Microgame for Nintendo 3DS
2023-03-08

PSA: You probably do not want this microgame.

Available now for a limited time, exclusively on the Nintendo 3DS. You can purchase a digital copy directly from Nintendo's website until the eShop closes on March 27th, 2023.

This game is extremely short. You can read more about why I'm releasing this now, as well as future plans, on my public Patreon article.

The rest of this website covers the upcoming
JRPG content that is still in development.

House to yourself. Make Dad proud.

Otto is going on a week-long business trip. He trusts that you won't do anything too crazy while he's gone. Will you sneak into that creepy abandoned house? Help some friends move into a new apartment? Maybe you should mow the lawn before he gets back.

Classic battles. Modern features.

Grow stronger in the new Hybrid-ATB battle system, combining a text log and rolling numbers with instant feedback from HP and SP bars, visual area-of-effect guides when targeting, and a slick cooldown clock to see whose turn is next. Don't forget about Auto-Battle and Fast-Forward!

Phone is mightier than sword.

Order some cheap supplies from Spamazon, check out local requests on Begslist, or see the latest discussions on Cheddit. You might want to install some widgets later, to make your phone even more useful. Make sure you text your dad regularly to save your game!

Stay tuned for updates!

Note from the Creator

I was lucky enough to be a kid back when EarthBound and Final Fantasy 6 were new. Those stories changed my life. I played them at precisely the right age, when I was a naive little sponge. They ingrained in me a deep love of helping other people.

I might not know you, but I suspect that you could use a little bit of kindness, compassion, and love. I hope that this story can deliver those things to you. And so, this game is my gift to you, whoever you may be.

Yes, that means the entire game is free.

Otosan is a non-profit endeavor, funded by contributions from gamers like you. The more pledges this Patreon project receives, the sooner Otosan can be completed. If enough folks chip in, I can shed my mercenary work, and develop this full-time.

No matter what happens, I will continue to create as much content as I can, as fast as I can. It is truly a labor of love.
