Release Date: August 15, 2025
A remastered version of the free RPG from 2008, released under the same title. OFF allows us to take control over a baseball player. Our protagonist visits various locations, dealing with enemies and trying to "cleanse the world.
In 2008, OFF, a free RPG game, was released. It was created using the RPG Maker 2003 tool. Years later, the developer known as Mortis Ghost (one of the original authors) entered a collaboration with Fangamer. They prepared a remaster of this production with the same title.
In OFF we watch the action from a bird's eye view.
We are controlling a baseball player and our task is to "cleanse the world". This involves the need to explore a series of locations and get rid of the ghosts haunting them. Our actions are closely observed by a cat named Judge.
The adventure leads us through a post office, a library, a shopping center, an amusement park, and a factory. The game world is divided into zones protected by Guardians and we must defeat them, thereby gaining so-called zodiac cards and gaining access to subsequent locations. In each of them, various missions await completion, and environmental and logical puzzles await solving.
Of course, there are also opponents we have to defeat. The game approaches the combat system in an unusual way, because although it was inspired by jRPG games, the battles are not turn-based. Instead, we make the next moves after our character has "cooled down". The game also allows us to automate battles.
Apart from a baseball bat, we can make use of the power of elements such as... smoke, sugar, meat, plastic or metal.
OFF has simple graphics made in pixel art technique.

Game Ratings for OFF Video Game.
Checkpoint Gaming: 8.5 / 10 by Bree Maybe
Despite the passage of time, OFF still holds up incredibly well. The newer translation lets the utterly hilarious dialogue shine, the updates to the combat make it far more intuitive to use, but the part that really holds it together, the story, hasn't changed at all, and honestly didn't need to. It's still a well-written, bite-sized experience that deserves the attention of anyone who loves newer RPG maker games or games inspired by that genre. You owe it to yourself to finally get around to beating OFF.
Cubed3: 6 / 10
Off has always been a strange, atmospheric, and undeniably influential RPG - one that’s ultimately more compelling for its ideas than for its gameplay. This remaster is easily the best way to experience it, thanks to its various QoL improvements, even if the new soundtrack may prove divisive among long-time fans. Combat and pacing issues prevent it from standing shoulder to shoulder with the genre’s greats, but its bizarre world, cryptic storytelling, and historical importance still make it a fascinating curiosity for lovers of unconventional indies. You may not end up liking it that much, but it’s the kind of game that’s worth experiencing at least once.
GameLuster: 9 / 10 by Mateusz Niewierowski
