#ImSim
Ive yet to have my eternal itch of "turn based strategy game thats basically an imsim" fully scratched but this sounds like it ticks a lot of boxes

Even if we got an exact copy of Bloodlines in NEW SHINY TECH™ people still would be disappointed. The Mythos of Bloodlines 1 as this "perfect complex RPG" outgrew the actual game (a janky imsim with an amazing world) to such a degree that whatever happens with it now will forever be tainted

Project Zomboid is a crazy ImSim sandbox with so much going for it

But also I've stopped playing it entirely because they haven't added NPCs back in yet, and they've hired the people that were working on mods so they wouldn't beat em to the punch

Also, holy shit at how much of this tutorial area is skill gated? I picked stealth and speech as my starting skills and now 80% of shit is just inaccessible to me? And not "find another way, it's an imsim" but just straight up, i can't do it?

I don't love this tbh!

o qasir, esse sim. ele é meio imsim de baixo orçamento mas é massa pra quem gosta desse tipo de vibe

seeing Ambrosia Sky listed along side genre-defining games like Hades 2 and Silksong is truly an mindblowing experience

what an incredible launch week for our gay space death cleaning imsim

thanks to everyone who believed in us 🚀🌑

The surest way to discover new immersive sims is to subscribe to 2 Headed Hero's youtube channel. They cover the classics, demos, upcoming releases, games that no-one's heard of (like Ctrl Alt Ego at one time!).
By supporting them, you're supporting all imsim developers.
Super proud that we got to help curate this amazing immersive sim starter pack for the digiphile.co launch! Games in here have never been cheaper anywhere else and there's some absolute bangers and all-time favorites inside.

Imsim games are the only ones who got the memo, simply make the linear path so wide it feels open, but don't actually OPEN it

Name 4 dormant/dead franchises you want to be brought back.

I feel like there are so many other options, but many of them I haven't played yet, so I feel bad putting them on here.

109. Amnesia: The Bunker

This is BY FAR the best "run away from the invincible monster" horror game I've played, and account it actually has great adventure game and even imsim mechanics!
It still has problems and annoyances that come with the genre but it's great. Really dope narrative choices

I think the main lesson here is that there is no good reason for a single player imsim/RPG/whatever to have an official discord server, as official discord servers only bring pain and destruction in their wake. You don't get to choose if a bunch of gay losers enjoy your work (see Homestuck)

oh cool, an imsim set in Poland, sounds cool as fuck
>Looks inside
>It's all queerphobia

Peripeteia getting tanked with negative reviews on Steam

Similar to this (for Imsim level designers), the first reception I worked in had one password and two key-codes written on post-it notes, and the password in particular was visible if you stood at the reception desk.
Again, to every videogame writer who wrote funny emails to read in an immersive sim/etc. where I rolled my eyes and said out loud, "lol like anyone would ever email something this on the nose", again, sorry, I was wrong, life sucks, you nailed it

God fucking damn it I just bought this in the imsim bundle from Digiphile yesterday
November 13, 2025 at 1:59 AM
lol i have sent my fair share of imsim emails

wish I'd seen this before I bought that new imsim bundle. shit reeks
Well, fuck. Revoking any and all Peripeteia recommendations (and I wish I could un-back it on Kickstarter) based on the very thinly veiled transphobia from the dev (the first one in the screenshots here).

I hate this.
Acquaintance grabbed these screencaps. Idk if it's getting purged.

"Second stage is people rejecting conspiracy discourse" is genuinely hilarious, I gotta teach em a little about Yakub and maybe they'll change their tune

Its an indie imsim that has been in the works for awhile, still in EA. I hope it crashes and burns
November 12, 2025 at 2:21 AM
It is, unfortunately, a cyberpunk-adjacent imsim about a sad gun toting anime girl meaning that it has a lot of crossover with signalis in terms of appeal
November 12, 2025 at 2:13 AM
Choro todo dia com como o Clint hocking fez o melhor imsim possível nos 3 Splinter Cell, inventou sozinho o open world moderno com Far cry 2 e depois ficou pulando entre Disney, Valve e Amazon e nunca mais lançou nada. Provavelmente se arrepende de cunhar a expressão "dissonância ludonarrativa" tbm

the cool looking imsim Peripeteia ending up being developed by nazi channers who have nothing but naked contempt for their fellow indie devs is a bit disappointing ngl
November 11, 2025 at 10:44 PM
pigface isnt an imsim but its cool. very good atmosphere
November 11, 2025 at 9:36 PM
imsim genre might be cursed
November 11, 2025 at 9:14 PM
Keep an eye out on the channel for a super awesome announcement, especially if you're an imsim fan - and VERY especially if you ever wanted to play more games like Deus Ex/Thief/System Shock
November 11, 2025 at 6:07 PM
It's so depressing to ree crap like this being called an imsim, we've totally lost our way
