BABBDI

[rotgut-inc]

My mutuals are always playing shit that sounds made up and when i look at the steam page it LOOKS made up. Like yall are playing iCarly games. NCIS games. I hear my mutuals talk about babbdi and straftat and the gnorp analogue and i feel like my entire mutual circle is age regressors

[the-eyes-under-your-steps]

Best indie horror recommendations, go.

I'll start; Sally Face (best story), Bendy and the Ink Machine (classic, absolutely stunning visuals), Detention (creepy ass side scroller), BABBDI (not super horror, just fucking creepy), Critters for Sale (Mandela Catalogue kinda thing), Endacopia (just a fucking drug trip).

Shoot.

Tried gaming for the first time woo

Im not a gamer at all but was out with a friend the other day who is and she influenced me so I ended up on steam playing Babbdi and then Scanner Somber and omg..

First of all Im a SUCKER for atmospheric subtle horror vibes and Babbdi was so immersive and wonderful but then scanner somber???

I just finished and I am legit in awe -- u know when something is just EXACTLY what you needed???? It's like scratching an itch that's been hiding under a cast or something. It's suuuuch a GOOOOOOOD idea and so wonderfully executed. The execution honestly was insane , cant believe ppl are so talented. The horror element is present but still subtle without overtaking the experience which to me is perfection and exactly how horror feels the sweetest to me (sort of like, i like feeling it in my head rather in my face if that even makes sense). Then each level was interesting with new additions that made it different from the rest and exciting, and there was just the right amount of challenge where it tested you without pulling you from the immersion by having you stressing. And then the evolving plotline was so so good, I mean no spoilers obviously but every time text popped up i was so intrigued, the narration was so sparse yet so good. Then as i went on I began frowning at some of the things said, and then it all made sense by the last 2 levels in such a solid way --- so good.

and then that final end scene ? where we go back to the scanner??? aaahhh so goodd

Seriously im not the gaming type at all, I find myself like a zombie afterwards which is not it but if i can keep finding immersive and eerie games like this i might continue on this journey 😭 [i already found a few interesting ones but i have a mac and apparently i can go fuck myself with that]

ill just go cry now cause i'm in eternal THIRST for these sort of immersive subtle horror vibes and i found them with my very first games ever and im sooo happy like the experience was sososo good (shoutout to youtube too)

--

Guess can also say a word or two for Babbdi actually ; the atmosphere of this game is top notch. The buildings, the sounds, the sky and overall setting. Wonderful to be in. I wanted to get lost in it. Then I found the items/tools very useful and the creativity with which they can be used very interesting (too bad i persistently stuck with the pickaxe and ignored everything else) - I kind of wish there were some actual horror elements added in, which I know ppl get triggered when hearing that but!! I know the game is nOT a horror but it would done wonders for it!! Not saying add anyone chasing you , but some subtle creepy additions or undertones would have really bound the game up so well! Like that creepy shadow in the corner -- smth like that! Cause that was really good ! Anyways, for me atmosphere was the biggest thing in this game. The church area was so stunning I couldn't get enough of it. Other than that there were some parts that I didnt particularly enjoy , but it was nothing that put me off the game. It was honestly such a good first experience, I was so happy to have given it a shot.

Eskewcity's Top Ten Games of 2023

Hello!!! I've decided to compile a list of the best games I played this past year. As such, this list is not limited to only 2023 releases (in fact a majority of the games I played are several years old atp). Additionally, I only considered games that I had completed by year's end. This means that fantastic games such as Signalis and The Talos Principle 2 will not be included, though I still highly recommend them.

Finally, I will put my ranking under a read more for the sake of not clogging anyways dash. Hope you all had a good 2023 and maybe can find something that interests you mwah <3

10. Subway Midnight by Bubby Darkstar

Board the train! Run away from a weirdo! Solve some puzzles! Make friends with some ghosts! Try not to become a ghost yourself!

