Errata



I don't think I've walked this stretch of road before is a mashup of homespun 3D design, pulsating electronic sounds, and my desire to tell humanizing, hopeful stories about struggling to make sense of pain. It was built haltingly over about a year and a half using some tools I know well & others I barely understand.

I was inspired throughout by the small but resilient community of people using Gamemaker: Studio for 3D development. Like any commercial framework, GM:S has its caveats, but I appreciate its primordial, open-ended toolset, and I hope this game can be a small but interesting contribution to the scene.

More than anything, I hope it weirds you out for a little while, and maybe offers a bit of respite from grimly uncertain times.

i keep going back on forth over whether i wish this game put in more empty space on the road between objects. on one hand there wouldn't be a lot to see in between, since the prose is so short and vague (yet so specific that i'm certain it's pulled from hexcavator's life) that there's not much left to wonder about while you wander. on the other hand, if there *were* other scenery, interactive or otherwise, on this road in between the story beats, it would better replicate my own experiences taking hours-long walks at night while re/living whatever my brain wants to mull over. i can't take those walks anymore because of very severe back pain, and i miss them a lot. i'll never forget the walk where i looked behind me and there was an opossum following me. i continued walking and looked back about 20 seconds later, to find two more opossums following me. then later, 3 more. a whole family of opossums followed me for about 3 blocks until i finally stopped and turned all the way around, and all of them flashed those horrible teeth of theirs and froze until i left. edit: ive had this game for a while but never launched it until yesterday. i feel extremely called out by the "backlog cl…

This was a very sentient game. It reminded me that everyone is chasing something.

What an odd little beast. It's nothing special but it was entertaining enough for the price; i'd recommend it to anyone looking for a short narrative experience. Works great on steam deck.

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.

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.
