Off (stylized as OFF) is a
French-language role-playing video game released in 2008 by the Belgian team Unproductive Fun
Time, consisting of
Martin Georis ("Mortis
Ghost") and Alias Conrad Coldwood. It has garnered a sizable following for its story, characters and atmosphere, particularly after its officially sanctioned
fan translation into English.
It is about an enigmatic humanoid entity known as the Batter, who is described as being on a "sacred mission" to "purify" the world of Off. The Batter travels through four bizarre Zones in the world, revealing more about the world as the game goes on.
Plot: The
player assumes control of the Batter, a
man in a
baseball uniform on a "sacred mission" to "purify the world". After receiving guidance from a talking cat called the Judge, the Batter begins to make his way through four Zones, killing malevolent
ghost-like creatures called "spectres" and the Guardian of each Zone in order to "purify" the Zone. As the Batter progresses in his quest, it is ultimately revealed that the Zones are tied to the Guardians' life force and that killing the Guardians will annihilate all life in the Zones; this outcome is the Batter's
true objective. The Batter eventually reaches an area called the Room and faces the Queen, ruler of all the Zones. She admonishes him for the destruction he has caused and attacks him, but is defeated.
