This RPG About Growing Up Hit Me Hard

This RPG about growing up hit us harder than we expected. In this Consume Me game review, Samson shares his thoughts on the life sim RPG that blends gameplay, storytelling, and cultural representation in a powerful way.

Consume Me explores themes of self-image, relationships, and choices that shape a character’s life. The game features comic-inspired art, mini-games that mirror real challenges, and multiple endings based on decisions. It also carries the personal touch of the developer’s own experiences, which makes the story even more meaningful.

In this video, we cover:

What makes Consume Me stand out among indie RPGs
How the soundtrack and art style shape the experience
The emotional impact and cultural relevance of the story
Our take on whether it’s worth playing

If you enjoy indie games, life sims, or story-driven RPGs, this review is for you.
