Evaluation

False Myth released on February 19, 2021 as a complete, self-contained indie RPG. The store description presents the game as a finished story-driven experience with no mention of DLC, expansions, seasons, or post-launch content plans. There are no DLC listings associated with the game. The developer news feed (50 posts scanned) contains no posts specific to False Myth after launch — the single development_status post from April 1, 2022 is a publisher-level announcement for a new Kagura Games mobile title, not related to False Myth itself. The remaining news posts are all publisher announcements for entirely different games in the Kagura Games catalog. There is no post-launch update cadence, no announced future content, and no roadmap. This game launched as a complete package and has received no post-launch content additions.

About this game

Rouge, a skilled swordswoman, has come to visit the city of Lylan. But she's hardly even stepped foot inside when she's suddenly arrested by a band of knights, led by none other than Rita Lylan, the city's governor! One misunderstanding leads to another, and before long, Rouge finds herself defending Rita from a pair of assassins. The struggle ends when Rouge takes a jab from a weird syringe in Rita's place.

When Rouge next wakes, her gender's changed. Rita wastes no time falling in love with her savior, to which her aunt (and the true ruler of Lylan) reacts very favorably. Failed assassination attempts are often followed by another, and having someone like Rouge around to protect her niece might come in handy. That, and given his skill set, he might make a good husband for Rita.

Rouge is initially very much against this idea but soon finds himself agreeing to his new job as a bodyguard. And so begins Rouge's next adventure, both to protect Rita and to undercover the shadows that plague Lylan.

Play as Rouge, the new bodyguard of the city's governor! Join Rita in her newly formed Justice Guild, where you'll handle the citizens' troubles, gather information about mysterious happenings, meet colorful characters, and explore the multiple districts of Lylan.

After you're done in the city, take on board-game-style dungeons, wherein each of the tiles leads to different encounters or effects! Build your hand of cards, which you can then use to strategically overcome the enemy's moves, with the excellent sprite animation acting as the cherry on top!

To wind down, try numerous minigames like an intuitive fishing system, or take on side jobs to earn some extra cash, like serving food and drinks at a restaurant. Of course, you could always just spend time with your party members, shower them with gifts, and learn more about their circumstances.
