Xuan Omega (The Demo)
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
WHAT DO WE HAVE HERE?
A twisted JRPG with a knack for unpredictability, chaos, and suffering...ALL through the lens of a young orphan named Xuan. With no other feasible options in sight, Xuan has joined a gang that is based around his orphanage, and is forced to start a new life amongst his unlikely peers.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE?
To me, the most impressionable and powerful forms of content have a knack for peculiarity, and can evoke REAL emotion. I long to create a world that can throw curveballs of all forms at the player in hopes of constructing a true EXPERIENCE, rather than just a game that is played for sake of itself.
UNCERTAINTY
Xuan exists in a world that is untamed and full of surprises. The common man wouldn't be wise to venture around without protection, let alone a young child with no supervision. While the path or objective may be clear to a certain extent, Xuan is able to become sidetracked VERY easily within the world due to the proclivity of the inhabitants...some of which include:
DERANGED SOCIOPATHS
PSYCHOTIC KIDNAPPERS
TRUE BLOOD WAR VETERANS
When a world is littered with nothing but garbage, joining a gang might not be such a bad idea. Xuan certainly doesn't think so...and it shows. Xuan is not an angel himself. Battling enemies will grant Xuan higher statistics, more skills, and can even recruit party members along his journey.
SUFFERING
Xuan's slippery predicament is reflected in all facets of the world. Striving to improve and potentially fix his life is seemingly impossible considering the constant appearance of blood, death, and suffering.
Games tend to be glossed over with falsehoods of perfection and glee. I am striving to create a counterpoint, one that can show the player the uglier side of reality. Xuan has no choice but to acknowledge this truth...whether he chooses to harmonize with it is completely up to him.
Although the game is still in its preliminary stage, humble strides for the future have been plotted. Here is a list of features and mini projects that I plan to pursue:
- Animated Battlebacks (rather than X & Y movement)
- Shirts & Stickers
- DLC Spin Offs/Sequels (contingent on initial reception)
- Comic Series
- MORE Recruitable Characters
- MORE Items
- MORE Moves
- MORE.......everything.

Very cool, very weird, but I like it. The graphics are just beyond my level of comprehension, but it gives it a super unique tone. And the gameplay and story is fun, great work! This is the third game in the video - 15:16
This game really feels uniquely fun and creative. At times I get confused visually but thats kinda why I like it lol. I'm looking forward to seeing where the story goes. Thanks for sending me the link :D

I have a series on YT where I check out the weirdest games I can find and Xuan Omega was a worthy addition.
Thanks to the developer for requesting me to play the game! I enjoyed the game and looking forward for more updates to come!
My review is all throughout my video (not really the usual review but everything I say on the video is generally what could possibly help the developer!)
This game reminded me of the RPGMaker and bit games back then that were near to my heart because I enjoy those genres and it's good that in 2019, there are still people who create these kinds of games that are generally fun to explore and mess around with.
Hope to see more! :)
I gave it a try. It's visually confusing but otherwise interesting!
