A downloadable game

Hey everyone, I’m Usajyx, first-time game maker, and professional overthinker. 👋

I’m currently working on my first game called SIGMA TAU

You play as Matheus and Jurya, a couple seriously thinking about calling it quits. But just before things end, a mysterious voice desperately calls for help, pulling them into a weird, glitchy digital world. Because obviously, interdimensional couples counseling is the way to go!

Yeah, it's inspired by my own complicated (but very real) experiences in relationships. (Don’t worry—my story got a happy ending, eventually. But man, what a ride!) I figured turning it into a JRPG would be cheaper than actual therapy (it's definitely not 😅 )
Anyway, wanna talk gameplay? Here we go:

🎮 What makes SIGMA TAU different? I’m experimenting with:

🧠 Emotional choices that affect combat flow, not just the ending.

🔁 Strategic Pre/Post-battle branching options.

❤️ A relationship system that changes how the characters talk and fight.

⚔️ A dynamic, fast-paced turn-based combat system, allowing multiple skills to chain together in a single turn.

🔷 A layered progression system inside and outside each run through diverse "Memory Classes" and "Sub-Memory Classes" (temporary names, open to suggestions!).

⏳ A system where failing to complete a "run" within a certain number of attempts (varies with difficulty, and optionally disableable—though I wouldn't recommend it!) changes the narrative trajectory.

📈 A "run" win condition that’s not just “beat the boss” (Coming soon!)

✨ And much more coming soon!

I'm building this alone—no studio, no budget, just coffee, doubt, and questionable decisions.

Thanks for being here. 🙏

(PS: I promise no actual exes were digitized during production.)



“Matheus... You can’t just keep following a voice!”

“Isn’t that what we’ve always done?

Hi.
I’m just a guy making his first game.
It’s called SIGMA TAU, and right now there’s nothing here but a logo.
I don’t have a team. I don’t have a publisher.
I just have this idea in my head that won’t let me go.

I’ll share more soon.
If you're reading this... thanks. Really.
