The Lonesome Guild Review - A Cozy RPG with Wasted Potential

The Lonesome Guild is the newest indie RPG from Tiny Bull Studios, putting players in the shoes of a group of friends trying to defeat the mysterious evil known as Loneliness. With a compelling premise, top-down combat, and a relationship system, this game has the elements of a great RPG, but does it execute them well?

In this review, we tackle the game's wasted potential. We critique the story for taking a childish and cliché route, focusing too heavily on repetitive dialogue about the power of friendship rather than exploring its dark premise in a mature way. The 12-hour narrative feels soulless and uninspiring.

We explore the combat, which is simple, easy to understand, and fits the "cozy game" subgenre, but lacks complexity and meaningful differences between characters, severely limiting replay value. We also highlight the simplistic, half-baked relationship system that feels like a tacked-on mechanic with no real player choice or weight.

Ultimately, The Lonesome Guild is an easy, relaxing game that might appeal to a very specific niche, but its undercooked systems and weak execution mean it won't stand out in 2025's crowded indie space.
