murder mystery vn set in rural north england at a women's monastery in 1482
sadly part 3 (the final part) isn't out and considering the time it took for part 2 I'd say we're minimum a year out from it

babby modo:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/1545990/Deadeye_Deepfake_Simulacrum/ - top-down immersive sim with command line hacking (think quadrilateral cowboy) and a ridiculous amount of build variety + wacky powers. fun story with a lot of branching paths too
nightmare modo:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2081970/Swirl_Wtch/ - mgsv except you are in a submarine spaceship where the stealth is based around using/avoiding sonar effectively
Femcel murder mystery investigation, the scene girl is trying to find a serial killer in this point-and-click adventure. 478 reviews and -36% off if bought together with the prequel.

Astalon: Tears of the Earth. Super charming retro-style metroidvania with a sort-of rogue-like twist. When you die you go back to the start of the map, but everything you've done stays unlocked, and you get a chance to visit the store for upgrades. I thought I would find it really frustrating at first, but instead I felt eager to go again with a new upgrade or two under my belt. As you progress you open up the usual shortcuts, so it never really wastes your time

But hey, ~50 hours of play time assuming you only do each puzzle once isn't bad for 20 bucks.

Yes, I think I have exactly what you want (it took me like half a hour to find because I didn't recall the name) For what I little recall, this is a supernatural mystery that happens during the hussite wars, you have to find who's pulling the strings and throwing Christians against one another.

As much as it is a streamerbait game, I would honestly recommend Get to Work. It is ultimately a monkey ball physics game, and I actually think it is mechanically implemented quite well. It is the most fun I had with a Monkey Ball style game that isn't SMB1 (not a high bar to clear imo).

Honestly, Rift Wizard 1 already turned me off. I remember trying to hone some necromancer style build, but then I found out it was a popular build around launch and nerfed shortly thereafter with numerous hard counters (too many to overcome imo by diversifying your build). It was borderline completely unviable.
Devs often ruin their games with balance patches, because they start building around the hardcore who already had their first time player experience and many dozens of hours before hand. They don't realize they are spoiling the first time experience of late adopters.

I got your back, anon-kun. The game is DRM free on Itch.io, with the last updated version from Steam adding a horror quest and a new romance, also the same -35% discount. If you get it there you also get a Steam key besides the DRM-free copy, which you could try to use for your library.

I swear to god i will pay you for it.
I didn't think your game would be that fun, gave it a try on a lark and was like 'damn, this is pretty neat'. The battle system is overly done but nice, the characters are pretty cool and the art is awesome. I really didn't expect to like it as much as I did, and ended it wanting a sequel, or more lore involving the characters.
also put in a fucking map, I bet you probably think the maps are simple as is, but goddamnit some of us are retarded.

You mean like in moving sprites or CGs? Anyway, dev seems to be very cheerful about the attention the game is getting and said they're already working on a sequel while polishing the last updates with extra content. Something about making the RPG part deeper with life-sim elements and extra elaborated gothic/vampire worldbuilding. Some features and girls anons suggested got added so don't be surprised if what you say ends up in the game eventually.
any b&w, isolation, sea-themed (or adjacent) kino?

Very fond of the Technomancer. I don't know why it's still sitting on mixed. Combat is janky but very fun with three different weapon styles you choose and stick with; at least two are enjoyable. The atmosphere and setting are great. Story is better from most of the slop out there but nothing spectacular but it does have a nice twist to it. Companions aren't very interesting save for a couple but they are not badly written either. They are just plain but one companion questline has a nice reveal to it at the end. It's a really decent game.
Think of a hub-based budget bioware rpg with action-combat like the witcher.

