Reventure
Reventure could be described as a "choose your own adventure" book in the shape of a 2D platformer. It starts out from the classic monomyth premise: "You are a hero, the princess is in danger, go rescue her!" but it quickly gets more complicated than that - until it completely diverges into something completely non-standard.
What it feels like
Steam tags emphasize dark humor and comedy; the game gleefully punctures the seriousness of the standard hero-rescue trope. The divergence from standard tropes and multiple comedic endings invite a mischievous, experimental approach to play.
What it's about
The setup is the classic hero's quest to rescue the princess, though it explicitly deconstructs and subverts this premise. The game's non-standard divergences and hidden endings create an enigmatic pull of secrets and alternate paths to uncover.
How it plays
Core gameplay is 2D platforming, even though it's wrapped in a choice-driven narrative structure. As a choose-your-own-adventure platformer, branching conversation and choice nodes are a major system guiding the divergent paths. User tags mention puzzle-platformer, suggesting environmental puzzle-solving integrated into platforming levels.
How it looks and sounds
User tags confirm pixel graphics aesthetic as a core visual identity.
How it's structured
The game is explicitly marketed as having 100 different endings, making this a definitional feature. Described as a non-linear adventure where the player's choices diverge the story away from the standard rescue-the-princess premise into completely different outcomes. Player choices fork the story into meaningfully different paths and outcomes across the many possible endings.
