Join Jeff, a lovable "little" green man, on his intergalactic escapade as he crash-lands one summer night in the woods near the sleepy town of Bobilly. With the help of his new friend Andy, they embark on a thrilling race against time to repair Jeff's spaceship before the U.S. Army discovers it.

As they explore the world together, Jeff and Andy stumble upon various wacky situations that require creative problem-solving skills. From Slushee machines to Pacman ray guns, they'll need all their ingenuity to stay one step ahead of the authorities.

Get ready to blast off on this unforgettable journey with Jeff and Andy as your guides!

Gameplay and Inspiration:

The game is a top-down rpg with a pixilated artstyle inspired by the likes of classic games such as Earthbound and Final Fantasy. But, rather than having turn-based battles, the main gameplay of Visited uses a series of minigames which step outside the bounds of your typical rpg. The player is given the opportunity to experience additional genres of retro video games, with inspiration taken from Pacman, Contra, Megaman, and Doom just to name a few.
