So far the only one I’ve really played a lot of is Omori. I really enjoyed it!
Started playing The Coffin of Andy and Leyley last night and it is really something that’s for sure…
Always Sometimes Monsters gets my vote! It was a good story and I felt like it was a great use of a weekend. Might not be everyone’s cup of tea (text-based, no combat), but I loved it!
Vampires Dawn. I haven’t checked out the second and third part yet, but I still think about the first from time to time. I had it in a magazine CD 20 years ago.
LISA the painful.
I’m not sure it counts as it’s not made in RPG Maker anymore, but To the Moon is amazing
Right now it’s probably, assuming it’s using pokemon SDK, Pokemon Empire by Octavius3MC (if I’m correct) on Discord and a talented crew.
Do you like lengthy games fangames like Rejuvenation that have a gym for all types? They got you covered as that’s their whole plan by the time the game is finished.
Do you like the Reborn and Rejuvenation style field effects that can really change how you play against an opponent? They have their own besides the ones from reborn/rejuv.
Do you like more challenging gym leaders than a typical pokemon game? They have it.
Do you like starting with non-starters for your choice of starters? They got you covered.
Do you like fakemon and old pokemon getting new fake evolutions? They have a good enough amount of fakemon spread, with some old pokemon getting evos. Looking at you, [REDACTED] with your patterns.
Do you like not just new moves but also changes to new moves? They got you covered. Splash that lowers accuracy? Sign me up!
Do you like changes to older and newer pokemon to make them feel more balanced for the part of the game you’re in? Check, I’m pretty sure. Things are difficult enough that I can’t tell the difference as a pretty casual pokemon player.
Think fairy type is too OP? For region lore (unless changed or removed) reasons learned in the first city/town from an NPC, normal type is also super effective against fairy.

I played A Blurred Line back in the day and loved it. I wish it would turn out that the creator ended up making an indie game or something, but I fear its story will never be completed.
Surprised I haven’t heard Lisa! The humor is super dark so I wouldn’t recommend it to everyone, but it’s one of the best RPGs ever made.
To The Moon
and it’s not even close
What do you think about Finding Paradise? I liked it even more than the previous
Haven’t played it yet. My goal is to replay To The Moon with my partner and then play through the rest of the games from the studio, including the newly released Beach episode.
Got it… and the Beach episode is news to me, guess I also need to catch up now!
Omori
FNAFB RPG (Kind of crude and NSFW). It is surprisingly deep, and I got a script that turned it into a hack and slash game (yes really).
There was a really bad call of duty RPG, and was the first “dream” game I played, even though it sucked.
My other favorite game was my own spaceship battle game that made.
Oneshot
Don’s Adventures, cause it came with RPG Maker 2000 and essentially taught me how to use the program.
Never actually played other people’s games. I had more fun making them.
