Zeboyd Games has announced This Way Madness Lies, a turn-based Magical Girls RPG about saving the worlds of Shakespeare from the forces of Nightmare. It will launch for PC via Steam on November 10 for $9.99.
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!

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 four to five hours, depending on difficulty & playstyle, and we hope that you will enjoy every minute!
