What is Part Time Hero?

Part Time Hero is a hybrid Life-Sim/2.5D Action game inspired by classics such as Punch Club, ActRaiser, Rogue Legacy 2, and Yakuza: Like A Dragon. 

It's the year 2000 and just as predicted, Y2K (almost) wiped out civilization. Everyone expected the computers to crash... instead the city has been overrun by monsters, magic, and various sci-fi nonsense of unknown origin!

As a youngster, you grew up longing for adventure and dreaming of being a hero on an epic journey to save the day. Now as high school senior about to step into adulthood, you suddenly you have your chance... unfortunately being a hero doesn't exactly pay the bills :-(

Spend your days traversing the city working fun side jobs to earn cash for rent, food, bus fare, armor, weapons, wild gadgets, crazy abilities, quests, location upgrades, and more! Use what you've earned to aid your journey as a hero, helping to save the city and discover the mystery behind the untold dangers unleashed on Y2K


Project Status

Development is currently in very early Alpha stages therefore I'm focusing on core systems, functionality, and gameplay mechanics. I will be posting change logs and updates in the Itch.io Community as well as content on my Youtube Channel regularly. My Production Roadmap is also public if you want to follow along step by step!

I plan on being very open about the design, development, and production process as I work on this solo project in my spare time.  Please follow for updates if you're into that sort of thing, I'd love to hear your feedback

Thank you for showing interest in my project! I'm doing my very best to make Part Time Hero the most magnificent game the universe has ever witnessed
