Something a little different
If you like RPGs (retro or modern), this isn't really the type to pass up. I've been a part of this game's community for about 8 years. I've seen the fans change and even the game change (yes, the dev still updates this game every now and again). But even if the fan base may not be as active as it once was, the game still holds up to this day as more than just an RPG. DMODs (Dink MODs) are still being released to this day. If you want to truly get into this game, I'd say there's plenty to do and discover only because of the sheer number of DMODs. So many player created adventures that add to the story of dink, that do something completely different, or straight up surpass the original game in terms of quality and size. If you don't like them, you can even create your own. There's many informative tutorials on the forums (some come as videos, some as document files and some even as DMODs) that will teach you about making your own dink adventure. It's quite a neat little entry point into game creation, if you've never done it. Many members have created amazing reverse engineered scripts for the game that do things we didn't think we're possible before. There's also an open source engine remake called "freedink". All of this to say, Dink Smallwood is an obscure little RPG that, despite it's age and popularity, still continues to expand. You can always give the main game a try (which is a very fun experience), but if you don't find it particularly interesting, I highly recommend at least looking through the in-game DMOD browser and checking out some player created adventures. So go and have fun beheading ducks!