Similar looping FPS arena action to Devil Daggers but with a much gentler difficulty curve.
>one map, one gun, one sword, one mantis
>you have an HP bar that can be refilled by melee kills
>the gun is full auto but if you ground pound you get a powerful single use hitscan shot
>the sword can be used to dash, bounce off the ground, parry projectiles or goomba stomp enemies
>you can run, jump, wallrun and use the aforementioned dash which can also be used in the air
>once the action starts ramping up the game will swarm you with way too many bugs to stand still so you have to utilize everything in your repertoire to stay alive and pick your targets

To add onto this some more, I already bought everything in this cart, but here's some more games I liked:
- Psychopomp
- Griptape Backbone (its on steam)
- Boneworks
- The long drive
- XIII classic
just in general, I really want a psychedelic/exploratory game where I can really dive in deep and experience an artist having a schizophrenic episode
I want CINEMA, damn it!
Here's what I'm looking into:
- Lorn's Lure
- Kletka
- Obenseur
- Hatch
- Peripeteia
- Fractal block world

Hey buddy MAGES needs all that money to keep rereleasing S;G over and over again but worse
I recently found this "6 degreed of freedom" FPS genre, and I gotta say it's pretty cool. Nothing super ground breaking, but it really scratches that "FPS but in space" itch that I've had for an eternity. I turned off all the auto-alignment settings so that I have to manually pitch and roll to navigate and it's the first time in forever since I've had fun with something arcady.

Tetrachroma might be my favorite Tetris game of all time. The twist to formula is that you can only clear rows of same color, and blocks change colors of both rows and columns as long as it already is singular color.
It also has a mode for normal Tetris.

Super solid game. I avoid the fandom and the game is just super fucking cool. Great exploration, gun fights feel lethal, I love how the gunplay never feels exact, so you just gotta freeball a lot of shots. Good soundtrack, atmosphere will melt you into the game, and like the "cutscenes" too. If you can call them that.

they don't give you much flexibility with the settings (just a low/med/high preset) so you need to use your unrealengine-fu and fix it on your own. the ini file contains a toggle to turn on dlss and they have also bundled it with reflex and framegen so it plays really nicely even at native resolution. it's definitely less demanding than other ue5 titles and allows to play at native res with relative ease. anyone with a 3060 Ti or higher should be fine.

this game caught me off guard with how good it is, and the fact that Episode 0 is FREE, while Episode 1 is also pretty cheap has me hoping that the devs can actually finish releasing the episodes

I will definitely give this a try. The first half of the trailer and the first paragraph of the first review sold me
>I tried this game because I saw someone say it "improved on almost every aspect of Ace Attorney", which was a bold claim even to someone who loves AA, but thinks it has plenty it could improve on. Well, it delivered. I saw another review say it feels "effortless" in every aspect, which is also a rare quality for a game to have. And while I think it does feel effortless, it simultaneously feels deeply considered down to its bones.
And the first chapter is free, so perfect thing to try right after work.

Not that anon but I really enjoyed that game. The action platformer game that comes before it with the same characters was also fun.

I actually have quite some time in that game and was looking up guides earlier today to see how far I have to go because I do want to finish it at some point. (I had somehow managed to bumble my way through the game (minus finding a party build setup) and finish the first traversal of Garm) Not at all similar in story though.

This game is beyond kino, I don't think I can in words convey how much I enjoyed the experience of playing it. Graphics are Amiga-like, gameplay is very fun turn-based combat, the story and style of writing just sucked me in, in a way that is very rare for me with games these days.

what the other anon said is basically it, but I want to reinforce the message
>you won't heal very often, so play defensively
>go after secrets, they often have spells that'll trivialize encounters that would usually fuck you up. But honestly, try to save those for boss battles
>USE YOUR EQUIPMENT. USE GRENADES, USE BEAR TRAPS, USE EVERYTHING YOU HAVE
>you can headshot with the crossbow
other than that, it's mostly about being careful and assessing what enemies are in a room and what you currently have in your inventory. After that, it's mostly about reacting in the best way and thoroughly exploring the arenas

I entered the thread to ctrl+f this game and I am pleased.
Amazing game.
If the MC was named belmont and the villain was dracula it would be damn near indistinguishable from an actual castlevania game. Feels like the halfway point between rondo of blood and SOTN before the latter replaced basically replaced platforming with exploration.

