Thought this looked very cool. School Quest - a point & click adventure game in the style of old Sierra Online games. $4.99 USD so it doesn't break the bank either.

I loved how Look Outside took a gamble on the second and it paid off. When it came out, the forums were all about people trying to figure out the various endings & how to recruit different party members and weird bizarre secrets.

House of Necrosis is a turn-based horror RPG inspired by the 90s survival horror classics.

Featuring a range of items, status effects, traps, and a wide variety of enemies, it's a brilliant roguelike.

Baby Steps, the literal walking simulator gone viral, has a special cutscene for those who tend to skip cutscenes... that's 28 minutes long.

Death to Chronos!

Did a successful run for the first time in Hades 2 last night. Was using the Sister Blades. According to Steam, I've played about 19 hours.

The Folgers incest commercial is a good lesson against upper management fiddling with game development - a small decision that made sense in committee (let's cast an older actress instead of a kid) can mess up the whole creative work (now everyone's talking about incest instead of your product).

Susan Arendt @susanarendt.bsky.social · 1d

TIL about the Folgers incest commercial.

It is, on the surface, a commercial about a guy who comes home from the Peace Corps, and his sister is so excited that she stays up all night and greets him at the door with coffee. Sweet.

Except the actors has juuuuust a bit too much chemistry.

Google it.

Makes sense that TGA doesn't affect sales much since they generally only pick games that are already very popular.

Played it. Thought some of the middle chapters felt like filler, but the finale was wild. The art & music was fantastic throughout.

I'm amused by the Paranormal Activity series trailers that don't actually match up with the real movie. Lots of scenes that aren't in the movie.
