A Game for Wistrel's

Wistrel already turned into a cat ;) (but hasn't finished with Edith yet).

I did enjoy Gone Home btw and intend to replay through the story clips because it was so darn well acted and I really liked the story not to mention it felt like a 90s simulator :D. But it took me about 5 attempts to even make it through the porch I should say, somehow I wasn't very compelled to start (but glad I did in the end)

 

That name rings a bell... quite interested.... I liked Myst but only played Myst 3. Incidentally, not sure if anyone would be interested in this fella but with any luck the game will finally come out this year.

 

Jamira I just thought... given your experiences, do you have any thoughts about North Korea?

 

So I guess, given I cracked a little on my resistance of the summer steam sale, I should mention the latest games for Wistrel's I've picked up.

First up, since I already completed it, "We were here". This is a 2 player escape the room game (I'm quite a fan after the Zero escape series) where you and a friend have to work together, describing what you can see to each other, in order to guide each other through the various rooms and puzzles you find yourself encountering.

It's really good fun and you should try it because it is totally free! (and even supports VR!)

Other stuff I picked up are Jet set Radio (an inline skating game), Qube (a portal-esk puzzle game), The Turing test (a space puzzle game? not actually sure yet) and Homesick (puzzle urban exploring?).

Two unexpected purchases were a game called Orwell where you are investigating terrorists by looking for clues on the net in blogs and social media and even intercepting phone texts, and another called hacknet which, as far as I can tell so far, seems to be something of a linux simulator! Still, it seems quite interesting so far... and has an awesome soundtrack. For example:

 

A friend showed me dishonoured 1 once. It sounded good. He was a big advocate of brothers also. I played on his recommendation.

Actually I liked it a lot. Been replaying with a different friend from the first time I played now I have 2 joypad support

 

So tried this one out just now (homesick). Didn't get too far. Strangely it depressed me too much which is odd as normally I like this sort of thing... I wonder if it was the music or perhaps just the heat. Ho hum.
