Just a Chest (TBD)

The adventure of a hazy treasure chest, a prince without memory, a heroic slime and a cat who doesn’t like her coat color.

In the creative world of gaming, Just a Chest takes an unconventional spin on the traditional human-monster dynamic. As the name suggests, instead of stepping into the role of a classic hero or an infamous monster, players take on the persona of a seemingly mundane treasure chest.

In this unique JRPG, the treasure chest, tired of a monotonous existence, discovers the ability to move independently, sparking its adventurous mission. The narrative then presents an intriguing choice: ally with humans, side with monsters, or view the world from a neutral standpoint. This choice-driven narrative allows each decision to shape your journey vastly differently, fracturing the plot into multiple unique storylines, thereby enhancing replayability.

Just a Chest makes every non-playable character significant by updating their dialogues and interactions with the narrative progression. The game successfully creates a living environment where interactions change based on your decisions and time, adding an extra layer of realism.

The treasure chest’s unique abilities offer an even more distinctive gaming experience. As a player, you can conjure items out of thin air, including money, potions, and equipment. Gaining exploration experience will turn into chest power, which you can use for creating items, adding a clever twist to the typical experience-based progression.

The combat system compliments this unconventional setting. As a treasure chest, the combat mainly focuses on the use of items coupled with strategy. Further depth is added through conversations with bosses, which provides an unconventional way to affect combat outcomes. Instead of always relying on aggression, calming enemies down becomes another layer of potential combat strategy.

Offering an immersive world with breath-taking narrative and unique mechanics, Just a Chest could be a thrilling experience for players seeking a story-driven game that pushes beyond traditional boundaries. The game’s refreshingly unique concept serves as a reminder of the limitless possibilities that the world of gaming holds.
