Overdue Debt

Editorial Don't bother

Overdue Debt shows genuine potential as an adult RPG with a female protagonist facing financial hardship, but it is severely hampered by numerous game-breaking bugs that undermine the experience. Players consistently report critical issues: NPCs freezing the game upon interaction, quest sequences that lock up mid-progression and become uncompletable, save file corruption, and animation rendering failures. The developer is actively engaged and responsive to bug reports, with patches being released on Patreon ahead of site updates, which suggests ongoing development. However, the current state—even accounting for recent fixes—remains unstable enough that multiple users explicitly warn new players to save frequently before NPC interactions. Beyond technical problems, feedback notes the game's aesthetic is somewhat sterile and derivative of another title (Modern Pink Elf RPG), though the developer acknowledges this as an intentional learning project with original assets. The core gameplay loop and premise are appreciated by those who can play without crashing, but the frequency and severity of bugs make this a frustrating experience for most.
