About the Game

What defines a person’s worth?

Metaneurosis is a surreal, story-rich turn-based RPG, blending tactical combat, dark humor, and emotional introspection. Navigate various mindscapes shaped by fear, memory, and unresolved pain, where every absurd encounter hides something meaningful underneath.

What does it cost to stay true to oneself?

Each world you enter is a manifestation of a deeper struggle, filled with talking skeletons, corporate nightmares, undead seagulls, and the occasional flying walrus.

It’s ridiculous until it isn’t.

Key Features

  • Turn-Based Tactical Combat
    Build a party of uniquely unstable characters. Plan your moves, or just throw a can and hope for the best.

  • Surreal Worlds to Explore
    Travel through layered mental landscapes, each with its own twisted logic, inhabitants, and narrative weight.

  • Dark Humor Meets Emotional Depth
    Laugh through the nonsense. Then brace yourself for when it stops being funny.

  • Customize Your Team
    Build a party of oddballs with a mix of ridiculous and powerful abilities that suit your strategy, or your neuroses.

  • Puzzles, Secrets, and Side Quests
    Discover hidden stories, strange mechanics, and meaningful side content across each world.

  • Character Creation & Progression
    Personalize your look and unlock new outfits as you push deeper into yourself.

  • Optional Story Mode
    Skip combat entirely and experience the full narrative journey, surreal humor, and emotional depth at your own pace.

Whether you’re battling spaghetti lawyers, seeking crablightenment, or confronting your own inner saboteur, Metaneurosis is a love letter to RPGs, and to the beautiful mess of being human stuck in the corporate trap.
