Everyone is big on pocket monster fights in the world of Probably I forgot something. It’s a shame that you forgot your beasts at home, though.
You’re out for a walk when you realize that you don’t have your pocket monsters on you. That’s not a good thing, considering that everyone is really into monster battles these days, and they aren’t taking no for an answer. So, you’ll need to either produce a monster to fight for you, or else it’s you who’ll be getting hydro pumped and blasted with flames.
The only solution you have is to appeal to the various natures of the three trainers you stumble across on the way home. If you can just say the right things to these people, they’ll eventually leave you alone. The difficult part is that they’ll still be roasting you with fire attacks whenever you open your mouth, so you have to find the right thing to say before you’re cooked alive due to everyone’s favorite hobby.
Probably I forgot something is a short, silly browser game made for Ludum Dare 45 (where the theme was “Start with nothing”) that offers a handful of different endings depending on how you talk to everyone. Mind you, most of those endings will involve your smoldering body lying on the lush grass, but if you’re lucky, you just might make it home. And if you don’t, maybe don’t tell your buddies that you were clobbered by a fire-breathing body pillow.
Probably I forgot something is playable for free on itch.io.
