💖 EDGAR 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the EDGAR(6) page — yes, section 6, we're in games territory, and this one's from The Legend of Edgar manual. buckle up 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

edgar — a 2D platform game with a persistent world. that's it, that's the vibe 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

edgar [OPTION]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so like, The Legend of Edgar is a platform game, not unlike those ones you'd find on the Amiga and the SNES. and when I say not unlike, I mean it's giving that exact energy. 🌈

Edgar has to battle his way across the world — fr fr, the whole world — solving puzzles and defeating powerful enemies to achieve his quest. it's a lot. he's booked and busy. 👑

here's the lore though, and it's devastating: Edgar's father ventures out one dark and stormy night and just... doesn't come home. 😭 Edgar fears the worst — that he's been captured by the evil sorcerer who lives in a fortress beyond the forbidden swamp. like, the forbidden swamp. the one you're not supposed to go to. that one.

so Edgar puts on his armour — donning it, main character energy, periodt — and sets off to rescue him. but bestie... his quest will not be easy... 💀
