About this game
Yomp for Zhi is a difficult turn-based RPG about a journey across Holtoss (a region riddled with crime and dangerous creatures). The unlikely heroes have a limited amount of days to rescue people who are going to be killed (including the titular Zhi).
No backtracking.
No getting lost.
0 HP means a character is dead for good.
Fast paced with no long animations.
Brutal long lasting injuries/ailments.
41 different characters to hire along the way (and 2 secret non-canon ones).
150+ enemy types!
6 unlockable difficulties and 2 unlockable bonus modes.
Most enemies can become temporary allies (referred to as Homies).
Dozens of enemy factions so enemies can often be seen attacking each other.
Weather conditions (including fog that can obscure the identities of enemies)
Under certain circumstances, enemies can return for revenge if they aren't killed.
The overworld often has an overwhelming amount of choice (hunting, shopping, selling, stealing, gambling, combining items, working, panhandling, fishing, etc.)
Things to note:
A mouse is highly recommended over using a laptop touchpad.
No controller support.
A successful run usually takes around 1-4 hours. There's a "Save & Quit" feature so you can resume a run later, but loading it will discard the saved run.

Patch NotesOfficial
Version 1.19
Pressing on through water now has its own icon. Fixed a glitch involving saving and quitting. Fixed some minor mistakes with the Game Over screen. Fixed an issue involving loading save-data. Removed a rare event that was too confusing and looked like a glitch. Fixed multiple mistakes involving Wagon Tools. Sangata is now affected by the HomieATK toggle (the toggle to prevent Homies, Haulhogs, and purchased Monstrens from attacking). Pressing on and ending up in the rare ruins zone-type now has a chance of initiating a battle. The last two difficulties were adjusted to be a bit less unfair. They're still ridiculous. The two secret hires now have different conditions for showing up. The Weight of Sand and Glass Shards has been reduced. The Copper value of Zowa Boxes has been reduced. The Copper value of Flash Bombs and Acid Bombs have been increased a bit. Mangdrupes now have a chance to apply Happy, they provide 1 more SP, and their Copper value has been increased a tiny bit. The game's default renderer is now OpenGL3.Read full article on Community Announcements (YamiToast)Patch NotesOfficial
Version 1.18
I made some changes that should actually fix the locale issue stated in V1.17. I didn't know until months later that the previous 'fix' didn't actually work.Read full article on Community Announcements (YamiToast)Patch NotesOfficial
V1.16 Update
Now there's a "Save & Quit" option when using an Inn. Loading a saved yomp or starting a new yomp, will discard the saved yomp. The game now has a custom cursor. The game now has a custom loading splash image. The Sling weapon's description was reworded to be more clear that it requires rocks to be used. Some text sizes were altered.Read full article on Community Announcements (YamiToast)
