Bebder

Bebder is an independent role-playing game set in a fictional world that uses satire as its main narrative tool. The player begins as an ordinary character drawn into a strange conflict involving corporations, absurd situations, and exaggerated versions of modern culture. The setting is intentionally minimal but detailed enough to support exploration and progression. Locations resemble familiar urban environments altered by humor and distortion. The world operates under simple logic — everything functions to serve parody, not realism — and each area offers new variations of this theme.

Gameplay Structure and Core Loop

The design of Bebder combines standard RPG mechanics with comedic interaction. The player moves between zones, completes objectives, and engages in turn-based battles against unconventional opponents.
The gameplay loop follows a clear pattern:

•         Explore regions to collect items or trigger events.
•         Engage in combat using a turn-based system.
•         Recruit or interact with characters who can join the player’s team.
•         Progress through story sequences that reveal more of the world’s structure.
  This cycle forms the basis of the game’s rhythm. Advancement depends equally on exploration and observation, as many hidden elements are discovered through interaction rather than linear guidance.

Story Progression and Character Interaction

Bebder builds its narrative around parody and exaggeration. Dialogue, item descriptions, and encounters constantly refer to broader cultural references while maintaining an internal logic. Characters act as caricatures of familiar roles — allies, antagonists, or bystanders — each contributing to the larger satirical framework. The story evolves through small discoveries and player choices, rather than fixed cutscenes. Relationships among characters are intentionally inconsistent, shifting tone from serious to absurd depending on context. This dynamic creates a layered structure where humor coexists with standard RPG pacing.

Visual Design and Technical Foundation

The game is created in a 2D pixel-art format using the RPG Maker engine. Each area consists of tile-based environments with distinct palettes and simple navigation layouts. The interface displays health, inventory, and dialogue in a minimal but functional style. Turn-based combat uses static character sprites and text-based feedback. The audio relies on looping background tracks and sound effects to mark events or combat transitions. These technical elements maintain a consistent tone and reinforce the parody of traditional role-playing design.
