Crooky The Game is an RPG about Crooky, a mysterious frog named Joseph, and… a Pear. Their journey through the colorful world of Frogland begins as a search for Joseph’s long-lost home, but slowly develops into something much stranger — a story about lost memories, forgotten places, and a world that isn’t quite how Joseph remembers it.
The game moves away from some traditional RPG systems. Instead of standard Health and Mana, characters have Memory and Mental Stability, while traditional character levels are replaced by a shared Awareness Level for the entire party.
The save system is also tied directly to the game’s themes. At special statues, you save your memories, and as your Awareness deepens, new possibilities become available. Activated statues also allow you to Wander Through Memories, which serves as the game’s fast travel system. Mechanically, saving still works like a traditional save system — it’s simply presented differently to connect it with the story and the world.
Memory, awareness, and forgetting are some of the central themes of Crooky The Game, both in its story and its mechanics.
I recently released a free demo, so if you’d like to give it a try, I’d really appreciate any feedback!
