There are a lot of Paper Please style games this NextFest, but the best one I tried out is Probably Stolen. This game seems simple at its core but also uses character traits and builds to shake up the concept. The story and faction system are interesting. store.steampowered.com/app/4348910/...

Unharvest is a fairly simple incremental game about spreading plagues and death to a farm. Something about the presentation and narrative is compelling. Interested to see where this game goes! store.steampowered.com/app/5165160/...

Puppy Truck is a 3D open world platformer full of whimsy and surprise. Great feeling controls, excellent level design, and movement tech that makes you feel in control at all times. Seems the makings of something excellent! store.steampowered.com/app/3940440/...

I do like an absurd game and that might be why Indoor Shrimp Farming Simulator oddly captivated me. I won't even try to explain what this game is. I don't know what I played. store.steampowered.com/app/5316810/...

It might look like a traditional dungeon crawler, but Dungeon Automata is an auto battler where you use node-based programming logic to run a team through preset dungeons. Unique, great music, fantastic pixel art. This one feels like it'll be challenging! store.steampowered.com/app/5095050/...

Finished reading all three Myst books and I'm a bit surprised this franchise has never gotten a tv series or movie. Seems like it's been attempted a few times but always falls through the cracks. Most of the lore isn't half bad and feels like it could be adapted to a mini-series fairly easily.

Playing Myst for the first time and this game still hits.

I've now finished the OG 1997 version of Riven, moved on to Myst III: Exile, and read the entirety of the first Myst novel. I'm in too deep.

Finished tonight and what a fun and well designed game. Very surprised I made it all the way through with no outside help. The reputation of difficulty is a bit overstated. Gonna tackle the 1997 OG version of Riven next - read that's the hardest of the series so we'll see if I can handle that one.

A gaming feat 29 years in the making - finally got all platinums in Blast Corps.

Had heard mixed things and started watching The Acolyte on a whim and honestly fresh Star Wars story with some of the best fight sequences. Wish more Star Wars stuff was independent like this instead of everything needing to be linked.
