About This Game

Let us begin our tale, in the quiet city of Verona, Italy. A town for lovers... and giant, mutant flower attacks.

As the leader of the Stratford-Upon-Avon High Drama Society, Imogen is no ordinary girl! Sure, she goes to school every day and helps produce plays for the community, but beyond that, she's a magical girl! With her powers, she can teleport to alternate dimensions based on Shakespeare plays, fight back the forces of Nightmare, and still get back in time for dinner!

Join Imogen, Paulina, Viola, Rosalind, Miranda, Beatrice, and Kate on an epic adventure throughout the Shakespearean metaverse in this comedy JRPG!

• Unique, turn-based combat!
• Hang out with your friends!
• Put on plays!
• Shakespearean dialogue too difficult to parse? No problem with our unique Ye Olde English to New English translator! 110% accurate!
• Multi-character unite abilities!
• Teaches you while you learn!
• Get a pet!
• Pacing that doesn't waste your time!
• Fun for the whole family!

We believe that world needs more bite-size turn-based JRPGs - short, self-contained games that you can enjoy over a weekend or a few play sessions when you want a change of pace from big epics. Something that's all killer, no filler. We estimate that a single playthrough of This Way Madness Lies will take around 5-10 hours, depending on difficulty & playstyle, and we hope that you will enjoy every minute!

Forsooth, 'tis a chronicle most strange, wherein maidens of mystic vocation, clad in raiments of starry glamour, do sally forth to safeguard the myriad realms wherein Master Shakespeare’s own quill hath woven breath and wit, lest foul legions of infernal brood usurp the stage entire. Though the tale be steeped in folly most extravagant, yet 'tis devised with cunning craft, bearing a wit as sharp as Puck’s own tongue. And lo, the melody of its spheres and the depth of its jousting strategems exceedeth far the modest coffer whence this miracle sprang, outshining expectation mine. Seriously though, it's good. It's hard to talk about it because it's not a novel releationary take on the genre. Zeboyd's combat system is unique take on JRPG formula, but this is the third game with the s...

I quite liked all of Zeboyd's other games, but this one wasn't for me. Too much episodic (read: inconsequential) story with too little gameplay, And compared to other Zeboyd games, the combat felt unimaginative and perfunctory.
