A fair number of the Choice of Games allow it but none of them are point and click adventure, just multiple choice gamebooks

I know Spirits from the Deep has that

Maybe The Expanse game? I have not tried it

oh this is good!

did you see that a new bundle site launched with ex-Humble people where they kicked off with a "immersive sim" bundle? (of course I found myself wondering what was an immersive sim anyway after reading that, but hey both system shock remakes) www.digiphile.co/collections/...

I did get Birdcage on my calendar and not that one.

Galaxy Princess is on though!

I am now curious your opinions about R-Type

"does the guy who nags you get chomped by aliens in a satisfying way when they exit the party"

I found it pretty engrossing, which I don't usually do with "collection of essay" academic books, the theme this time made it feel like it had an arc to it even though it has like 28 authors

Plenty of people have counted it as an adventure, yeah

I’m not finicky either way

I've seen the trailer only, but it feels like a limited-to-one-room adventure game rather than a pure puzzle game (it seems to matter it is in "physical space"). Still seems borderline and probably would need to see the whole game to be sure.

Will Moczarski (who I link in the post) has tried hard to get in touch with Corr and Denman but no luck. They don't seem to be interested in talking.

I mean, one of the movies starts with him literally faking his death and popping out of the coffin after a burial at sea, so there's precedent at least

One thing I love about the history is how it started with a game with almost no Tolkien in it despite HOBBIT in the name. This annoyed someone enough to make their own more Tolkienesque version, but it still wasn’t enough, which annoyed someone else into making a mega-sized version

Dooooo it

I have far more views on my blog in 2025 than I ever did in their supposed heyday
