Riot in New Batavia [Beat 'Em Up, Political]

Punk? Faction warfare? Conspiracy? Secret cult? All wrapped in dark comedy and slow-burn progression? "What's wrong with your ears, you Kratonate spy?" That's the first thing Rads hears after crawling through a hidden tunnel beneath a train station. 24 hours earlier, he was just another unemployed graduate chasing the Batavia Dream. Then he lost his apartment. Slept under a bridge. Couldn't afford breakfast. Now he's smuggling secrets for Batavia's most wanted revolutionaries. In Batavia, zines are contraband. Rock concerts carry encrypted messages. Cassette tapes hide political manifestos. Every faction is fighting a war nobody admits exists. Rads doesn't want to change the world. He just wants to survive. Batavia has other plans. RIOT IN NEW BATAVIA is a story-first LitRPG, rich in graphics. No chosen one. No overpowered hero. Every victory is earned. Every choice has consequences. If you enjoy Disco Elysium, Final Fantasy VII, Yakuza, then... Welcome to Batavia. Check out the GLOSSARY for a glympse!

My Anomaly System

[SYSTEM NOTIFICATION] [Power-up applied successfully.] [Current HP: 100/100 (+10)] [CRITICAL ERROR: Source of Power-up Unverified.] [Scanning recipient database...] [Scan failed.] [ALERT: The System cannot log this transaction. Your existence does not match any known player template. The architecture is beginning to shift.] Xyrethian expected a normal System. Instead, it couldn't even identify him. Every time the interface tries to classify his existence, it fails. And every time it fails, something inside the architecture changes. Doors unlock that shouldn't. Events rewrite themselves. Announcements glitch. Entire levels begin behaving differently. Now, the System is hunting the anomaly it accidentally created. But while the world tries to delete him, Xyrethian discovers something impossible. Someone has been building these worlds from behind the scenes all along. If the System can create the games, why can't he?
