If you’re ok with point and click/puzzlers, the rusty lake games are probably some of my favourite storylines. Extremely well written imo, creepy and with a few jump scares to keep you on your toes.
I hooked my wife with Rusty Lake Hotel, which is probably the easiest entry point into the whole series.
Then we went into a few cube games, and then Rusty Lake Roots, which is so well made and where all the best lore is.
Did some more cube games, and right into Rusty Lake Paradise and Samara Room, and Underground Blossom.
I also didn’t tell her The Past Within is also a Rusty Lake game, so when she saw the connections while we were playing, her excitement went through the roof.
A short but memorable puzzle-type game where you have to put together scenes and characters to create a story. Actions in previous scenes affect how characters behave or appear in later ones.
Wow. Yeah, absolutely. I had forgotten about that game until you mentioned it. Thank you for reminding me. It’s entirely unique and deserves to be remembered. But yeah, I don’t think I have it in me to replay it.
Yea, it’s a real banger. For the uninitiated, it’s set in Feudal Japan that plays like Resident Evil but with Demons instead of zombies. And they have one of the 3 titles on steam for a relatively fair price if you don’t have access to a ps2 and a physical copy.
A lot of people are posting games that are short and linear. But to match your energy, games that cannot be replayed unless you forget what you learn;
Case of the Golden Idol is a mystery/deduction game, a la Obra Dinn.
Toki Tori 2 is a puzzle metroidvania, where you can do your full moveset from the start - tweet and stomp. Right from the first screen, big chunks of the map can be shortcut through once you put your later learnings into practice.
Yeah, it’s an amazing game. And, yeah, you most likely got the good ending. The other route has more lore and a lot of post game content, assuming you’re playing the Switch version. (The Steam version still has post game content, but they added more in the Switch version.)
I feel like the yakuza series is fucking fantastic, but not that replayable. Usually it’s because I seek out all the substories and stuff on my first run, so it takes fucking ages to finish, but I’ve never got the urge to play it again after I’ve completed the stories.
