Zelda-like RPG makes overworld exploration a joy

As a kid, I often bumped into the rocks, trees, and one-sided barriers of Pokemon’s worlds. Because of this, any RPG that makes it possible to navigate the world with ease is a favorite. Radical Fish Games showcased gameplay for their RPG, which was titled Project Terra in which we see the protagonist leaping and sprinting through its vast overworld — and it looks like a joy.

Is it possible to find an anthropomorphized sausage in this area?

Upon seeing Hottie & The Sausage Machine, I was filled with questions like: “Why is there a sausage in such beautiful scenery? What’s a tiny horse carriage doing in the woods?” This clip of the WIP posted by Hyperblast Games prompts more questions than it answers, but that’s precisely what drew me in. It’s a really beautiful and colorful environment, and it just seems to embody a playfulness rarely seen in games too concerned with fitting between the lines.
