The indie cult classic RPG OFF will make its long-awaited arrival on Steam and Nintendo Switch in 2025, featuring an enhanced version along with a physical edition. Since its original release in 2008 from Belgian studio Unproductive Fun Time, OFF has gained notoriety for its bizarre and unsettling atmosphere, yet it has never been available on major gaming platforms. The narrative follows a mysterious protagonist called the Batter, guided by a talking cat named the Judge, as he navigates through surreal zones battling ghostly beings known as Spectres. The game’s thought-provoking themes and multiple endings challenge players' moral choices, contributing to its enduring appeal and influence in gaming, particularly on modern titles like Undertale.

OFF will be released on Steam and Nintendo Switch in 2025, offering both digital and physical editions.

OFF, created in RPG Maker, has been a unique part of indie gaming culture despite its unofficial translations. The game stands out for merging storytelling with psychological themes, capturing players' imaginations and making it a noteworthy influence on later RPGs, highlighting its lasting impact in the gaming community.
