The Chronicles of

Childhood Reality

A single-player turn-based RPG you hold in one hand. Walk a hand-drawn world, talk to the people standing in it, and fight your way through thirty-five stages of a story that hands itself to somebody else before the end.

What it is

You start in a yard with a broom, and you leave home because your brothers are in the way. What follows is a walk through six towns, each with its own fighting style and its own idea of what strength is for — and a campaign that turns out to be about somebody you took fifty gold from in the first five minutes.

Everything happens on one screen at a time. There is no camera to chase and nothing scrolling off the edge: a place is exactly as big as your phone, and when somewhere needs to be bigger, it is two places with a door between them.

What it looks like

It does not want anything from you

No account. No sign-in. No advertising, no analytics, no tracking, and nothing to buy inside the game. Your save stays on your phone, and the app does not send it anywhere — because it does not send anything anywhere.

The long version is on the privacy page, and it is short too.

Languages

The game plays in English, 繁體中文 and Español, switchable from the title screen at any time. The story, every skill and every conversation are translated — anything that is not yet falls back to English rather than going blank.

Getting it

Childhood Reality is coming to the App Store and Google Play. If something goes wrong, or you just want to say something about it, the support page is one address and it is read by the person who made the game.
