and it was easily the most exciting and interesting and amazing experience i have had in gaming since i played outer wilds. which, let me be clear, is i think the highest praise i could possibly give.
if anyone else can see the throughline between those two games could give me some more recommendations i would really appreciate it! i’m thinking along the lines of “games that strongly reaffirm your belief that video games are art”
I think what I loved most about it is that it felt like a real puzzle where I had to use my brain, and the answers weren’t all in the game. For example, having to pick out that someone in the background of one of the scenes had an Irish accent.
It’s one game where I’ve always wanted to find something that gave me a similar experience. I’m definitely going to bookmark this post for future reference.
