Mr. Saitou

Released: 3/23/2023

Mr. Saitou is a short game about an average white-collar worker who struggles to find meaning in a life full of constant overtime and social isolation. After an accident lands him in the hospital, Mr. Saitou is spirited away to a strange fantasy world where an unexpected friend takes him on a life-changing adventure. FEATURES Heartwarming non-combat story with an emphasis on humor and building friendships. A short & sweet experience that can usually be completed in one sitting. Get to know a cast of strange creatures (both new and familiar), impress your boss, and explore a scuffed Edudungeon. Charming art and original soundtrack by Laura Shigihara, Toby Fox, and No Holds Bard. Meet the Sphinx of Basic Math Ride on a train. Synergize, Optimize, ROIs, and cherry pies. Lots of Golf Balls. Definitely Y2K Compliant. Definitely business.