Side-scrolling beat em that takes a lot of notes from Dead Cells in its structure. Play as one of 4 different classes as you run through 5 dungeons with randomly generated layouts, searching for keys and upgrades and the like, with a boss lurking at the end of each one.
The big thing is that this actually features online co-op, and for anyone like me that actually gives damn about that, you know there are shockingly few dungeon delving games with any form of exploration that actually offers online co-op. B&G is pretty simple in its combat, but it's fun enough that it makes it a good game for this type of thing, rather than just being one of few limited options. There's even fun little things, like how text chat is printed (with appropriate pauses for stuff like punctuation) typewriter style above the character's portrait on the hud, which I found to be cute.

MKSchmidt's games have a lot of novelty for me.
>Anomalies
More of a toy than a game. it's a music generator thingy. there's lots of knobs and dials you can turn, or you can roll the dice and randomize it.
>Star Explorers
has not just sequenced, but procedurally generated music. Will there be head-bangers? Probably not. Is there a reason nobody else has done this? Sure. But it's really cool that every planet you land on sounds different. It has a vibe to it that you just can't get from anything else.
>Paradox Vector
true vector graphics and non-euclidian geometry. sequenced music too, but it's not Actively proc-genned like those. The dev hand-picked and inserted some past generations they liked

here's one: it's a visual novel where you progress through the story by deducing and then typing out the correct keyword to this robot maid thing. neat concept although there is the occasional "wtf am i supposed to do" moment. about 3.5 hours of content by my count. and yes you get to fuck it.

not the answer you were looking for, but i'm told planescape torment is very similar, and in fact is directly referenced in disco elysium's original pitch document
It's less than $5 for both games, so buy the Anima Gate of Memories games if you like the old action titles from the PS3/360 days.

NTA, but if you check the community forums you'll see multple users complaining about this or that bug, getting barely any reply(expected with such low player base), and the few replies are almost always either "this game is a buggy mess" or "i don't know OP, i finished the entire game and didn't have any issue"

Gaming is dead isn't it
Anyone has decent recommendations for some retro(but not necessarily) metroidvania and/or similar to A Robot Named Fight?
for reference i already have the usual suspect like Env Station Alpha, GatoRoboto, Castle In the Darkness, Astalon, 9 Years of Shadow, Afterimage, etc

>it's kind of hard
It is hard at the start and the very end for entirely different reasons but the middle is a decent medium, that goes for both games. In the first game once you unlock some moves for both characters and learn how swapping works it becomes a lot smoother, the best piece of advice is to first get the cheap long range attacks for the girl and learn how your inactive party member works when not in use. Nameless Chronicles is a little different since you only play as Nameless instead of two characters and to replace swapping you can basically spend resources to super charge any attack. Fun, but it does mean you lose the safety net.
>and it feels dated and weird, but I'm enjoying it
Yeah, it is janky. Not so much that it feels horrible, however you'll definitely always notice it in everything from the voice acting to the animations. I think the rest of the game makes up for that and you eventually get used to even the low quality parts like The Bearer's VA who sounds like they just lured in a random girl from the street, but other people's mileage may vary.

You can pause battle to cycle through your weapons/gear/spells/items, the radial options pop up around you with all characters frozen on screen.
There's also a co-op version. Me and a buddy just played through it, we took turns being the dog, easily one of my favorite games ever.

