The Adventures of Badgersaw Chapter 1

About the Game

Lost, Confused, and In Too Deep

The Adventures of Badgersaw is a narrative-driven RPG filled with dry British humour, unsettling monsters, and the kind of jolly denial that comes when all hope is lost.

After taking a wrong turn, Badgersaw and his companions find themselves trapped inside a vast alien cave. What begins as a simple adventure slowly spirals into something far stranger.

Escape is the goal. Surviving long enough to do so is another matter entirely.

Explore, Fight and Talk your way out

Badgersaw blends old-school adventure game design, JRPG-inspired combat, and visual-novel-style dialogue into a tightly paced experience.

• Explore a hostile cave filled with strange creatures and stranger devices

• Solve environmental puzzles and uncover hidden paths

• Talk (or argue) with whatever inhabits the depths

• Hit nasty creatures and furniture with your sword

Motivation is a resource

Each party member uses a unique resource tied directly to their personality:

• Badgersaw gets lost in his Malice

• Tantalum's potential is gated by his Motivation

• Mr L denies the existence of magic, but stops every now and again to recharge his Mana

Badgersaw can restore Motivation (and Mana) by slapping his teammates in a bold display of leadership.

Customise your approach

As you progress, you’ll unlock new abilities and equipment that let you shape how the party functions. Choose carefully—wouldn't want to die, would we?

But death is part of the experience

Resources are limited, saves are scarce, and death is always close. Each death also gives you a unique scene, so you can have fun dying, too.
