Turn-based RPG following a broke private investigator and six misfits trying to stop the universe's destruction—though no one else believes the threat is real. You're based on Anachronox, a derelict alien-made planet now populated by criminals and drifters. Combat uses an ATB system where you queue actions for your party members. Exploration takes you across multiple planets and dimensional spaces. The cast includes a washed-up detective, a sentient robot, and eventually a miniaturized planet that joins as a party member. Dialogue leans heavily into noir pastiche mixed with absurdist humor. Expect JRPG structure—towns, dungeons, random encounters—wrapped in a science-fiction shell with pre-rendered backgrounds and early 3D character models. If you want story-driven RPG mechanics without fantasy trappings, this delivers that.
