An Epic Adventure with Hermit and Pig

"Hermit and Pig" is a new turn-based RPG game where the duo embarks on a rural adventure to fight against sinister corporate machinations. Have you ever wished to take on the animal kingdom (and maybe even some of its inhabitants) in turn-based RPG battles? Then you will love "Hermit and Pig," a charming indie game that promises just that. Developed by Heavy Lunch Studio, it combines vibrant outdoor areas and caves with combat systems that incorporate elements from Undertale, Pokémon, and the time-critical conversations from Telltale's The Walking Dead series.

The Story behind Hermit and Pig

As the titular duo, you are approached by a young girl from a local village. With families unable to afford food and store shelves empty, the locals are struggling to survive. It is up to the pair to embark on a journey to find a mysterious "Jumbo Fungo" while uncovering a dark corporate conspiracy.

Unique Game Mechanics in Hermit and Pig

Unfortunately, during the journey, players will encounter a lot of violent wildlife and even some hostile locals. That's why it's good that Hermit has a useful survival guide for the wilderness. Players can also collect mushrooms and truffles with the help of the pig, which can then be used for various purposes.

Combat-like Conversation System

In addition, there is a combat-like conversation system where players must try to overcome Hermit's social anxieties in order to give answers without stumbling too much over thoughts and words. Successful efforts will provide more clues about what is happening in the village and its surroundings.
