Introduction
Hi! Let's play OFF!
OFF is a French RPG made in RPG maker by a guy named Mortis Ghost and his small team known as Unproductive Funtime. While fairly bland mechanically, the world of OFF is full of bizarre characters, haunting music, and a strange lore that oozes a sense of wrongness. Originally released in 2003 in French only, in 2008 the Reconstructed Game Team translated it fully to English and patched out several bugs.
The game is available for free here (both translated and in the original French) if you'd like to play it yourself!
If you do not have adblock, watch out for the pop-ups on the hosting mirrors provided here.I've been told that at least one person has contracted malware from bad pop-up ads on the mirrors provided through starman.net. I haven't seen anything suspicious there myself, but if you're worried about it I've hosted the game on my personal webspace here.
An extended version of the soundtrack is also available for free right here if you'd like to have the cool tunes for yourself. (Hosted mirror for the soundtrack)
For discussion in this thread, please refrain from posting spoilers!! This includes fanart of content and characters we haven't seen yet!I'm really excited to see reactions as people witness the weird shit for the first time! Please don't spoil it for people who haven't seen the game before.
Very special thanks to GranCheater for making all of the animated gifs in this LP for me. He is a beautiful animal.
So, are you ready?

RottenK posted:
I'm almost ashamed of posting my scribbles now that we have some actually good goon-made fanart
What if our righteous protagonist chose some other sport to serve as his martial art?

There we go.
Someone else made two later bosses, too! Buuut obviously can't show those.
Croccers made me laugh so hard I thought I was gonna pee:
Croccers posted:

RoeCocoa is a wonderful amazing person who I love:
RoeCocoa posted:
"Inspiration" means "to breathe in," and "expiration" means "to breathe out." They both have the same root word as "spirit," which literally means "breath."
Wait a minute.
"Impure spirit" = "bad breath." Purifying the zones turns them white and nullifies the effects of sugar. I know what's going on here!
