A conversation about creating lampposts when there were none to begin with. Become one with the spiraling nonsense.

Wasted 100+ hours of my life and probably going to a little more just to 100% this game eventually. and it was completely worth it just so I can see Siffrin and his friends move on together. Light Spoilers Ahead.

This is one of the best RPGMaker games I have ever played next to the Hello Charlotte series and dare I say the one with the funny dog. This grabbed me the moment I saw a scrimblo lil guy with a wizard hat and sold me the more I kept playing, I have never played a rpgmaker game with such tight writing and characterization before, just seeing Siffrins slowly going desperate and insane in all the big and small ways the game presents to you was a treat to behold and I just wanna hold and protect the little guy. also this is just Higurashi minus the bloodshed I'm just saying, but in a good way.

You eventually just start feeling like him too, going through the motions, seeing the same dialogue, afraid you'll miss something even though you know it's always the same, the actors playing their roles... especially if you're achievement hunting. The game >can< get repetitive, yes, but I believe that's the point, and the game always lets you know what you have to do through your friendly neighborhood Loop.

It's hard of me to choose a favorite, mostly bc they're all great, but it's between Isabelle and Odile, Odile's design and just her personality in general is peak hag and I really really really like her :) while Isa is a lovable himbo and I just, that one scene where he's in bed does something to be man I wanna be bearhugged by him and have a friend like him that's all I love the refrigerator :> I am totally normal about him as much as he's normal about Siffrin. Cute Himbo aside,

If any of you related to Siffrin, even as much as I did, please, talk to someone, talk to people about your problems. I know it's hard, it's scary, and you don't want to get hurt. I understand. Wouldn't it be nice to go back in time? Wouldn't it be nice to freeze everything just so you could breathe? There are many times in my life where, I just wanted everything to stop. But everything has to change, move on, grow, live, keeping that all inside of you, to fester, to brood, to rot, it never ends well, and you might do something you'll regret. Whatever problems you are facing, you are never alone.

I loved this game, and I can't wait to see what the dev does next.

With Etherane there's always this feeling that you cannot understand this world at first glance, this world was not meant for you to understand, and you will struggle to understand it but still feel depressed when it's all over. I want to believe this is what Ular felt aswell. I wanna hug Ular dammit.

While sometimes a bit jank (it was a Skyrim mod beforehand after all, also please turn off hints) the mystery of it all kept me hooked & guessing the entire time, and I ended up completing all of it in one sitting. It is the definition of quality over quantity, plus the game got me through a really shitty flu on New Years, that has to mean it did something right, right? Human are inherently hypocritical, our moral structures fallible, and we make countless mistakes every single day, but this can become our strength, as knowledge has always been built on them.

Galerius is best boy :) getting him that flower was worth it <3

While a lot harder to intuit the scary/dark parts, I adored the Strangers, loved how they contrast the Nomai as an alien race with a vastly different view on the eye, spooky owlk fellas :> and exploring the Stranger was a treat. Fear is the ultimate double-edged sword, it can either fuel you to heights unimagined or keep you stuck forever, safe in obscurity. Wield it right and you learn there was nothing to be afraid of in the first place.

It's a beautiful game about mercilessness of existence and the acceptance of death told in a way that only this medium can. Every day spent away from playing it furthers my love for it as it simmers in my brain. This simulacra of a simulation of our universe will stay in my mind for a very long time. Everything can be taken from you in a single second, that doesn't mean what your doing here and now isn't worth it. We stare into the universe and it speaks to us, we just have to answer back.

I love Niko so much I want him to be my son :>

I have too many thoughts about this game and need to sit down and write about it later, but a genuine masterpiece that captures the early internet better than any video essayist while being a great detective game in it's own right, can't wait for Dreamsettler :)

I loved this game, the entire thing is just self-indulgent fun with masterfully-crafted levels that make you feel like a speedrunner. Some lines were cring but it knows what it is & while nothing to write home about, it wraps up nicely and has it's moments, plus the gameloop is too fun for me to care. also it's OST is just great. I will one day return to get all red dev times and attempt the rush modes, but for now i'm extremely happy with my time with this game. and yes this game is the alt universe where spike spiegel ended up in heaven. Red best girl.

I really liked this game and I wish there was more of it, extremely fun and now I want to check out the rest of the series of games, loved all the characters and their dynamics and the story is great ''the human will triumphs over all'' storytelling, it's no masterpiece or anything like that but it's incredibly well done. I honestly don't have many negatives, some people didn't care for/like the bosses but I loved them mostly, especially Balteus. LoR is probably my favorite ending, heart couldn't stand seeing Walter like that. Plan to 100% this soon, good damn game :)

Perfect comfy podcast/streamer game with Kojumbo Wackiness, wish there was no combat sections, the game should have played to it's strengths of it being a delivery/logistics management game with pseudo-online connections with others in the form of structures that benefits eachother while hiking across the disconnected USA instead, otherwise it's a really good game for the right kind of person.

I have yet to beat it though and just got the Director's Cut ver. had 50 hours in the first ver of the game. Will update (maybe)

That was definitely one of the games of all time, 8/8, would call it my GOTE, (game of the existence) I can't wait to play The Stanley Parable ∞: Gambhorra'ta Allegory on my versatile swiss-media-santoku knife with dog mode enabled.

''Do you know why I hate Undertale? Because it's the best game ever made. Its graphics look like they were drawn by a 4 year-old, with the talent of Pablo Picasso in his prime...

Which is what I would have said if I liked the graphics, which I do

...not.

Narratively this game is a paragon of interactive storytelling, every choice you make weighs on your conscience because every connection you make with the characters feels organic.

And that's why I'm giving this game a five out of five.
