Huh. Didn't know they were working on a sequel. Well, I liked Read Only Memories, so I guess I'll be keeping an eye on this one too.

I'm assuming that it's inspired by S.T.A.L.K.E.R. in the sense that it draws off the same source material, Roadside Picnic. It'll be interesting to see what direction they take this.

Weirdly, to me this looks extremely similar to Mark of the Ninja, but with different graphics. Maybe it's the level design and how things move? There's a strong similarity in how it's presented, somehow.

This game seems to be 100% my jam, but I agree with CatKiller that the "working on it" with regard to Linux doesn't lend much confidence. I was really hoping we'd be day 1 instead of an afterthought, but here we are I guess.

They lost me at "harem".

It's a garbage trope in anime, I can't imagine video games are likely to improve it.

Quoting: randylI love these events.

TBH to me they seem often to be absolutely useless. But if it is fun for people, why not.

In my case, it gave me an excuse to re-install Outland, which I'd been meaning to take another run at.

Interesting. One of the games it wanted me to play was Serious Sam. Both the First Encounter and the Second in different rooms.

Turns out it doesn't count either if you play them using Fusion.

Quoting: randylThe Cambridge definition, in my opinion, is colored through heavy cultural bias that "style" is connected to and defined by the rich and upper class.

So is the style in this game, I think. While there's a visible date on one of the newspapers in the trailer of 2020, it seems to borrow heavily from an upper-class colonial aesthetic from about the late 1800's.

A "proper desktop release" that's not going to be on Itch? That sucks.

Huh, coincidence to see this and Monster Sanctuary get articles on the same day, since I bought both planning to wait out the rest of the EA period. I did try playing it back early January and at that time it clearly had a lot missing still. Hopefully by July it'll be complete and fun.
