About This Game

Spice Sacrifice is a JRPG style game with randomized action-platformer battles.



Travel through an underworld full of caves of guts and bones, or goo and piercings or other fantastical stuff. But watch out for the spice that permeates the air, it will transport your character's minds to a dimension full of dangerous beasts that they must fight. Not to mention all the other dangers that keep getting people killed in gruesomely bizarre ways.

Two of the main characters are Oregano - the anxious wreck who must rescue his boyfriend, and Yonko Donko - the punk donkey with amnesia. The story will feature themes of sexuality, mental health, queer comradery, and finding a sense of place in a hostile world.



Outside of battle, Spice Sacrifice plays like a JRPG with in-depth story segments, towns, dungeons, managing equipment and items, leveling up and collecting things, and minigames.

Travel the overworld to find and hang out with various NPC's and grow friendships with them and advance the story. The gameplay has lots of intertwining systems to keep everything deep and addicting.



When you enter a battle, the game becomes an action-platformer with completely randomized levels. A random-gen system makes each screen unique, with random wall layouts, enemy placements, powerups, etc. Avoid the enemy's spells and use a variety of high-impact attacks to survive.
