It's time to go back to where it all began. Walthros is a world filled with floating fish, cool cats, and a long-lost past waiting to be unearthed. Bob is a part-time worker for an excavation company going through the motions and making ends meet until he accidentally comes across a buried secret that could reshape history as he knows it.
A turn-based RPG with a kind-hearted doofus trying to make tough times a little easier.
"A charming indie RPG with heavy JRPG influences and a unabashedly clownish sense of humor. I was not expecting to feel so many emotions and be as attached to the characters and universe as I ended up toward the end of the game. Genuinely one of the best sleeper indie hits." -Slime Hunter
