Second Chances Launches to Steam on June 25

The emotionally charged turn-based RPG Second Chances is launching on Steam this June 25. It's being developed by Deadpixel and to be published by indie.io.

Second Chances is the debut game from solo developer Deadpixel. It's inspired from psychological storytelling and tactical gameplay. For Deadpixel, this is a game that refuses to compromise. The focus is not only player choice but also emotional depth and mechanically rich combat. In a statement, Deadpixel shared that the game is "a love letter" especially for those who love RPGs that challenge both the mind and the heart.

A Battle for the Soul

The game tells the story of once-acclaimed novelist Paul Kimbel. After experiencing a fatal crash, he awakens in Limbo, which is a nightmarish purgatory built from fragments of his own imagination. To escape, he needs to venture through the Void, which is a dark and shifting landscape that's filled with twisted echoes of his books and people from his shattered life.

The game has no checkpoints and no second tries. There's only the choices players make and the consequences that follow. In Second Chances, each battle has been designed to be a strategic puzzle rather than a repetitive grind, challenging players with unique, high-stakes combat encounters.

Strategic & High-Stakes Combat

Each fight in the game is a testament to the art of strategy. The thing is, brute force and mindless repetition won't be enough. Players need to analyze enemy patterns, harness class synergies, and position their team with precision.

Each encounter offers a fresh tactical challenge and makes sure that no two battles feel the same. The emphasis on smart and responsive combat ensures that each decision made has a profound impact on the outcome of the fight. This raises the stakes and deepens the sense of immersion.

System Requirements

For the game, the minimum system requirements for the PC are:
