Jailbird Nocturne
A downloadable game for Windows
The Guard Poggles have abducted you to a prison in a secret underworld - the Void of Interzonal Space. As you make your escape with another inmate (a cheese devil named Bleucifer), you stumble into a contract to track down a rogue wizard and prevent a demonic apocalypse. Underfunded, understaffed, and on the run, can you and your ragtag team get the job done and earn your freedom?
Jailbird Nocturne is a turn-based RPG about slaying demons, destroying prisons, and having to save the world when it shouldn't be any of your business, featuring a character-focused story in a surreal contemporary fantasy setting. It is the sequel to Danger Zone Friends, but you don't need to have played the original to enjoy Jailbird Nocturne.

Features:
- 10+ hours of adventure! A tale full of humor, twists, and intrigue.
- Lovable cast of characters! Befriend Feta Fiends, Poggles, and Nekomancers.
- Fully original art, sound, and music!
- Challenging but fair turn-based combat! Time your moves carefully and use every tool at your disposal to survive.
- Bonk enemies with a bass guitar like you're in FLCL or whatever! Also, I don't know how the Gunchucks work either.

Bonus Content!
The game itself is free, but if you donate $4 or more, you'll also receive the game's .mp3 sountrack* and a .pdf walkthrough as thanks!
*The soundtrack is streamable (but not downloadable) on Soundcloud. Only new tracks created for Jailbird Nocturne are included. Tracks previously composed for Danger Zone Friends can be found in its soundtrack.
You can also buy the physical release from the Pizza Pranks Tape Market! (USB in a cassette case, $10 + shipping, includes the paid bonus content)

Controls are Z, X, and arrow keys. Downloadable for Windows. Created with RPG Maker VX Ace by a single person from 2020-2024.

Thank you so much for making this fantastic game. I was determined to beat it after I read your post mortem, having identified with so much of it, and I'm glad I did.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! It means a lot! I'm glad you liked it
Let me know if you want to chat game design any time! You had so many cool ideas in here, and I've been swimming around in the "I MUST MAKE A JRPG" latent space for a while now.
