Lead a party of up to six adventurers in this fantasy CRPG with a reality television twist! Build your party alongside wacky companions, vanquish enemies in tactical combat, and even outlast fellow houseguests in the region's famous Bachelorette Tournament!
Yet Another Reality Show features exploration of hand-crafted maps connected through an overarching overworld. While you clear out a map's fog-of-war, you will encounter a cast of companion characters to accompany your journey, acquire items and skills to kit out your party, engage in deep and reactive dialogue trees with NPCs, and complete quests that have world-altering consequences. The choices are yours!
The world's newest discovery is magicvision, a way to not only record events, but also broadcast them far and wide! Needless to say, magicvision has taken the world by storm as a form of wondrous entertainment.
Events such as the game's Bachelorette Tournament offer an opportunity to put your roleplaying to the test as you forge and break alliances, manage social relationships, and maybe even fight your fellow houseguests, all to claim the spotlight. Will you use magicvision to prop yourself up as the next heroic reality star, or are there more capabilities for this technology yet to be discovered?
Engage in grid-based combat integrated on the same maps that you explore! Position your party in ambush positions prior to combat, or even bumrush neutral NPCs in broad daylight if you're unafraid of the consequences.
Combat takes place in individual turns determined by all units' initiative, with each turn using an Action Point (AP) system to determine available combat actions. Drink a potion quickly, then decide whether you want to blast a horde of enemies with an area-of-effect Fireball, or accurately snipe a meddlesome backliner with an Aimed Shot -> every combat offers a chance to demonstrate your tactical acumen!
Choose how you want to build your party! Play as a diplomatic scholar with an arsenal of arcane and divine spells, as an intimidating brute bulldozing dialogue and combat alike with their two-handed maul, or even as a stealthy dual-wielding rogue out to assassinate the competition. Use up to five other companions to diversify your team, or maybe just run a hunting party of all archers.
As in most RPGs, you acquire experience and level up while playing through the game. Leveling up allows your characters to improve their Attributes, general physical and mental prowess applicable in a variety of situations. In addition, you and your party can also specialize with separated Combat Skill and Utility Skill points, allowing you to roleplay as a persuasive, charismatic knight without sacrificing polearm expertise in combat, if you so desire!

DEVELOPER NOTE:
"Yet Another Reality Show is a solo-developer project inspired by both the classic isometric turn-based RPGs as well as some of my favorite (or groan-inducing) reality television shows. This is my first commercial release, so I welcome any constructive feedback you can give! Please enjoy the game!"
