Finally, The RPG is on Steam – "Minimalistic Skyrim" where you shove bread into open wounds to heal, and the dragon villain "constantly glitches"

The RPG 3D stick figures sit in a wagon.

There are a lot of RPGs on Steam at this point – I can name at least three right now – but for too damn long, Valve's Half-Life patch tool turned PC gaming emporium has lacked The RPG, the role-playing game of all time. On August 7, 2025, Developer Dionysus Acroreites finally resolved this problem. The RPG is now available, and it actually looks like more than just a cheap meme game.

That said, The RPG – somehow that title wasn't taken until now – definitely strikes me as a meme game. It's billed as "Minimalistic Skyrim + West of Loathing + Supraland." If you're not familiar, those games are, respectively, Todd Howard's retirement plan, a comedy stick figure Western RPG, and a shockingly good 3D Metroidvania with Zelda vibes.
