I recently got to see a demo of the upcoming indie adventure RPG, Thirsty Suitors, from Outerloop Games and Annapurna. While the game is already interesting just to look at it, it was the complex main character who caught my attention. In the slice of game I saw, narrated by creative director Chandana Ekanayake, we saw protagonist Jala steeling herself to return to her hometown after a ruinous break-up.
As the main character, Jala is confronting her previous mistakes and what led her to the low point her life seems to be at currently. The game features turn-based battles against Jala’s various exes — including one named Sergio in the demo — as a sort of exaggerated portrayal of her grappling with her failed relationships. There are several other mechanics, including skateboarding and cooking, which I saw briefly.
