Maybe reason isn’t the right word. Was just trying to mention it due to this:
However, some found the developer’s explanation unconvincing, questioning how the studio’s Co-Founder could be unaware that the game hadn’t been indexed for nearly a year and reading the apology less like “I’m sorry” and more like “I’m sorry I got caught.” With both interpretations equally plausible – and equally impossible to prove – it’s up to everyone to decide for themselves whether Wrong Organ deserves the benefit of the doubt.
This is slightly outside the bounds of what you asked for, but I think you might appreciate Vermis.
It’s an art book/game guide for a dark fantasy action adventure game, except the game doesn’t actually exists. The whole thing is entirely fake — basically all of the world building of a video game but without the actual game. The art is fantastic and there’s really nothing else quite like it.
I think originally it was only available in paperback, but a hardcover edition is available now as well for more of that “coffee table book” vibe.
They’re all cool if you’re into the games or whatever they cover, imo. Having books on stuff that you’re not familiar with feels weird, imo. Google Books covering your favourite games and stuff and I’m sure you’ll find plenty. But if you don’t care about that and just want cool gamer stuff to put on the coffee table, The Game Console 2.0: A Photographic History from Atari to Xbox might be one of those. There’s a LOTR illustrated edition. There’s a tomb raider cookbook and travel guide. World of warcraft also has tons of cool art and a cookbook. There’s God of war lore and legends. There’s The Art of Video Games from pacman to mass effect, etc. And for more, there’s This site.
I really like flipping through Blades in the Dark every now and then. It’s a really cool and unique setting with enough vagueness/obfuscation to keep my imagination soaring.
It really says something about the quality of its world-building that I can glance at someone else’s screenshot and vividly remember riding over that specific bridge.
Such a good game. And I have nearly zero interest in westerns.
I have Fallout New Vegas loaded up with the Viva New Vegas modlist, playing as a cowboy with no points put into stealth and going into repair, guns, meele and explosives instead. It’s a bit harder than normal New Vegas, but so fun and comforting.
I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to spoil it for you like that. I thought everyone knew with how prevalent it’s been online. It’s still definitely worth the experience I’d say though
