Use your outside voice, Richie Tozier!

Hello my little spirits, no Chucky Review this week :(. I wanted instead to do a review on a short fan game for Stephen Kings 2017 IT and chapter 2! If you are huge fan of IT in any form I can assure you that this game will probably destroy you, but in the best way? Because if you’re like me you’re still not over the clown movie and you probably never will be. Use your outside voice, Richie Tozier! is a 2D pixel art RPG game created by mapurl. They created a simple arrow and space bar game that has a mountain load of IT lore from the book, to the mini series, and the movie.

Now if you are an even bigger fan of Richie and Eddie and feel like your heart has been ripped out of your body, what 3 times now? Then this game is still for you! It’s basically a fix-fic but as a video game, which come on it doesn’t get better then that. With about an hour of gameplay you will get an incredible story with art and scenes that will make you a blubbering baby,

And just about anything you could have hoped for to remedy your broken heart. ⚠️WARNING⚠️ for those of you wondering if this is scary…well yeah duh. There are a few mild jumpscares but what else would you expect from the murder clown? I have played this game about 50 times already over the past couple of years and it never gets old. Also it’s FREE, which isn’t even the best part because I would have gladly sold my kidney for this. So please those of you who have not played this, it’s time. Also if you can donate to the creators!

A short introduction!

Hey there, I’m mapurl, a digital illustrator also pretty into watercolor, knitting and enamel pin design (although none of those are liable to show up in this particular zine). In case it were not obvious, I love superheroes, tokusatsu and justice! Also, very seriously would probably sell my soul for a second season of toku anime Samurai Flamenco.

What’s your favourite Rider / series?

Experience with the franchise / tokusatsu so far

I first watched OOOs as an intro to tokusatsu 6 or 7 years ago, and fell in love with its ability to maintain a surprisingly complex and emotional storyline with interesting characters while still, essentially, being about men in rubber bug suits punching monsters until they explode.

If you were a rider, what would your catchphrase be?
