Original Thread: Purification in Progress - Let's Play OFF

 

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?

Fanart

AMAZING FANART SECTION

Alert! Fanart section contains spoilers!! MAN DOES IT EVER CONTAIN GIANT SPOILERS I'M NOT KIDDING

RottenK illustrates the best way to handle a boss in this game:



Yokaiy blew my mind with this incredible look at the Batter vs the sea dragons:



Yokaiy also shows us the best way to ruin a bathtub forever:



RottenK presents us with a quandary:

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?







RiggedDeathTrap created an abomination unto RPG Maker games:

Rigged Death Trap posted:

I Would play Charles Barkley Gaiden: Shut up and Jam: Realms of Purification. The SpinOFF chapter of the Hoopz Barkley Saga

I found some unused concept art from that:


it's one Alpha HellBane and OmegaDwarf. Supposed to be supporting characters. Hmm.

Midnight Voyager made us a slightly less violent batter for Saints Row 3!

Does this count as fanart? Ehe.

(He's wearing the Judge on his back. Also, now that I look at it, not sure why it shows his hair as clipping through the hat... it didn't ingame.)



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:

If I had the in-game images I'd remake it

So what? Where's some spectres I can beat the shit out of?
I just love the Batter's attitude.

RottenK gives us this elegantly horrifying view of the monorail encounter:


Kaubocks always looks on the bright side of life:

Kaubocks posted:

I like to imagine an alternate reality where the Critic Burnt isn't miserable and instead just really excited.



Croccers makes a shitty thing I made like, SO much better:

Croccers posted:

We can go deeper

I should of put more sparkles on it.

Devious Vacuum is a shining star and we sisters for life:

Post Processing, much like the rest of the thread, is fascinated by the Valzong-burnt:


Soapydishwater drew this amazing burnt:


Khisareth fucking painted this with real paints that is amazing:


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!

Aeros Wilhelm posted:

Zeikier's silhouette piece for the secret boss makes me real sad:


Yokaiy has literal insane chops with pixel art I can't even handle it:
