In the wonderful space of RPGs, players wander around fighting monsters, gathering treasure and talking to mysterious strangers. Now, wait! What if somebody wants to skip that first part to get to treasure and conversation hunting? Fear not, for that experience can be found in… the AMAZING TREASURE VALLEY.
AMAZING TREASURE VALLEY is a game being made by Splendidland, or Samanthuel. She is responsible for Megaman Sprite Comic and its very official game, Apple Quest Monsters DX, as well as several memes that you may have seen around the internet, like “don’t talk to me or my son ever again” and “Mickey’s Dick Smasher.” While she’s currently making a different game called Tender Caves of Death, this seems to be a smaller project put at the forefront.
“Sometimes, we find our life too busy and want to get away. A little black cat named Your Friend bridges the gap between our world and somewhere else. To exist somewhere else, you need to have a puppet body, and through this puppet’s eyes, you can explore AMAZING TREASURE VALLEY,” . You will experience the game through an avatar; however, instead of a standard character creator, you’ll be asked a bunch of questions like a Pokemon Mystery Dungeon personality test to form your new body. With the different heads, faces, bodies, and color palettes, there are about 7,000 potential combinations.
Hopping into the world, you’re ushered into an easygoing experience, where you can just kinda walk around and talk to people. It’s one big RPG slice-of-life where the most hostile thing you can find is somebody illegally eating electricity. It carries an Animal Crossing kinda vibe in that it’s a world where you can just have a relaxed time. It seems to be a game where you can talk to wacky people, see new things, and take a break from your real life troubles.

There is currently no set release date for AMAZING TREASURE VALLEY. A tweet in February aimed at having it out by the end of March, but the developer seems to prefer taking her time, which in an overworked industry is an admirable attitude to have. It will likely come to Splendidland’s itch.io, where the rest of her work is shown.
