Irreverent stuff like this will never not be funny.

Ngl, I didn’t read OPs post, but Cync has given me so much trouble.

Tecksture

I’m not sure how old old is, but SOMA is always such a delight to play through.

Another somewhat older game is Duskers where you control drones one empty human ships, trying to find out where humans went.

I was coming here to reply SSX 3 :)

I’ve had it for a while but finally it dug it’s claws in - Tunic!

Apparently this is a devisive little game. I absolutely adore it and think the combat difficulty is just about perfect while the puzzle solving and the exploration is masterclass levels of design. The show, don’t tell approach is used so perfectly here. Ah I love it

I love this game so much. It’s so chill but also blood boiling lol

That’s what I came here to say as well. It’s so well done and it hits in such a profound way.

Have you read any of the short stories on the game’s website? I highly recommend it. Catherine’s is so sad and it really gives a ton of insight into what she went through.

What is it about the Long Dark that’s stuck with you?

I read somewhere that it’s because human eyes focus on something that is the size of your thumbnail at an arm’s length, so pretty small, and that distorts things a little bit so that what we’re focusing on appears larger. Whereas cameras take in the entire field of view as their focus (at least phone cameras, lenses are a whole other ballgame), and all of that data being poured in at once means the distortion isn’t there.

But that could be complete bull. I just read it somewhere on the Internet and it made sense lol.
