Dive Into the Cozy World of Artis Impact
After four years of crafting every detail by hand, Malaysian solo developer Mas is ready to share Artis Impact, a post-apocalyptic RPG that feels more like a warm memory than the end of the world. Launching August 7, 2025, on PC via Steam, this retro-inspired, turn-based adventure blends heartfelt storytelling with gentle humor and hand-drawn pixel art that calls back to the golden days of classic RPGs.
In the game, you play as Akane, a human survivor who wanders through vibrant ruins and quiet cities now inhabited by quirky AIs and oddball survivors. With her snarky robot sidekick, Bot at her side, she explores a world where danger and delight exist together. In this place, strange enemies prowl, hidden stories lie in wait, and a good potato croquette is always within reach.
The developer built every map, alleyway, and ramen shop in Artis Impact from scratch using RPG Maker MV. It gives the game a handmade charm that’s very rare to find these days. Its turn-based combat stays fast and simple, designed to feel fun without turning into a chore.
But what sets Artis Impact apart is its gentle rhythm. Between battles and exploration, you can decorate your home, take part-time jobs, cook, and relax in a bath. Or simply take a quiet moment for yourself to breathe and chill. It’s a game that doesn’t rush you and invites you to linger.
Whether you grew up on pixel RPGs or are discovering them for the first time, Artis Impact offers something rare: a soft, slow-burning adventure filled with laughter, heart, and just the right amount of weirdness. Wishlist it on Steam today and try the free demo to start your journey ahead of the August 7 launch.
