- Comment on Xbox as a platform is officially dead 14 hours ago:
There’s a recent one that came from China called The Real Face of a VTuber. It’s pretty good, and borrows heavily from Ace Attorney gameplay.
I’m pretty sure this one ( The Bygone Days of Her and the Flowers ) is a Genshin spinoff with Ace Attorney gameplay and surprisingly high production value, but there’s no English translation.
Whispers of the Luminaries counts for sure, and appears to be coming out either this month or the next. It also has a great demo to try out.
In Rose Academy, you collect clues on the murder, but I haven’t found anything where you actually use the clues in the demo. It’s unquestionably a mystery, though. This game comes out early April.

Steam fixes a lot of that with Proton.
The stuff you can’t really do on Linux is anything with Kernel Anti-Cheat, which you don’t want infesting your device anyways.

I’ve been enjoying the advances in escape room games. mc2games makes some good ones.
The HL2 VR mods are pretty good if you have a headset. Reloading a gun with your physical hands is pretty immersive.
There’s been a silent rise in mystery-themed (Ace Attorney adjacent) games in the East recently. The mysteries get better and better.
Russian games have been innovating a bit to attract Western customers. “No I’m not Human” is one of those. There are also some Russian visual novels that are good thrillers.
Of the games China makes that aren’t gachaslop, some have tried to innovate. This one syncs what the character doing with real world time. So if it would take 10 minutes for a character to do something, it would take 10 actual minutes. The game doesn’t even have to be on during those 10 minutes, so it can be something where you check in every now and then.

That was a good series.
- Comment on Next Fest demo for indie game about the Moon's impending collision with Earth 6 days ago:
Last one. Everyone’s pretty much out of options for actually stopping it, and a big theme is preventing the remaining people from snapping under the pressure of the world’s imminent end.

- Comment on "Game preservation only works if people care" As GOG doubles down on its commitment to saving old games, it's asking players "who give a s**t" to support its crusade 1 week ago:
The way I specialize is:
- JAST USA for the rare occasion they have a game I want, and I don’t want to bother with getting a patch.
- DLSite for the robust catalog of R18 games that are outside of my government’s snooping.
- DMM (with some special browser cookies to even get in) if I want to be sure my government isn’t snooping when I buy games.
- itch io for free games or games made by small time creators
- GOG for games released around 1995 - 2005
- Steam for general purpose
- Patreon if there’s a particular paid early access game I’m looking for.

Only games I bought from these guys are the games I can’t get on Steam.

- Comment on Is £70 becoming harder to justify? The rise of cheaper blockbuster games 1 week ago:
I fully expect gacha mechanics in the sequel.
Pull for Niko Bellic! Only available for one month! 0.1% drop rate, but pity triggers at 150 pulls!
- Comment on Video games are losing the "attention war" to gambling, porn, and crypto, according to industry report 2 weeks ago:
Already exists. Gacha H-games (which may accept crypto payment, not sure) happen to be extremely expensive to play, too.
- Comment on Why are we not getting stress relief games where we take our stresses out on normal people? 2 weeks ago:
Technically the final level of Manhunt 1 counts.
Rich dude lets a criminal on death row on the loose in some “TV sets”, with orders to kill everyone in sight. When the criminal survives the series finale, he fights through the cops and the rich guy’s personal guard, and chops the rich guy to pieces with a chainsaw.

Sent the review! It’s good stuff.
- Comment on I Live In Eastern Europe And I'm Making A Creepy Game About Authoritarianism (Demo Is Live) 3 weeks ago:
I’m playing through it now - I went through the playtest, and I like the new intro. I also want to let you know that the game was muted until I opened and closed the settings screen, for some reason.
- Comment on Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face 3 weeks ago:
That’s another Russian facebook, yes.
Telegram I feel is a mix between Facebook and Twitter. It doesn’t really push far enough in either direction to be a copy paste clone.
- Comment on Discord will restrict your account next month unless you scan ID or face 3 weeks ago:
It’s a Russian copy of facebook. Non-Russians hate it for that reason alone.
- Comment on Remedy's new CEO is a former sports betting guy and EA executive who aims to 'scale Remedy in a way that builds lasting value' 3 weeks ago:
I predict a Control gacha game.
A 50/50 soft pity at 100 pulls, with hard pity at 200. Pull your favorite Control character on the limited banner! Note the limited banner character won’t transfer to standard once the banner ends. Pity also will not carry over.

Well there is that one nsfw forum that is VERY active. Said forum also provides a list of file hosters that have escaped enshittification.
Those guys pirate the shit out of Japanese games but official nsfw game developers sometimes go there to advertise.

- Comment on What are some good games to play while sick? 2 months ago:
If you’re majorly sick, I recommend playing a visual novel. They usually do not require much movement or thinking on your part; most only need you to click you mouse or tap spacebar to advance. You can look up a VN that suits your needs here: Link If you want a VN that has a particular genre or theme I can give more specialized suggestions.
Aside from that, you can play some simple automation or puzzle games. territorial.io works well for this. shapez 2 is also a good option.

- Comment on 2025 Game Awards Results Discussion 2 months ago:
If HL3 ever comes out, it will be a looter shooter with a strange story. In the time skip between 2 and 3, the rebels and Combine sued for peace because it turns out the Combine really are here to help humanity somehow. And most of the game is spent assisting the Combine with invading the very evil Race X homeworld.
- Comment on Any games I missed in the last 21 months? 2 months ago:
I specialize in finding obscure good games.
Alice’s World - Mix between Doki Doki Literature Club and an adventure game.
Astro Colony - Satisfactory in space.
Days Without Incident - Fun small game make by the same guys who made Nightmare House 2.
I also recommend keeping an eye on Fractured Blooms, The Oversight Bureau, Cycle of Struggle Ardengrad, and Advent Dawn. They’re only demos at the moment though.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
I personally stick to searching by specific tags to find the hidden good stuff.