While I am not someone usually willing to gloss over a somewhat lackluster story for the sake of gorgeous visuals, I will give Subway Midnight an exception. Even with a game that largely takes place in a subway car, it was exceptional when it came to its visual design. It has a blend of a cartoonish style for the characters mixed with extremely realistic environments. The gameplay itself was also quite fun, if not tedious in multiple runs and I really enjoyed the variety of characters that players encounter.

9. Broken Reality by Dynamic Media Triad

A humorous adventure set in a 3D parody of the internet. Diverse puzzles, beautiful worlds, friends, experiences, upgrades and more, await those who 'log on'!

Depending on yourself, Broken Reality might either be a headache inducing cacophony of colors or a fun exploration game about the internet and the commercialization of products and each other. For myself, I choose to look at it from the latter perspective. I found the game to put quite humorous and I really enjoyed all the different worlds to explore. Much like Subway Midnight, I would not recommend it much on its story but I think the design and concept certainly carries where that lacks.

8. Hylics by Mason Lindroth

Hylics is a recreational program with light JRPG elements.

At its core, Hylics is a game with a pretty simple concept. Fight your way through the world with the end goal of defeating the big bad, Gibby, King of Moon. However past that, get ready for a confusing and abstract adventure. This accounts for several reasons. For one, the dialogue of Hylics consists of randomly generated sentences that feel almost coherent while maintaining a healthy amount of head scratching. The game was also created through claymation leading to characters and environments whose shapes twists and turn in perplexing patterns. While this may seem to take away from the experience, I found this not to be the case at all. In fact, I would say it enhanced my time playing greatly. I could not stop thinking about Hylics after I played it simply because its weird and purposely lacks focus which makes it all the more memorable.

7. Babbdi by Sirius & Léonard Lemaitre

BABBDI is a short, first person exploration experience with light narrative and platforming elements. Visit the town of BABBDI, a forsaken district in the outer ring of the megalopolis. Meet its inhabitants and discover how to escape.

In Babbdi, your goal is to leave Babbdi. You must search through the city to find a train ticket that can guarantee your escape. However, the ironic part of playing this game was that I did not rush to leave. While being a free-to-play game, it had an incredibly sizable area to explore. The game actively encourages the player to search every inch of city to find its secrets while also reminding the player that their goal is to eventually leave all of this behind. If you have an hour or so to spare and love games focused more on exploration than action, this is definitely one to check out!

6. Who's Lila? by Garage Heathen

A reverse-detective adventure, where you control your character's face

In Who's Lila, you play as a young man named Will who cannot properly control the expressions on his face. As the player, your job is to ensure that he reacts properly to the world around him. The game even starts with a tutorial on how to respond accordingly to a variety of situations. While a seemingly simple concept, this game is not as it may appear. In fact, and without giving much away, Who's Lila requires multiple playthroughs to order to begin to piece together what is truly going on.

5. Hypnospace Outlaw by Tendershoot

Greetings Enforcer, and thank you for enlisting in the Hypnospace Patrol Department! As the world falls into its slumber, Hypnospace becomes a bustling global village. These virtual streets aren't going to police themselves!

Taking place in 1999, Hypnospace Outlaw tasks you as a moderator for a new form of technology which allows users to surf the internet in their sleep. As the player, you're tasked with seeking out policy violations and handing out warnings and even banning users, if necessary. There is so much about this game I can say but I find going in blind is the best. I definitely found some frustrations which some of the puzzles and how obtuse their solutions were but its undeniably one of the most unique games I have ever played.

4. Return of the Obra Dinn by Lucas Pope

Return of the Obra Dinn is a first-person mystery adventure based on exploration and logical deduction.

In Return of the Obra Dinn, is a mystery game where you not only have to determine the fates of one person, but an entire ship's crew. Additionally, you have to determine the names of each individual based on existing records. By going in the past to witness the last moments of each individual, players can be able to slowly work out the mystery of the Obra Dinn. As someone who plays many puzzle games, I found this to be one of the most satisfying I've ever played. I also thought the game just looked gorgeous and was extremely fitting for the vibe it was going with.

