forgot i made this picture my slack pfp

i love writing silly characters

4) ff14
have you heard of the critically acclaimed mmprog final fantasy f-
i started playing right as the free trial was first expanded and my god i was instantly hooked. lead scenario writer natsuko ishikawa is someone i really look up to and i want to be a narrative designer eventually

3) subnautica
i LOVE this game. i'm not particularly thalassophobic and the different zones are just so hauntingly beautiful in their own ways... (i did mod the crabsquids out though. i can't do spiders and spider-adjacent creatures)

2) dredge
i'm not a fan of traditional jumpscare/gory horror, but dredge's flavor of eldritch/abyssal/almost-cozy horror is right up my alley. also all the non mutated fish are real (there's some shit in the oceans, yall)

1) ai: the somnium files
absolutely adore the writing of this game, especially of the characters. theyre all just so... human, and that paired with love being one of the main themes of the narrative just blew me away

sure why not

[ELDRITCH TAVERN]
What happens after you kill the big bad in a TTRPG? How does the world change? Is it a good idea to cast Fireball every time you get into a fight?
This game is an Ace Attorney/AITSF style mystery that explores an "after the end" setting from the perspective of a tavernkeep.

[SNAKE PUZZLE GAME]
No title for this one yet (I floated Troublesnaker by my teammate a while back, it's not quite that anymore), but it's essentially an Untitled Goose Game/Donut County-style puzzle game.
Main mechanic is your ability to swallow and regurgitate multiple objects.
