About this game

What this game is, in the developer's words

The Tainted is a mature comedy, turn based, 2D RPG. You explore the land of Xanthia in an attempt to solve the mystery of the Taint and learn how to stop it.

You play as Jezebel, a mysterious girl who awakens in the woods, with little memory of her past. Unlike most of the humans of this world, she can use magic and communicate with intelligent creatures. In trying to live up to her motto of always doing what's necessary, she often finds herself in uncomfortable situations.

Along the way to exploring the land of Xanthia, you'll gain allies to help you face the many challenges that await. Do you have what it takes to stop the Taint?

Features:

Old school, 2D style RPG

Turn-based combat

Partial spell customization 

Skills level up as you use them

Mature/immature humor

Mini-games

The Tainted was created using the RPG Maker MV engine and makes use of a lot of content created by the RPG Maker community. It attempts to tell a unique and funny story, as well as show off some of the talent found in this often overlooked community. Much of the humor is of a mature nature and is not intended for younger viewers. So, if you enjoy classic RPGs with turn-based combat and are also an adult who finds inappropriate comments to be funny....you might also enjoy The Tainted.
