Reviews

“On the whole, Cricket: Jae’s Really Peculiar Game is a treat, and the confidence with which it approaches its frequently gut-wrenching narrative and merges it effortlessly with completely off-the-wall shenanigans is commendable, putting plenty of bigger budget competition to shame.”
HeyPoorPlayer

“Sometimes, a game doesn’t need to be huge or full of fancy graphics to touch your heart. Cricket: Jae’s Really Peculiar Game is one of those special games. It mixes fun turn-based battles, cartoon-style art, and a deep, emotional story about a boy who wants to bring his mom back. It’s funny, strange, sad, and beautiful all at once.”
Turn Based Lovers

“Cricket: Jae’s Really Peculiar Game has a lot of style and a lot of heart, and the people who grew up on both Earthbound and Super Mario RPG are going to find something here that scratches a hard-to-reach itch.”

About This Game

Cricket: Jae's Really Peculiar Game is a hand-animated JRPG from Studio Kumiho about loss, loneliness, friendship, and the weird adventures you and your friends got up to.

After a devastating loss, Jae would do anything to fix the past. Blast off with him and his friends on a journey to the gates of Yimmelia, a fabled land on the moon that’s rumored to grant any wish.

This is a modern JRPG inspired by classics, but trims the fat. No grinding. No random encounters. You’ll explore forests, cities, rock concerts and more, with traversal that is always fun and dynamic; you can dash and charge into objects (and people!) just to see what happens. How you treat the NPCs, or annoy them, will influence game events and combat.

Combat incorporates timed hits, with special combinations as you team up with amazing party members. Build the meter, attack and defend, and unleash awesome combos for better rewards!

Traverse forests, explore cities, ruin a rock concert, and crash a fandom convention, all while throwing your JRPG expectations out the window. Experience a modernized take on the genre: no random encounters, a sprint feature, headbutting, and no grinding!

Recruit and travel with five new friends, customize your battle experience with six playable characters, and nail your timed hits to build your meter. Wreck your opponents by unleashing powerful duo and trio attacks! The better you do in combat, the better the loot: more XP, more items, more money!

Freely interact with NPCs during conversations: stand there and listen to them gab, throw items at them, or just walk away! But remember: your actions have consequences, how you treat people in this world affects combat.

Consult with your party members about your surroundings, how to beat enemies, or just to check in on your pals. Dive into the chaotic and overlapping dialogue featuring irreverent conversations and scenarios. You never know what'll happen next!
