Play G.O.D - Mezameyo to Yobu Koe ga Kikoe Online

G.O.D. is one of those weird, ambitious SNES RPGs that never made it outside Japan—which is a shame, because it’s got this eerie, slow-burn sci-fi story that sticks with you. You start as a kid named Gen who stumbles into a cave, sees something he shouldn’t, and then—bam—wakes up a decade later to a world already conquered by aliens. No memory, no explanation, just a ruined Earth and a resistance movement that treats him like some kind of chosen one.

The combat’s turn-based but with this cool over-the-shoulder camera angle, like Phantasy Star IV. Your party unlocks these psychic "chakra" abilities that level up separately from your stats, so there’s this constant push-pull between grinding for skills and actually progressing the story. And the locations? Half the time you’re sneaking through dystopian cities, the other half you’re in these surreal alien zones that feel ripped from an ‘80s anime.

It’s janky in places (translation patches help), but there’s something haunting about how it handles memory and loss. You’ll be digging through wrecked versions of places Gen vaguely remembers, fighting aliens who might’ve been human once. Not your typical save-the-world RPG.
