And some game recommendations by me to add on to the post:

  • Taiji
    • A 2D puzzle game where you slowly unravel how to solve each different element of the puzzles, eventually culminating in a massive puzzle gauntlet. Basically identical in concept and execution to The Witness, but still very much its own unique and fun game.
  • The Golden Idol
    • A puzzle game where each level you must examine a scene to figure out exactly what happened, eventually piecing together the full story over several levels. Don’t let the art style put you off, it’s an incredibly well done game. Most similar to Return of the Obra Dinn in concept.
  • Stories: The Path of Destinies
    • an action RPG with a branching choice-driven storyline, but not every story has a happy ending… You’ll piece together the true story over multiple playthroughs and eventually find the one true path. It wasn’t a particularly life-changing game but it was still a lot of fun and worth checking out if it sounds interesting!

Actively trying to lobotomize myself so I can play Obra Dinn for the first time again

I just got it and wow it’s real interesting. I got that one big golden thingy to spew out magical lines and stuff, and I got my sword, currently seeking that shield.

There is a framed picture of Kim Kitsuragi in my parent’s house, maybe I should actually play it…

This is like the 3rd time I’ve seen somebody bring up Outer Wilds today, and I still haven’t played it. It looks like that might be next on my list.

I really like it but I’m a fucking dumbass apparently, because I’m stuck in it and can’t find any more clues to get further. not as much fun if you’re a dumbass

You can send a screenshot of your rumor log to the Outer Wilds discord if you want a hint, they’re always helpful. Or I can help if you want

Just be so careful not to spoil anything. If you lookup hints, do it with keywords to avoid spoilers as much as possible!

One of a kind experience, definitely play it! 🙂

Idk if it’s an exaggeration or not to say that Outer Wilds changed my life. I played it years ago yet I still think about it nearly every day. I started learning guitar just to play songs from the game. Highly recommend lol

It was definitely worth the price of admission, but I didn’t enjoy it enough to finish. The time loop mechanic just got annoying for me after a while. Having to time lots of different things and if you mess up you have to wait 15 minutes to try again.
