Not Just This

Overview Not Just This

Not Just This is a strange and creepy experimental title made with RPG Maker MZ. It mixes dark satire with psychological horror. The game puts players in a weird courtroom-like setting where logic often gives way to nonsense. It makes players question what they're seeing and whether they should take it seriously at all by mixing grotesque images, body horror, and strange humor.

The game doesn't try to appeal to a wide audience; instead, it embraces its strangeness. It openly questions its own existence, which makes for a meta experience that is both uncomfortable and strangely interesting. Even though it's called satire, some of the situations seem to be based on real life, which adds a subtle layer of unease to the dark comedy.

Game Mechanics

Core Gameplay

Not Just This is about questioning and judging. You play as a customizable judge who has to question strange and often scary characters. You have to figure out what people are saying, how they act, and the strange clues in each case before you can make a choice.

The game doesn't always follow the rules of logic, so the results can seem random. This unpredictability is part of the fun, and it encourages players to accept the strange instead of sticking to normal rules.

Controls

Controls are simple and typical of games made with RPG Maker:

• Movement: Arrow keys or WASD
• Interaction: Enter / Space
• Menu navigation: Keyboard inputs

The straightforward controls allow players to focus more on the narrative and surreal events unfolding around them.

Speed Mechanic

There is no traditional speed-based system, but pacing plays a subtle role. Dialogue timing, decision-making, and how quickly you process bizarre information can influence how smoothly each case unfolds. The game encourages careful observation rather than fast reactions.

Challenges and Achievements

It's hard to figure out the game's strange logic and disturbing clues on purpose. Players might have trouble with:

• Figuring out strange conversations
• Making choices that aren't clear-cut morally
• Watching disturbing visual content for a long time

Achievements, if they are there, usually come from finishing cases, finding strange outcomes, or interacting with hidden things.
