This Theme6 was a very Theme6 Theme6, and I especially liked the Theme6 where you went to find the Theme6 but ran into a Theme6 instead. A few Them6 though:

  • Theme6’d all the Theme6 to the Theme6
  • Theme6, and when Theme6 Theme6, you Theme6

Very Harold, will be hard to top. I am blessed this was my first entry to play.

Had to play this one on my phone because I just couldn't not play it.

Gameplay: I tapped my phone screen a few times.

Combat: The only combat here is Harold's inner struggle.

Comedy: Human Harold is best Harold.

Sound: MY EEEAARRRSSSSS

Visuals: Not much more Harold than good ol' RTP.

Story: It's Harold and there's definitely a dead end.

I don't know if it's a bug in the browser version or a feature but Theme6 starts playing again (on top of Theme6) every time you press a key on the title screen.

I'm gonna assume it was a feature given the tone of the game.

That said, holy cow I was rolling from this one. You got me!

This is a tough one to score, it treads that fine line between madness and genius.

An accurate commentary on commercial RPG Makers one regularly finds on Itch and Steam.

You're telling me this is worth a commercial release?! High praise. High praise indeed.

$2 game right there.
