Land of Nowhere is a survival horror game set inside a sunken tower where a mysterious signal promises hope of survival. Destroy the bodies of concrete monsters, keep the power running, and explore a nonlinear map to find whoever is sending the signal.

Optimizing the immersion out of them, leaving only the skeleton of a really well designed game. And is that skeleton enough to really appeal to a wider audience that the AAA machine is looking to sustain?

Genuinely asking, how do we even solve this? How can we make sure that each player has a unique experience? How do we encourage them NOT to check for the answers online? or is this simply a non-issue and I'm way off here?

771 is an experimental horror game created by 7 developers in 7 days. Each developer had just one day to work on the game, without knowing what the others had made before them.

PUGAD is an upcoming spearfishing horror game set on a secluded island in the Philippines. Catch and sell fish, upgrade your gear, and dive deeper into the waters to discover what lurks beneath the surface. 🐟

❌ Open world content feels like it’s gonna run out of steam soon. I already started doing the same few activities just to cross those question marks off the map. It’s not boring quite yet, but I can see the signs. The Duelist difficulty keeps things interesting, but for how long?

Overall. My opinion on it is genuinely positive and I’m looking forward to seeing the future of this franchise. Different time periods, the same mythos. I’m invested. I don’t regret my purchase at all. Keep you all posted after 20 hours? Let me know if you’re curious about anything specific.

❌ There are some weird animation issues here and there. Coen feels especially stiff when running through the environments. Keeps getting stuck in the terrain that I can’t feel that power fantasy of being a super speed creature.

❌ Combat has similar issues. The camera constantly locks onto enemies, making repositioning difficult. Once combat starts, you’re stuck until you kill everything or run far enough away. Worse, invisible walls can suddenly block doors you just entered through. Really strange design choice.

✅ I like the equipment system too. The ability to make day/night specific loadouts, meaningful stats, perks, everything plays well together and keeps pushing you to experiment with new builds and abilities.

✅ The story is captivating enough that I am actually invested in Coen’s journey. But honestly, I’m more invested in the bigger picture here. Who is Brancis serving? That’s what I wanna know.

✅ The worldbuilding is great. It’s rare to get a new fantasy world that actually feels fresh. Dawnwalker has its own mythologies, religions, and cultures. Unique, yet familiar enough to feel grounded, with nods to Satanism, medieval corruption, and, of course, politics.

✅ Big fan of the witchcraft and vampiric abilities too. They add enough variety that you could even make some unique builds that can break the game. I also like that you can use one or the other during day and night. Forces you to keep adapting your play style rather than getting you comfortable.

✅ Love the time mechanic. Makes me think about every move I make. What quests to take, what activities to do, what skills to even level up; everything spends time and keeps you on edge.

✅ I like the combat system. Every swing and block requires thought, and you have to watch the enemy’s movements to anticipate attacks. Miss a block and you’re punished hard. In Duelist difficulty, just one or two hits can kill you. Very high risk, high reward.

The Sinking City 2 is great. It's an incredible achievement to have made this game during the invasion of Ukraine. It's clearly a better video game than the original even though it lost something unique in its pivot to survival horror. My review: youtu.be/xQHn8aarU30

A blizzard rages, and you're a lone survivor in a freezing wasteland. Grafted monstrosities seek your warmth, and the wind is your closest semblance of a friend. THERMOCLINE is a survival horror RPG taking place upon a frigid corpse-planet.
