Really bummed about this cancellation. However, if you’re looking for other games in this genre of narrative desktop / interface games there are several upcoming games to look forward to at least.
Description: Our algorithm has chosen you for inclusion in the DECRYPTO project. Your job is simple: we send encrypted texts, you decipher them. Loyalty and diligence will be rewarded with upgrades and customization options for your system. Disobedience and sabotage will be punished.
Description: A detective-like puzzle game set in a 90s operating system. Rummage through forgotten files, abandoned games and outdated software. Face your fears to find the reason behind a teenager’s disappearance.
Description: lily’s world XD is a psychological horror game where you investigate a young girl’s computer. Channel your inner 2000s teen as you read her old conversations, customize her blog, and look through her embarrassing selfies. That is, until you find messages addressed to you…
Description: You’re stuck inside an abandoned video game, haunted by its own digital decay. In oneway.exe, uncover the mystery of UNTITLED.exe, its three developers, and the evolving Internet eras that once shaped their friendship.
Description: Pony Island 2: Panda Circus is a phantasmagorical voyage through time, myth, divinity, and video games. Escape the lordly deities of the underworld with your soul, and your sanity, intact. This is not a game about ponies.
Description: VICE Undercover is a point & click narco-thriller set in an alternate 1980s Miami - where every choice matters. You play as undercover agent Vida, and for one hour per day, you’re taking control over a cartel-run computer using Amigo OS, a fully-functional 1980-inspired operating system.
However, Dreamsettler was the one I was most looking forward to, which is a real shame it’s cancelled.
Thanks for the nice comment. I was struggling to do the editing in the browser, so I downloaded Abricotine to draft the post in Markdown more easily. For the zine do you mean the last image? The Choice Beat one? I can’t seem to replicate the issue.
My partner had been pushing me to join Lemmy for awhile, but I came across this sub and saw your posts and was motivated to finally make an account. I really enjoyed reading through the backlog of them and the amount of effort you put into your posts is much appreciated. Steam Deck, GOG and Linux are some of my main interests in gaming so it’s really great to read your enthusiastic and positive posts on these topics.
I’m also a big fan of what GOG stands for and thank you for posting that job post listing. I’m really tempted to apply to one of the positions even though I don’t live in Poland. I’m pretty qualified and it would be amazing to get to work there.
Also, as I’m new to the community I was wondering what the preference here is for long-form multi news post summaries vs short “breaking” news posts. There’s a few other people I follow through RSS who make these type of long-form posts and I’ve started making some of my own on my personal website. If it’s okay, I would like to take inspiration from your news summary posts to compile some news from other more niche topics in gaming and post them here if that would be of interest.
