What people are saying
Overwhelmingly positive reception for its story, combat, and nostalgic RPG feel.
Players praise the game's intimate, story-driven narrative and strategic combat. One reviewer notes the game blends a familiar RPG setting with a personal story about regret and redemption. [1][9]
The combat is described as challenging and unique, with no grinding required. However, one player reports a game-breaking bug where the teleporter returns to the main menu. [7][10]

unlabelledView post →The best thing about indie games is that their story can take a more intimate, everyday tone, while also exploring some of life's frustrating complexities, while fully maintaining the creator's creative vision. Blending the familiar RPG setting as a catalyst for both story and gameplay works wonders in structuring the plot.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →game appears to be broken because after finishing first section, teleporter returns player to main menu instead of continuing game
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played the demo a while back and thought this was worth checking out. From what I've seen so far the game has a really interesting and original story, combined with easy to learn combat mechanics similar to the classic RPG formula with some interesting twists. First of all there is no leveling system, meaning that you have to face each combat encounter strategically, almost like a puzzle, since you don't have a straight up level advantage over enemies, instead, by exploring and interacting…

unlabelledView post →The world is beautifully crafted, full of detail and atmosphere that pulls you right in. One of the best things is that there's no grinding you can enjoy the adventure without repetitive tasks slowing you down. It also brings back that old-school RPG charm, with classic mechanics and a nostalgic feel that fans of the genre will appreciate. If you're into story-driven RPGs with heart and depth, this is definitely one to check out.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Simple 2d rpg game, heavily focused on story. I would love more random encounters and a coins based system for potions and such. All in all I'm excited to see how the story will play out. Loved the vine with "Lore" and "True Lore" on the demo.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yeah, this Second Chances rewatch in particular has REALLY given me a lot more respect for her. Even the part where her game falls apart at F13 is because of a bizarre early merge, and she recovers so quickly in a way that should have been impossible? Like, it really took an idol to get her out..
unlabelledView post →I am fine if this is the last season for everyone in this cast who's pre-s40, even people like Christian whom I adore as narrators of the game. If Cirie doesn't win now, fine: The Legend Who Never Won is still a title. But another Second Chances season, focused on more recents? Sure.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →SECOND CHANCES - A PLEASANT SURPISE "Second chances" game doesn't need a second chance. It answers affirmatively to the question of whether you believe in love at first sight with a game (with people it's more complicated). By the years, as I grew up, I left behind my "gamer era", but eventually I started feeling nostaligic with this side of myself. So today I decided to search for a game to get back in touch with my inner child. I didn't want to pick a mainstream game to begin my journey…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Incredible turn-based experience. Every fight feels unique and challenging, and the story really sticks with you. No grinding, no fluff—just smart design and emotional weight. One of the best strategy RPGs I’ve played in a while.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →DUDE. You HAVE to Check Out This Game! ====SPOILERS==== Okay, so I just heard about this game and it sounds absolutely INSANE you're playing as this fantasy author who gets into an accident and wakes up in LIMBO. it's a world literally built from his own books, his imagination, and even his regrets. You're basically journeying through the mind of an author, where his stories and his personal demons are coming to life. But here's the part that I think is a total game-changer, especially for…

unlabelledView post →Second Chances takes the familiar structure of a turn-based role-playing game and builds it around a much more personal subject: regret and the possibility of redemption. Developed by Deadpixel and published by indie.io, the game follows Paul Kimbel, an author who finds himself trapped between life and death. His path forward requires him to confront a strange world influenced by his imagination as well as the mistakes that brought him to this point. Instead of relying on the usual heroic…
