OFF by Mortis Ghost

[Aero]

The game takes place in a world nothing like what you know. The Batter encounters, only a few moments after you gained control, a white, wise and snarky cat with a Cheshire Cat grin that calls himself "The Judge." The people in this world, called the Elsens, are practically all inexplicably identical individuals other than the items merchant Zacharie, who has perfected breaking the fourth wall (not that the other characters are any better; the player is repeatedly addressed personally). Strange ghosts are terrorizing everything in sight and mighty lords rule over the lands of the world, called Zones.

The Batter's mission is to "purify the world" from these spectres, and you have to help him with it.

 

 

CHARACTERS

The Batter is the main protagonist of the game. He is determined to purify the zones of the world and will let no obstacle stand in his way. Although he is sentient and aware that he is a puppet being controlled by a person playing a game, he appears to think and feel independently - but he hardly ever shares his emotions or opinions. 
The Judge (Pablo) is an intelligent cat assigned as the Batter's guardian at the beginning of the game. The Judge at first believes the Batter's mission to be futile, but follows him around the various zones, offering advice or help. 
Zacharie calls himself the "traditional items merchant" that is present in every video game. He is the omnipresent trade with which the Batter can buy weapons and items in exchange for credits. He seems to be interested in the Batter's progress, and is aware that the Batter is being controlled by an otherworldly player. His signature speaking style consists of constant breaking of the fourth wall and chuckling. 
The Add-Ons (Alpha, Omega, and Epsilon) are weapons you receive throughout the game, each with different attacks. They represent each of the three zone guardians. 
Dedan is a highly rude individual who is introduced as the Queen's advisor. Later on he reveals himself as the guardian of Zone 1. 

Japhet is a firebird, and also the guardian of Zone 2. He loves books, and even created a library for the zone's citizens to enjoy. However, he eventually becomes evil and corrupts a cat named Valerie and uses him as a puppet for evil deeds. During the battle against Japhet, he gradually comes out of Valerie's mouth until Valerie is nothing but a corpse atop the bird's head.

 
Enoch is a cold-hearted, rotund individual and is the guardian of Zone 3. He forces his employees to work day and night. As ridiculous as he looks, Enoch is very powerful with his words. 

 

Sugar is an odd girl who appears to be the guardian of Zone 0. She's found in the basement of the first building in the zone, but not until you've defeated the other 3 guardians. After you bet her, she requests the Batter to say goodbye to Zacharie, which may suggest she was also Zacharie's girlfriend. 

Hugo is a sickly young boy who appears to be the Batter's son. He doesn't like his father at all. He's often seen carrying around a large ham. 

Vader Eloha, also known as the Queen, seems to be the Batter's wife. She doesn't seem to care for him, either. She has her own Add-Ons(none of which I could find an image of)-Delta, Sigma, and Ipsilon. 

Valerie was not only the cat corrupted by Japhet, but was also the Judge's brother. Not much about him is known otherwise. 

The Elsens are the stereotypical NPCs of the game. Whenever they reach an extreme emotion(shyness, anger, frustration), their heads go up in smoke and become Burnts. Depending on what emotion(or their personality), they will become one of about 4 different types of Burnts.
