    I have yet to play a Zeboyd RPG I didn't enjoy. What a charming and unique adventure.

    This Way Madness Lies is a short and comedic turn-based RPG which has two sets of scripts that add an element of comedy to the otherwise mundane story and characters. Otherwise, the game does nothing special but also does nothing poorly and is fairly generic as far as turn-based RPGs go, though there is a major bug that can corrupt your save slots which the developer was never able, and didn't care, to fix. Overall,…
