[h3]Depressing and also Uplifting[/h3] A monologue, your inner voice, your inner self-critic, is plotting to kill you. [h3]There will be no Blood[/h3] Over and over your inner voice just wants you to give up. Who doesn't want to give up at times. times like when you have to fix that dripping toilet, but you have not got the skills or the tools. Your inner critic will tell you you are useless and you are unprepared. Just quietly die, and don't make a mess, there must be no blood. Go quietly. [h3]Lo-Graphics[/h3] A very simple text based lo-rez almost static storyboard-like graphics game, that works well and get's it's idea across. I was fascinated by this short free game, it's very very basic, very. But it is well delivered and I like the choice I made.

Short, unsettling, and hard to fully interpret. It builds tension quickly and ends in a way that leaves more questions than answers.

First sentence has a typo and it sets the tone of the game almost immediately. It tries to be deep and thoughtful but comes of as cringe and edgy instead.

Short, depressing, but ultimately ends on a positive note. The experience is dulled by the AI/TTS voice over, which makes it feel a bit tacky. Next time, don't include voices, or hire a human!

Games like Undertale that remember what you didPC

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.

Games like Dying Light, where nightfall changes the rules

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

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.
