The Story
EarthBound is a JRPG set in a suburb of America, where enemies include Abstract Art, New Age Retro Hippies, and a pile of Pencil Erasers. Shigesato Itoi's masterpiece was a commercial failure on release — written off by a marketing campaign that said 'This game stinks'. Two decades later it became the formative influence on an entire generation of indie developers. Undertale, Omori, and Mother 4 all exist because EarthBound existed first.
