This contest deadline was July 26th, and originated from /r/RPGMaker. 
Oh, hey, you can read what the contest manager said about this game on the thread! 
This game was made a few weeks back for the contest in a total of 8 hours spanning 4-5 days, due to the fact that the Golden Age of Game Mak event was running at the same time. 
More info:

Contest Limitations: 
- Use RPGMaker VX Ace Lite 
- No custom assets of any kind are allowed. However, usage of the character generator included in the VX Ace Lite is allowed. 
- Give the game some sort of silver lining (i.e., some ray of hope) 

This game has been slightly tweaked from its original contest entry. Nevertheless, the original contest entry will be submitted alongside the updated one. 


What others have said about this game: 
"Yes! I'm dead!... wait, why am I so happy about that?" -Korokonee, 2015 
Synopsis: 
You play as a rather generic-looking Evil Overlord's son who is awaiting "visitors" to his father's lair. Little do they know, the visitors have long since ranked up, classed up, and levelled up from their original nooby selves. Do you and your father stand a chance...? And what will the visitors do to you if you don't? (Because you probably don't. Stand a chance, I mean.)
Features! 
- An unconventional hero 
- An unconventional, though not completely cliche-free, story 
- FOUR endings! Count 'em, there's four. You can get them by: 

Spoiler



cheating (or rather, activating a cheat), dying, strategically murdering people, or playing as normal and getting the default (though not "true") ending


If you get all the endings (and save after/load from the opening scene), it should be about half an hour of gameplay. So it's a rather short game.

Hey, Dad, why do you always get the bigger chair?
 

Ooh, look, you start the game at LV 99!.... Good luck keeping it that way.
 

A reverse-boss battle, where you're the boss! ...Which means you get the crap beaten out of you.
 

Ouch, that's gotta hurt.
 

Hmm... those blue glowing gate things look familiar... now, where did I see them again?
 


 
I'm hoping to get a review if you've got the time c: Love it or hate it, 0.5 star or 3 star, I'd just like some feedback on this game xD Haven't got much, so far, on the game page, so I'm posting it here.
Enjoy this bloodless murder sim!

Made account just for this.


Game is cool and funny, can't find the "play normally ending".


My favorite ending is the cheating and the dieing ones.


zubb power.

@zubb That makes me so happy to hear that xD The playing as normal ending is basically

to kill everyone in town. The strategically killing people ending is to kill everyone except for the banker.


It changes the story a little bit, depending on if there are townspeople alive or not.

Are we allowed to post about non-RPG Maker games?
I should realize that error was produced by a outdated version of MZ so that's why it pop up like that
