6/1/20 Special covid pricing has ended! Thank you for all your support and I hope you truly enjoyed the game! Please consider supporting the game at full price as I am now working on a new project which I hope to release in early access in the coming months! Thank you! DON’T GIVE UP is a comedic RPG about a mentally ill game dev trying to find success in life who becomes wrapped up in the manifestations of his own inner demons. You'll delve into your subconscious in order to face darkness and an evil entity intent on unraveling your mind, all while fending off pizza bullies, social anxiety, and male pattern baldness! Disclaimer: DON'T GIVE UP has themes of mental illness and is a LIGHT RPG adventure with no random encounters and minimal upgrades which will require more skill as the game progresses. In DON’T GIVE UP: A Cynical Tale you can expect:: An original cynical comedy about overcoming emotional destruction and self discovery 2 Story lines between 2 worlds FRESH real time combat system that constantly switches between player and enemy advantage A charming town FULL of stuff to explore like arcades, strip clubs, burger joints, and over hyped coffee chains Over 100 UNIQUE NPCS to interact with! 90's references! Do you have what is takes to find the hero deep down inside? THEN DON'T GIVE UP! 


Notes: There are some adult themes in the game, including a self harm scene and drinking in the opening. The game visits some of these themes but does not explicitly show them or focus on theme for the majority of the experience.
