Unepic

Unepic is a 2D Metroidvania video game, known for its extensive dialogue, humor, and numerous references to tabletop role-playing games, science fiction, fantasy, and popular culture. The game was developed and published by Francisco Téllez de Meneses.

The term "Unepic" in this context refers to the game's deliberate subversion of the epic fantasy tropes commonly found in the genre. While the game features a vast castle, magical creatures, and a quest, its protagonist, Daniel, is an ordinary guy transported into this world from a mundane bathroom break. He lacks heroic qualities and often makes self-aware and sarcastic comments, highlighting the absurdity of the situation. The game embraces its lack of traditional epic grandeur, creating a humorous and engaging experience. Key elements of the game include:

• Dialogue and Humor: The game is characterized by lengthy and often humorous dialogues with NPCs, featuring a distinctive writing style and numerous pop culture references.
