a bomb factory….they’re bombs..,

lol this is so sick. rlly fucking cool usage of mixed media, some stuff looks like a photo of a real life object like super imposed(?) into the game world and others are weird scuffed pre rendered cutscenes. often there’s live action footage or photography where the characters are interacting w animated objects. looks and honestly sounds like not much else I’ve played, pretty sure they sample two dogs barking for when u fail a stage which is funny !! completely incomprehensible to me as someone who’s only language is english but still lots of cool story beats I was able to pick up on in spite of that. my fave segment being a photograph of a girl watching something on tv and then a clip playing on the television inside of the static photograph. there’s an interview that plays and the film reels keep going back and forth between like a bubbly persona of the girl being interviewed and another where she’s irritable, would be cool to revisit this if it ever gets a fantran but also rlly doubting it ever will bc it’s totally playable and mostly understandable without knowing the language.

Y2K ass fashion I love ittt, so much of the shot comps here remind me of the ending of love & pop :-))

i keep forgetting i need to play this. somehow knowing it was recommended by someone with y2k obsessions who inserts pre-movie spongebob quotes into casual conversation makes for a good motivator. thanks for the reminder

appreciate this sort of run-on style btw. most who'd do it would come across super disjointed or purple prose-y but here it just feels like you're keeping it real. keep on

if that list of Japan-exclusives I made that you liked a couple days ago helped you find this, that's awesome, I've been interested in this one for a while but haven't got to it yet
I love when games make you feel like you got some kind of mental illness where everything could be a bomb, other mediums wouldn't be capable of putting you into the shoes of that sort of paranoia

@chandler ty ur one of my faves on the site !! it’s like real short it took me about three hours to complete and that’s with me being like rlly bad at puzzle games lmao. need 2 play more fmv games bc they looks so fucking good

@PZT think it did, v good list lots of cool looking stuff on it I plan to get around to eventually. this manages to be like very suspenseful without actually being like anxiety inducing/annoying to play
