Local theoretical physicist fights off hundreds of humans and aliens by using the power of physics, more at 11.

Why is TikTok not listed as a platform?

Temple Run 2 better >:(

(in all seriousness it's 3 stars like TR2)

Omori

2020

the soundtrack makes me so cry hard i gag. also, sometimes i forget how high the volume of triggering content in this game is. gotta be one of the most tasteless mainstream games about grief and mental illness, 10/10

update: listened to the omori 3 year anniversary concert today. crying to good morning and then getting hit with an ENTIRE CHOIR for tee-hee time was a hell of an experience

if we get an onslaught of mediocre "lethal-company-likes" in the wake of that game's success, i'm going to be pissed - though i will say that i think content warning is worse than a cut-and-dry ripoff would be. a number of the developer's decisions actively confound me, such as including human fall flat movement physics... in a first-person game. why? for what reason? does this add anything other than a slight sense of detachment from my player character? content warning is yet another entry in the endless list of popular multiplayer games that needlessly combine popular gameplay trends to create gimmicky experiences with little-to-no replay value. you might laugh at it with your friends, but only because you'd laugh at anything this stupid with your friends.

oh, and we didn't end up laughing at it. we ended up fighting, because this game punishes you heavily for exploring. this makes the second refund on my steam account. at least the monsters were cute.

Speed-daters ranked by how much I'd want to play this game with them:

1. Spooky Peter (He'd be a riot)
2. Dave (Pure positivity)
3. Gary (I don't think it'd help him, but I have to try)
4. Hattie (She's nice!)
5. Stephanie (She needs something to do)
6. Andy (Would arguably the best commentator)
7. Agatha (Same reason as Gary, but less desperate)
8. Vera (I think she might hate it)
9. Leon (He'd definitely hate it)
10. Kyo (They don't need this stress, bless their heart)
11. Drea (I think they might hate me)
12. Riley (Bye Riley)

Cute game! I wish there was more art, a lot of situations are just described without showing anything. At the very least, a background image for the dates would have gone a long way. But most of all, I truly feel bad for not being able to help Gary more. That poor guy.

there's so much love poured into this game and you can feel it as a player. this game made me feel all kinds of emotions from "oh this is cute" to "damn that's depressing" to "holy shit this is terrifying" to "oh my god this is the funniest shit ever". can't wait to see speedruns of this game.

also as someone who's never really been into soulslikes this game is an excellent entry point 😎
