文字獄 is an old school adventure puzzle game where, instead of typing a text command, you assemble commands using cards representing nouns and verbs. While it does say there's no English support, there is an English translation and it works well enough that the game is playable. This really feels more like a browser/mobile app than a dedicated PC game. The simple drag and drop UI seems to have been designed for mobile phones. There's some clever ideas in the design of the puzzles and the game, but the lacklustre implementation makes it unsatisfying and unrecommendable to gamers. The game is completely free.

This is certainly a gesture that shows dedication to the gaming industry.

"文字獄" — это головоломка с глубокой логикой и креативным подходом. Игроку нужно переставлять символы, чтобы создать правильный ответ. Пазлы сложны, но увлекательны.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