3. Papers Please by Lucas Pope

Congratulations. The October labor lottery is complete. Your name was pulled. For immediate placement, report to the Ministry of Admission at Grestin Border Checkpoint. An apartment will be provided for you and your family in East Grestin. Expect a Class-8 dwelling.

As a border patrol officer, your job is determine the legitimacy of the documents that are brought to you by people wishing to enter the country of Arstotzka. This requires things such checking if their paperwork has expired, if they match their passport photo and if they have the necessary seals for entry. However, what if someone comes to the border fearing for their safety if they are denied, without the correct paperwork? Will you let them in, risking punishment for yourself or deny them, ensuring that you will able to provide for your family at home? Papers Please is a game that will continuously make you question your own ethics under a authoritarian regime. I found this game to be incredibly emotional and made me replay several days simply because I decided against my initial judgments. Certainly one of the most impactful games I played this year.

2. Presentable Liberty by Wertpol

You have been imprisoned without being told why. All you can hear day in day out is the faint ticking of a clock in your cell. That is, until the first of 5 fateful days begins.

Sometimes there are short indie games in the world that fundamentally change you and this is one of them for me. With that in mind, there is not much I want to say about Presentable Liberty since I find its best experienced blind. The short of it is you play as a prisoner as they receive letters from those on the outside. The gameplay is minimal since the player is stuck in their cell for the majority of the game but promise you when I say it does not much that action when its biggest strength comes from its writing. While this game had its short lived success on Youtube, I implore everyone out there to play it and see why I choose to rank it this high on the list.

1. Cry of Fear by Team Psykskallar

Cry of Fear is a psychological single-player and co-op horror game set in a deserted town filled with horrific creatures and nightmarish delusions. You play as a young man desperately searching for answers in the cold Scandinavian night, finding his way through the city as he slowly descends into madness.

Honestly, it's insane it took me so long to play this game especially when loving a piece of media that's a psychological horror featuring a depressed character wandering a city is kind of what I'm known for. However, I finally got around to it and I'm so glad I did. While not the most technically savvy game out there, it is incredible what Team Psykskallar managed to pull off while offering players the opportunity to experience the entire thing for free. Several times throughout playing Cry of Fear I couldn't stop thinking how much better it was than many of the games I've paid for. Like I said, its definitely not the most polished horror game out for sure but damn was I charmed. Even after I completed this game, I immediately had to restart so I could play with director's commentary as I was just that damn interested in learning about as much of this game's development as I could. And its because of how invested I got in playing this game but also its background, that I choose to make it my number 1 pick this year.

(fuck that train level though)

My Top 5 Free Games on Steam That Make My Brain Go Yippee

not my usual content but hey if I can't draw I can at least recommend some underrated gems. In no particular order,

1: Awkward Dimensions Redux

This game is admittedly not for everyone. It's all artistic and weird but I like it. You travel through various little dream worlds and explore. The soundtrack is also wicked. American Grandma my beloved.

2: Off-Peak

No words for this one. You just have to experience Off-Peak for yourself. All of Cosmo D's games are sick, but if you want a taster of the style before spending money on any of the sequels, give Off-Peak a go.

3: BABBDI

Exploration mixed with a healthy dose of 'what'. Depending on how much of a coward you are, you could consider BABBDI a horror game. I think the textures and dialogue are all AI-generated (do not quote me on this I'm just parroting what I read in YouTube comments), which lends to the. Interesting atmosphere. But you can tell it still had a lot of passion put into it.

4: Frame Of Mind

Odd little puzzle game. Everything is done in this art style of white and navy blue. I can't remember seeing anything of a different colour. Very trippy. Maybe don't play if you get motion sick.

5: Birdgut

puzzle-platformer, all hand-drawn. Harder than it looks. Fun but will also make you scream in pain if you're bad at it. I am bad at it.