Depends on what you mean by arc, its like the post SOTN jumps but faster and not as much air control, its not like the classic games where you commit to jumps and hope for the best.
Having said that it has some very exacting regular, double and triple jumps along with air dashes mixed together you need to do to progress at points. The dashes can be complete bullshit because there's no rhyme or reason as to when you're supposed to press the dash button again for a second and third dash sequence. Those multi air dash sections essentially require long bouts of spamming the fuck out of the button and hoping that you happened to register the input at the right time. That and a brutal lack of checkpoints / save points are the most frustrating things about the game, I hope the dashing gets patched because its basically luck based as to whether it'll work or not. Mercifully its not required often but those sections really pissed me off and prevented me from doing an optional platforming challenge to 100% the game because it requires tons of multi dashes, thats what really soured me on that.

Yeesh, thanks for the writeup. I'm still tentatively interested but I've become really leery of getting metroidvanias close to release precisely because of those sorts of patches. I was having a blast with Lone Fungus before the dev tried to get too cute with changing the jump arc/timing and not only did it fuck up my muscle memory but it also made some of the challenge rooms impossible until they were adjusted.

Wow thats a really shitty move on their part. In this case I don't think anything will be adjusted beyond hopefully changing the input window for air dashing because like I said you could do the same exact timing again and he'll just fall out of the air. You can spam it and its a coin flip as to whether he'll do it or have a slight pause thus dropping you a micro fraction downwards thus screwing you out of the landing. Outside that its fair though very demanding at times.
One thing I did learn was that many, but unfortunately not all, of those sections that require multiple dashes aren't strict input sequences. What I mean by that is it may look like you have to do multiple dashes in a row but actually you can do one, double jump / triple jump right after then do another dash to finish the landing or some mix of that. For whatever reason its only the air dash input that fucks up right after doing one while every other input is responsive.
There's that and the classic obscure "where do I go?" moments where you're really pushed to get creative to progress. I got stuck once because I didn't think to double jump after falling down a loooong chasm to land on a small platform you pass way earlier in the zone. Theres also instant death rooms that are sometimes pretty subtle that something is off though after the first time I paid very close attention and never fell for one again.
I really respect the game for the old school mentality even if it can be brutal at times but thats what makes the air dash problem so infuriating, if you're going to demand exacting inputs then the game better damn well register them when I do them.

Gotta say though the instant death rooms are pretty kino, they have some really unique ways of killing you. Some of them are practically alternate bad endings in of themselves, the game has a few of those officially as well and theres little optional unmarked quests all over the place. If someone complains about something you can go and deal with it and they'll actually have dialog and reward you for it. There's tons of little details like that in that in the game.

Not entirely. They can both be played as standalone stories so you won't miss much details per say, but they tie together to lead into the Finale game with the canon True Ending of the first game's remake. If you play 1 first you'll eventually hit a point where you can't get the proper ending because it requires beating Mary Skelter 2 to unlock the True End, so you'll have to stop playing that game mid ending scenario and play through an entire other dungeon crawler before awkwardly popping back to the first game solely to do the last little stretch of the game with a rusty outlook. Basically it'll ruin the flow.

This. I played the demo of it ages ago and you could simply use the knife weapons dodge move and if enemies couldn't attack anyone else, they'd do nothing. Dev took until post-release to fix this. Even now, its trivially easy to get infinite turns. Knives are still free AND do better damage than most other weapons, especially on the girl. Radiation is still overly punishing and everything else no threat at all.
The dev is just not good at balancing and seems not to care.

This game is fascinating. I bought it when it was a newer game years ago, under a completely different name. It was so poorly designed. Guns would come with negatives better thantheir positives as their norm, the first boss had 3 forms but all others had only one so the first boss was the hardest, boss drops would just get stuck on thin-air offscreen, you had items you had to jump to get but most characters can't jump, they'd have powers or systems the game never explained and you had to unlock everything piecemeal; everything. Even the UI itself had to be unlocked bit by bit, your gear had to, the slots to put them in had to, your meters had to, everything. And every time you did, you got pulled out of what you were doing and forced to do a multi-part fight against waves of enemies; if you lost, you didn't get the unlock.
A testament to just how poor indie design can be
most of these issues still exist now, I would not recomend the game
