ELECTROBASIS is a 3d dialogue-driven game, sprinkled with platforming and puzzle quests. Meet a cast of heavenly hosts that come with a MYRIAD of issues, and help to fix (most of) them!
The casino yearns for a savior - she awaits a restoration.
Hundreds, if not THOUSANDS of years ago, a Biblical rapture fell upon the Earth, leading for angels to walk beside man, in effort to make humankind more holy living by example. Which, nowadays, isn’t all that sacred of a concept - angels are everywhere! THEY’ve integrated human characteristics into their own culture, rather than vice versa.
Made up of pure electricity, cherubs take up object heads to anthropomorphize their form. They own businesses, live in casinos, and are free to gamble their heart away. YOU, as a fallen angel, crashland SMACKdab in the center of a casino in Vegas - LITERALLY crashland. By playing this game you agree to clean-up duty*, fixing up the spark inside! Start with fixing up the casino herself by turning back on the power, and then expand into the happiness of the residents in the rooms upstairs.
INCLUDES:
A casino and hotel to explore!
Five different residents that have something wrong with them!
Exposition dump in text form for YOUR, yes your, eyeballs to scan over!
2010s dance party ending!
At least one rat
Music from famous musician REN! You know Ren, don’t you?
[ katabasis (n.)
a mytheme or trope in which the hero embarks on a journey to the underworld
any journey downwards or fall ]
*RatRoomGames cannot legally force players to improve the spark of the casino.
Heyas everyone with electrobasis finally out to the public I can share my super awesome OC I made for the game, Fanford!!! They're a special lil' goober with a special lil' crush on Tycho!!
If you want to learn more about them check out their doc here:
hey YOU! do YOU like putting characters in situations and imagining their response to absurd scenarios? (Or ranking them normally, as the site is made for?) RatRoomGames NOW has a tierlist & relationship chart with the freaks within ELECTROBASIS !!! Have fun, rats :-]
Infographic for ELECTROBASIS! Half meant to explain more about how cherubs work, half meant as a character guide :-)
[TEXT & BONUS NOTES UNDER CUT]
[Cherubs are made of pure electricity! To ground themselves, they take up objects for their heads. Without said object to attach to, cherubs struggle to make a humanoid form and lack speech. Rather than flesh, cherubs have glowing, white "skin"*.]
[Tails can be shaped & look however! They make themselves tails instead of halos, always poking out from under their clothes. The clothes that cherubs don are both to be more familiar to humans & out of common curtesy for other beings eyes**. Object heads are found and practical, while wings are moreso manifested. They are purely aesthetic, as cherubs can't fly.***]
*Their electric skin can be stylized in different ways! Rat Room Game employees have drawn it ranging from a bright, neon yellow to a dull blue, and none are incorrect. Just interpretation
**Cherubs have no private parts that need to be shielded; only bright, blinding light
***Usually, they float behind the character. Despite being unable to fly, they can still flap em!
what type of heads do all the characters in game have?
LEFT TO RIGHT:
Michealwave has a microwave, Tycho has a calculator, August has an iPod, Clara has a thermostat, Manager has a slot machine, Lady Lashes has a flip phone, Jeri has a sliding keyboard phone (y2k style), Rexla has an amp, and...
Simeon has a paper shredder! Since they're also the complaints desk staff.
can you show us what the players model looks like? i was desperately attempting to look at my own tail in the mirror while playing after noticing all the other cherubs had unique tails and was saddened that i could not see my own. i probably looked akin to a dog chasing its tail but i was curious ,,,,
HAHA of course!!! :-)
heres the busted, worn down NOT staff (as the sticky note clearly states) uniform the manager gives you! theres also unique wing assets, but those are dependent on what head ya pick
Jeri, Lady Lashes, and Rexla all use she/her, & the Manager, Tycho, Michealwave, August, and Jeremy all use he/him.
Clara is genderfluid, and uses they/she. In-game, Manager refers to Simeon with they/them, but Simeon themselves is pretty gender ambivalent. Doesn't care either way. Manager also refers to the casino with she/her!
if it isn't too much of a hassle, could you show us the wings of all player head variants?
NOT a hassle at all :-]
"Buddycoin" for the cash register, watch hands for the watch, electrical sockets for the adaptor, radio mic for the radio (NOT a TV unlike popular belief), and solar panels for the lightbulb!
Rat Room Games is excited to announce ELECTROBASIS - the movie!! We can’t thank @prattprattpratt enough for accepting the important role of ‘The Manager’.
Keep an eye out for further cast announcements :-)
