About This Demo

ABOUT

PEPPERED is an existential platformer where you have ONE SHOT at everything.
Every choice, every boss battle, and every failure impact the branching plotline and determine how the story will go and how it will end.

SYNOPSIS

Seeing apathy in the face of doomsday, an office intern decides to save the world themselves. But the world responds by calling the police, hillbillies, and the media, which brands them a terrorist.

KEY FEATURES

■ BRANCHING NARRATIVE
Multiple endings. Multiple story routes. Your failures and choices affect the story, which branches out heavily — sometimes taking you to completely unique locations with unique scenes, characters, or gameplay mechanics.

■ PLATFORMING ACTION
Run. Jump. Die. Scream at the screen.

■ ONE-SHOT BOSS FIGHTS
Challenging boss fights! If you lose, the game will not reset or give you a second chance — it will go on, counting in your loss and changing the story accordingly.

■ CHOICES
Make story choices, ranging from dialogue responses to actions. These will either affect the characters, the scene's outcome, or the ending you get.

■ EXPLORATION
Immerse yourself in a bizarre world full of weirdos and sad people! Talk with colorful NPCs, poke around the environment, or ignore it all.

■ COMPLETELY RANDOM CR*P
Maybe you'll have to use a shopping cart to run away from thugs? Perhaps you'll have to fill out the documents or gamble with a street corner lunatic? Who knows? (I do.)



■ AN OFFICE CHAIR
You can spin in it.
