Thanks! I originally planned for these posts to just be a screenshot or two, with maybe a little discussion on what’s going on in my latest games (See a few of my first posts). But one of my pet peeves with gaming communities is how everyone just assumes you know the game being discussed. They jump into fine details, or use acronyms or in-game lingo to talk about it, which alienates those who’ve never played the game. Sometimes I’m interested in a game being discussed, but I’ve never played it, so I can’t follow the discussion!
So I figured I’d make posts that introduce games to everyone. If you’ve played it before, it’s a nice refresher of the gameplay and gives you a space to gush about what you loved or hated about it. If you’ve never heard of it, it’s a good intro to the game and its story and mechanics.
Also, my other hidden purpose is to force myself to play more games. I have a Steam library of over 3,500 games and I’ve only played 25% of my library (according to SteamDB). So this forces me to pick something new every day and give it a shot. I’m discovering a lot of fun games that I didn’t even know I had in my library! I got a lot of my games through random bundles, so I didn’t even choose a lot of them.
That’s exactly how I feel. I love this game, but I hate survival games where you have to work just to stay alive, more or less avoid enemies. Suffice to say, I play this on the easiest mode, so I don’t have to think too hard about the survival aspect.
You’re welcome! I have too many games and I enjoy playing and discussing them with people, which is why I post here. I sometimes forget what is in my library, so posting about a new game every day helps me to work through some games I’ve forgotten about, or discover new ones I bought in a bundle and never got around to playing.
In my opinion, there are too many news articles here about games and not enough discussion just appreciating games, so I thought I could start some conversation with these posts.
I just went to wishlist this game and discovered it was already on my wishlist. Can’t wait for this game to release! I’ll definitely have to add it to my queue of random screenshot posts here.
Every post I make to this community always gets about 9 downvotes. I think a dedicated number of them are people who just don’t want to see this kind of content. Or maybe bots, considering how the number is almost the same every time I post.
But as long as the overall vote count stays in the positives, I’ll keep posting! I like discussing the various games I play and I figure this is a great way to open discussion in the community.
I honestly haven’t played any other games like this; I didn’t realize this was a common genre. I caught Witch It! in beta several years ago and it’s the only game of its type I’ve seen.
One of my favorite modes of this game is “Mobification.” Basically, every time a witch is defeated, they turn into a hunter. So as you lose witches, you also gain more hunters and it gets harder to stay hidden. A very challenging game mode, but also very entertaining. And fun if you have witches that are really good at hiding. The more hunters, the easier it gets to find those sneaky witches!
Because this is a South Korean game, I felt it was only right to play it in its original Korean language (with English subtitles, because I don’t speak much Korean). English dubs on Asian works just feels weird to me.
But I lived overseas for almost a decade, so I’m used to hearing foreign languages. It feels more authentic to me to hear something in its original language. I know a lot of Americans don’t like to hear foreign languages in their movies or games though (or read subtitles while watching something), so there is English in this game if you prefer.
I also turn on subtitles anywhere I can, because I have ADHD and my brain won’t focus on auditory signals. So being able to read while someone’s talking helps me to stay focused and in-tune with the conversation. It helps to provide context in some of these screenshots though, which is a bonus.
Yeah the game distorts your vision slightly, to add to the subtle anxiousness. You can fine-tune it in settings, but by default, it can make you feel a little unsteady and ungrounded.
I love liminal spaces. I usually experience a sort of warm, soft comfort from them. Probably from exploring my dad’s empty office building back when I was a kid. He and his secretary were the only employees, so there were tons of empty, poorly lit rooms and hallways.
But the longer I played this game, the more dread started to creep over me. Probably because I have a mild fear of deep waters, and you can’t see anything in these waters unless you’re standing right over them.
