The brilliant new puzzler made by a Davis student partially out of spite - 48 hills

The Remake of the End of the Greatest RPG of All Time is a deduction puzzle set in the final hour of a lost, nonexistent 1990s Japanese role-playing game. Players investigate a central mystery by using an “original” game manual, director’s commentary, and clips from an unreleased documentary. The project began as a student class assignment at UC Davis, where instructors advised against making a large, hundred-hour RPG and instead building something small. The creator pursued the opposite idea as a joke and a challenge, shaping the game into a compact experience that blends old-school RPG presentation with knowledge-based puzzle solving and humor.

Players need to use the original game's manual, director's commentary, and clips of an unreleased documentary to deduce the mystery at the core of it all: What is the greatest RPG of all time?"
