A downloadable game for Windows

Pokemon Sisyphus Unchained
TheGamer listed Sisyphus Unchained in their "best fan-made pokemon games"-article:  "The story will take some dark turns as you try to stay true, much like a Cubone does after choosing to wear its mother's skull." - https://www.thegamer.com/pokemon-best-fan-made-games/.

I made a Pokemon game with RPG Maker XP and Pokemon Essentials. It is pretty dark, but hopefully fun.  You will often have multiple dialogue options, and your actions have consequences. Sisyphus Unchained tries to break free from the ordinary Pokemon experience, while keeping the framework of gyms, rivals and elite four - but often with a dark twist. Sometimes it might not feel fair, but that is the point. The main story is rooted in the philosophy of Albert Camus.

The game contains six gyms and elite four. Plus some "side quests", including a murder mystery.

I believe it does not have any game breaking bugs - but be sure to save once in a while. A friend was able to play through it. If you find any bugs, please leave a comment.

Please enjoy!
