Razzopolis
Eve awakens in a void between worlds with a patchwork of memories of her old life, unsure if she is alive or dreaming. Razzopolis is the city of the awakened, those who made it beyond the dreamscape and reshaped their lives. Rival gangs are ruining the town and magic is everywhere, making this a difficult time to wake up in The Bank. Can you trust the vapid smoke broker or skeleton mayoral figure who collected you? Or is the real question, who can you trust in this surreal world if you can’t trust your own mind?
The Basics
Let’s get down to the basics of Razzopolis by creator Zoe Maxine. This is an early access demo for Razzopolis, a fantasy decopunk visual novel. It is an investigative text chat adventure about being stuck in a 1920s-esque world of magic, monsters and hats that talk to you. Because it is so early access, not all of the planned features function yet, such as the music and sound components. Keep an eye out for future updates as the game develops.

The gameplay is accessible only through dialogue choices and the content could be considered mature with the complex storytelling style. The game deals with themes of anxiety, depression and isolation with the memory loss aspects set over a surreal, spooky backdrop. There are some discoverable objects as you play, but they result in more dialogue options. You can read and ask the questions at your own pace in whichever order you like with no consequence.
Why Should I Play?
So why should you play Razzopolis? I would suggest this game to anyone who is looking for a narrative game with a high-interest writing style and heavy world-building elements. Because it is playable in a browser and the gameplay consists of dialogue options and point-and-click exploration, it is accessible to anyone. Some themes are more suited for older gamers, but it is not a horror game.
