disclaimer: while i have beaten Pit People it was back in 2019 so my memory of the game is a little foggy and i have no interest in replaying the game anytime soon due to it being my least favorite, my apologies if the following summaries, fun facts etc. aren't as in depth as they are with The Behemoth's other games

What is Pit People about?
Hatty's hat ray at the end of Battleblock Theater hits and kills a space bear which causes another bear that was in love with him to get enraged causing them to wreck havoc upon the earth, eventally the bear takes Horatio's son so now Horatio and some other characters you meet along the way have to go on a journey to get him back
What is the game/gameplay like?
It is a 2D turn based strategy game where you move characters across a board to attack enemies and bosses, after every fight you get loot like money, weapons etc.
as you progress through the game you meet new characters that help you in battle with some being important to the story and having their own backstories with cutscenes to boot, once you beat the game there is actually a post game which i'm assuming just plays the same as the main game but without a lot of the story elements (i didn't play the post game sorry)
if you don't wanna play the main story there is an arena mode where you (i assume) fight against other players and a mode called "The Pit" (dont remember what that does)
