A game that starts off by saying “Warning: the game you are about to play is canon” and then goes on to use the word “octoroon” twice in the first 5 minutes of play is a game that is likely to change the way you perceive games for the rest of your life…
Or, you know, it could just be another great RPG starring Charles Barkley.
This demo, which is outrageously short, is probably the most indie game I’ve ever played. Aside from using the word “octoroon,” BSUAJ:G also puts licensed NBA players in a post-apocalyptic setting, contains numerous obscure references to gaming, and is made with RPGMaker. In other words, this is a game that has so little chance of getting sold commercially that even if it was guaranteed to sell 50 billion copies and also cure AIDS a publisher would probably never touch it with a ten-foot zauber.
When is Chef Boyardee going to finish this damn game so I can learn some mothafuckin’ Verboten Jams?!
Conclusion: in terms of cleverness and entertainment value, this paltry demo chaos dunks Super Columbine Massacre RPG so hard it’s not even funny.
