prison created by his own self-esteem and self-perception.

Delve into Themes of:

• Insecurity
• Emotional Manipulation
• Emotional Attachment
• Loneliness
• Relationships
• Characters being stupid for no reason in particular

Speaking to the developer over email, they confirmed it will have Native Linux support.
