It's Ponpai! It's a comedic, offbeat monster-collecting RPG with a strategic turn-based battle system. Gather your ponpai friends, explore the city, and help out the local community!

The world is full of strange monsters, called ponpai, living amongst humans. They can talk, love, have jobs, vote, and most importantly, they all enjoy a friendly fight! Gather up your closest ponpai friends and form a team to defeat other ponpai!<img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4099650/extras/66fb97aca16fc528a9f2ddfe4517dd4e.avif?t=1767652072" alt="The plot" width=830 height=206 />You play as Jasmine, a 26 year old human who hasn't left her apartment in five years. Her hobbies include sleeping and doomscrolling. When her new neighbour, Nico, forces her to go outside, she learns to make friends and live her life.<img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4099650/extras/1e4786a96ecea02b56e3665512bd8bb6.avif?t=1767652072" alt="A small woman on her phone" width=162 height=184 />Jasmine isn't out to save the world on an epic quest. The game is split into many chapters, where she'll do things like stop a coffee conglomerate from taking over a local shop, or investigate rumours of a killer in the woods, or even just try to make it to a movie premiere before it starts! But through it all, she might end up saving the world anyway...<img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4099650/extras/9cdf3ec1b4506f7ad5d10b3a750aec37.avif?t=1767652072" alt="Battling" width=830 height=206 />Battles take place across two &quot;fields&quot;, yours and the opponents'. You each have three ponpai on the field at once, and each ponpai has three attacks they can do. Each attack covers a certain area of the field!<img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4099650/extras/215ba61380b2e2fe89198c12b050539e.avif?t=1767652072" alt="Battle screen of the game. You are currently Pendle, the round penguin, and your headbutt attack does not reach any enemies." width=1024 height=600 />Of course, if your attack won't reach any opponents, you can move your ponpai around to MAKE it reach!<img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4099650/extras/e566eaef5e25851768efb6ac42b366c9.avif?t=1767652072" alt="You (Pendle) have moved up. There are now enemies in line with your headbutt!" width=1024 height=600 />Wow!Attacks can do more than basic damage, too! You can apply buffs or debuffs, heal, apply status effects, and even leave traps on the ground!Your goal is to get the opposing team's collective HP to zero. Don't worry, though, this is all good fun for them, and they merely walk away a little tired from the fight! In fact, if you're lucky, they might ask to join your team afterwards!<img class="bb_img" src="https://shared.akamai.steamstatic.com/store_item_assets/steam/apps/4099650/extras/74589a5a8e4acf81b6c644ca566a4898.avif?t=1767652072" alt="What is a ponpai anyway?" width=830 height=206 />You haven't noticed those cute little creatures?
