I’ve been curious about the story since they released the current alliance raid series in FFXIV which is a FFXI crossover. Would love to try it if there was some kind of combined subscription.

You could try of The Devil! It’s an episodic indie cyberpunk courtroom mystery game and the first episode is free. (also i’ve been obsessed with it lately and need more people to talk about it pls pls pls)

When I saw this, I immediately sent the link to a gamedev I know who has a disability. They were really excited 🥰

Infinity Nikki! It’s probably my new favourite dress up game (dethroning FFXIV)

Video games are part of our culture and reflect our society the same way as movies, books, and other media. And, like with old books, preserving and studying old games allows us to understand the environment and time in which they were created, as well as the concepts and ideas that they drew upon, or that newer games drew from them.

I mean, I like Katawa Shoujo as well, but there’s no need to be that condescending towards other games😅

Got myself a Switch and started playing Cult of the Lamb and Jack Jeanne! Cult of the Lamb is incredibly fun, and I’ve just started the second dungeon~

The DS series was the peak handheld generation for me. I like that the console’s design encouraged creative game mechanics, and it has some of my favourite games of all time. I have a DS Lite, a 3DS and a new 3DS, though I think the original DS line had the better game library compared to the 3DS. The camera and 3D effect were rather gimmicky and didn’t add much value for me.

I think the game that best encapsulates what I love about the DS is The World Ends With You, a JRPG set in modern Tokyo that used both screens at once in its action combat system - to control two different characters. The character on the bottom screen would have you use touch gestures to trigger attacks, while you needed to do button combos to control the character on the top. It was insanely fun!

Other games I liked from the early DS era are Hotel Dusk, a detective game that is played in “vertical mode” so you hold the console like a book - and Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan!, the original Japanese version of Elite Beat Angels, a rhythm game.

I also played all romance/otome games that were available in English for the DS, my favourite was Tokimeki Memorial Girl’s Side.

The DS figured out touch-based interactions way better than smartphones which are like the main touch-based “handheld” nowadays. That is because you could dedicate the entire touchscreen to gameplay input, since you still had the top screen to show relevant game information. Smartphones on the other hand need to utilize the entire screen both for input and displaying stuff, which just doesn’t work as well imo.

Yes, More TWEWY love!! I’m kind of sad that’s the franchise seems to get overlooked a lot
