The Golden Girls Take Manhattan DX is an upcoming free Persona-style RPG developed by Joey Pagano and Chris Lindgren. In this game, players take control of the iconic characters from The Golden Girls television show and run through the streets of Miami, battling off hordes of clowns and rolling through dungeons.
The Gameplay
The Golden Girls Take Manhattan DX is a turn-based JRPG that promises to be fast-paced and action-packed. The game features a battle system and dialogue system similar to Persona 5, a calendar system, and a dungeon-crawling gameplay loop. However, instead of the world of Persona 5, players will experience the world of The Golden Girls with all its humor and quirky characters.
The Development
The Golden Girls Take Manhattan DX has been in development for quite some time, with work-in-progress clips on YouTube dating back five years.

Pagano and Lindgren have worked tirelessly to create a high-quality and over-the-top ironic recreation of the core systems of their favorite game series.
Pagano wrote on his website, “This project is probably my biggest joke yet. But I think it makes sense that my personal project would be a really high-quality and over-the-top ironic recreation of the core systems of my favorite game series, Persona”.
