this is so much fun! for some reason, i sometimes think of bioshock. i guess the sound design is a bit similar? and the 1950's imagery, of course. one of the very few 3d games that doesn't give me motion sickness 🥲💜
so yesterday i started right at the beginning -- with "birth" -- and played it in one go. such a beautiful, wholesome, weird, morbid and cute hidden object/puzzle game 🥰
(ps: this game was made by 1 (!) person 😱 (madison karrh))
wish there would be more solarpunk games, book, comics, tv series, media in general. maybe one of our next games (@owlycrow) should be in this genre @nursey 👀
looks like most of those games were developed in the ps2/gamecube era. so vampires have been out of fashion for 20 years. now that it's been 2 decades, there's a possibility of a revival, i'd say 👀
i've also been waiting for new content revolving around the paranormal/supernatural 👽 so far i've only encountered the y2k fashion revival, but not much more in terms of entertainment 🥲
i think ultimately i only have 2 favorite video game genres, and they are:
- visual novels - (isometric or 2d) turn-based rpgs
how did i figure that out? well, i just thought, with these two, i can play them ~always~ and they don't really cost me energy. (unless they are darkest dungeon, but i could still play that even if i was completely exhausted)
btw i'm playing a VN called "crimson spires" atm. i totally don't know where it is going and i like it :3 (i secretly hope there's some vampirism involved lol)
