I have a short standing tradition to take whoever I consider to be my Best Friend that year and make them a custom game. In 2022 it was my friend Justin, this is that game containing some slight modifications and meant to be canonical to my on-going 12-months-1-story project. Hope you enjoy!

a 300 mb game is part of 12M1S???
there is no way im piecing together this timeline
even less the lore
EDIT: nvm this game fun im probably gonna play it all XD
EDIT 2: bruh i cant get to popo city im too bad D=
TLDR; You can skip this one. It's a sub-plot with world building. One reveal that can be found elsewhere too.
Long answer: Is this game part of 12M1S? Yes and no.
I had always wanted to make a looter shooter RPG game, so I made one for my friend's birthday. It ended up taking way longer then I expected and quickly became my largest project to date (about 850mb uncompressed). After I finished it, I modified it some to fit it into the 12M1S canon. It's more of a sub-plot that helps to flesh out the world more.
However, if you are looking for the main piece of connecting story, there is an NPC in Popo-City named Dr. Hull that gives a side quest that will clarify everything important you need to know from this game. Once you reach the open-world part of the game just keep going South until you find Popo-city. I can reach it within 20 minutes.
If I have time I might turn that section into a separate stand-alone game for people like you attempting to piece the story together.
The 'reveal' for the 12M1S can be figured out elsewhere but is explicitly shown in this game. Most of the post-challenge canon games add world-building and are setting something up for the future. In terms of the main story behind 12M1S they not critical.
If you have any more questions, feel free to let me know!
just saying i am hard locked into the artifacts of old area. i completed the bossfight ( in which the boss cant harm you.) and I cant leave the area where the bandits were very sad but good game otherwise
Thanks for the feedback! I'll look into that and see if I can figure out what's happening.
Do you mind if you provide a little more info:
- What level are you
- What happens if you reload your last save in the area
- A screenshot of the issue would also be useful
Thank you so much!
to answer the first question i am level 17. if I reload I spawn in the room before the bossfight where there are the shops and the save. this door is blocking me leaving the area and I do not know if the bandtis in the area are supposed to respawn. as you can see I have beaten the boss because I have his gun
