That may have been the true last remaining Gamestop on Earth.

I can see the cascading flow of conflicting emotions, boxed and separated by physical barriers, or just an emotional wall that was built. There is so, so much of it! You are great at conveying abstract terms and verbs through your use of shape and space, in such beautiful ways.

You cannot convince me I am the spearhead of my own adventure in your game if I can't manually label a pretty pond I found and call it "My Safe Pond" because enemies don't spawn in it.

Timely for me that you post this because I wanted to let you know that I hope it makes your week better knowing Uncle Fester has become an inside joke both between me and a boyfriend and my family.

Been keeping an eye since seeing it for the first time. The Ultima/Nethack combat/interaction system looks as innovative and genre-wrecking as the art direction, as it ought to be for a game that could only exist in the overlap of sexual autonomy and low fidelity CRPG fans.

I saw you in your ad in AfterDark Plaza, thanks for showing me Somewhere Out There by TWRP.

Learning how to orbit around enemies and weave through projectiles will save you more than trying to hide in most of these hardcore Doom Maps.
I'd recommend you get the autosave WAD that saves on enemy kill% and item pickup, it will enable you to be way more violent and you're gonna need it for SL.

Looked at your channel for the follow but man you gotta disable jumping/crouching unless the map allows it. I'm not a gameplay purist but crouching under every projectile because they can't aim laterally is pretty lame. It probably won't save you in Sunlust anyway because it's inhumane by the end.

For the love of god play this if own a VR headset, this game did some things before HL:Alyx even did and was hands down the most immersed I've ever been in a video game PERIOD. Consistently inventive puzzles/combat scenarios and genre-bending 80's body horror.

This one just is cool on a immediately conceptual level. Entirely ASCII and re-interprets a lot of typical RPG-isms into a form that works with no animations or images.

This came out before the mass vomiting of ugly PS1-Indie sludge and gets it more than 7 of those games combined in less than an hour.

Also from the maker of Brighter Day, a perfect game for polycules that listen to Black Dresses. Needs SteamShare for local Co-Op online but such a creatively-stimulating world and setting with only visual and musical implication.

A game that came out just a few years too late after the "FPS Puzzler-Era after The Stanley Parable" and such to be up there alongside them in the zeitgeist, but still a must-try. Amazingly stark/touchable Art Direction with flat shading and solid colors.
