Build your garage
Your cars are your party. Tune horsepower, torque and grip, scavenge parts from the junkyard, and work your way up from a starter hatchback.
Closed alpha · Now on itch.io
A retro town-exploring racing RPG.
Races are your battles, cars are your party, and horsepower is your attack stat. Walk the streets of Aurora Hills, build up your garage, and climb the street racing scene.
The game
An RPG where the dungeon is the street.
OctaneRPG started as a Discord bot. It's now growing into a full pixel-art game you can walk around in, with a town full of places to go and people to meet.
Explore Aurora Hills
Take a job, visit the market and the shrine, and talk to the locals. Every system lives somewhere in town, not in a menu.
Race your way
Launch at the Zeroyon drag strip, where every part you bolt on shows up on your timeslip. Crews, car meets and leaderboards are there when you want company, never required.
Where things stand
The closed alpha is live.
OctaneRPG is in closed alpha on itch.io (Windows). To play, join the Discord, press Become an Alpha Tester in the welcome message, and grab the download link and password from the alpha channel.
It's early. Most of the art is prototype art while we commission the real thing, and progress may be wiped during alpha. We always announce wipes in the Discord first.
The OctaneRPG Discord bot is now read-only. Gameplay has moved to the new game. Link your Discord account in-game to view your progress from Discord.
