OFF

OFF I've been waiting for a long time, and when the game finally got to Android, it was impossible to pass by. This is not just an RPG, but a real psychological trip, where you feel not like a hero, but a puppeteer. I control a character named Butter and lead him through a strange world that needs to be "cleaned up," although as you go through it, you start to wonder if what you're doing is even right.

How does the passage feel

From the very beginning, the game breaks the usual framework. The characters are talking not only to the hero, but also to me directly. There is a feeling of complicity, as if I am not just pushing buttons, but actually interfering in the fate of this world. The locations are divided into zones, each has its own Guardian, and the logic of what is happening works according to its own strange rules.

I'm traveling through an industrial dystopia where people breathe smoke, worship sugar, and fear the truth. There is no classic fantasy here — everything looks like a nightmare drawn in pencil and filtered through madness.

Fighting, puzzles and atmosphere

The gameplay is based on turn-based battles and exploration. The system of elements is unusual: instead of fire and water, Meat, Metal, Plastic and Smoke are used. The battles don't overload, so I focus more on the plot and puzzles than on the grind. At the right moment, you can turn on the auto-fight and calmly move on through the story.

Music stands alone. The soundtrack keeps you constantly in suspense: a mix of ambient, electro and weird samples makes up half of the atmosphere. Sometimes I found myself just standing in a location and listening to the world "breathe" around me.

What makes the game catchy

• meta-narrative, where the player becomes part of the story;


• charismatic and strange characters;


• pencil-drawn, surreal visual style;


• concentrated passage without unnecessary grind;


• plot, which can be interpreted in different ways.

During the passage, I constantly felt that the game was asking questions not only to the characters, but also to myself. It's not so much the battles that are important here, but the atmosphere, the dialogues, and the strange feeling that the world lives by someone else's laws. That's why OFF is memorable: in 5-6 hours, I walked a path that looks more like a journey into the subconscious than a regular RPG on Android.
