This is an entry to RPG Jam with a theme of NPC's are NEVER helpful (and, by accident, NO weapons). In this case, the main NPC, Lucius is never helpful.

Light Hearted is a classic 2D overhead pixel art themed role playing game based in modern times.

You play the role of James, a hard working intern in his mid 20's. His roommate, and best friend, is Lucius, "the messy friend". He loves helping his friends and has a hard time saying no to most anything. James has a thing for Tori, a joyful animal lover that volunteers at the local animal shelter, and he hopes to do something about it soon. Very soon!

Join James and Lucius for one day in their busy lives and see what it is to be Light Hearted!

PC, web, and mobile phone friendly! Gamepad friendly!

I got called out in the game. The part about running away hits deep.

I hope that you liked it! It can cut deep, but it's all a part of this beautiful life!
