RESIDENT LOVER - Headmistress Miranda

i think all miranda fans haven’t actually encountered a real life miranda before and once they do, i think it’ll change their perspective

Game project

ive been working on a funny game that includes a mix of resident evil n ddlc in a comedic and also serious way where you play as ethan winters but "kawaii" ethan that says "uwu ,owo etc etc" you have 4 opion of dates :

Mia , Chris, Leon and Karl

they all have different stories and sprites ,funny and detailed ones wich you can choos your route just like ddlc ,

this game idea wip was made out of fun with my bff @orenreo-reo where we made some funny comics about ethan being a anime girl

this game ended up a WIP that i work for my High school project

this game will always be worked on mostly the sprites and scripts ,if interested to give ideas or ask me questions about the characters and game ill be always happy to answer and im always online

if i dont respond fast its bcs of school or just bcs i forgot to answer or other personal reasons

Traveling the world and experiencing the breathtaking sights it has to offer is all well and good, but something in that little brain of yours is just itching to settle down again.

What better way is there than to take a blind trip to Romania to study at a school you've never even heard of? Really, what's the worst that could happen?

Join StalwartUrsa on Wednesday live over at Twitch for a college experience you'd absolutely die for! Be sure to check in with us for more Resident Lover streams!

If you told last year me that I would be reading smut for my theories I would have called you insane

[jurygarroth]

woahh you only started watching this year? how’d u get into aphmau if u dont mind me asking!

basically my twitter mutuals were streaming it in discord for nostalgia so I got curious and joined them

I actually experienced it through a twisted fucking cycle path watch order bc they were in the middle of season 1 when I jumped in, and I think we only backtracked to the start later, and I let them spoil a ton of things for me, but I thought it was such a charming storytelling medium to utilize and the character bonds were so easy to get invested in 😭 I feel sentimental now I love u MCD

[poorly-drawn-ace-attorney]

today: i think about pearl running all the way to court from kurain village a lot

"I need someone with entrepreneurial spirit to take the lead on forming a student union." Part 1 of the demo for Student Union has been uploaded!

[novustrad]

Downloaded the demo for Process of Elimination. I was having fun, game was going great... except I forgot to save regularly. And the fucking game crashed. And I lost over an hour of play.

But then I went and finally finished Howling Village: Echoes so that's something I guess

A Normal Lost Phone

by Dear Villagers

Genre: Adventure, Interactive Fiction, Puzzle

Pitch: Look through text messages, photos, and more on a lost phone to learn about its owner.

My expectations: I've heard of this! I don't expect to have my mind blown, but this series is fairly well regarded, right? Is "normal" meant to be ironic, like I'm about to stumble upon some horrific mystery, or is this going to be a contemplative look at the hints at the life of an ordinary individual captured on a piece of consumer electronics? I hope it's the latter.

Review:

Content warnings are important. They are an encouraging sign of social progress, and I hope we never move backwards. It is awesome that we live in an era where it is common to respect each other’s sensitivities. I hate content warnings.

I hate when a well-crafted, slowly unfolding story—a story where all the mysteries would fall into place if you just knew that one crucial piece of missing information—gives away the whole game before it’s even begun. A Normal Lost Phone presents an absorbing slice of life, written with a masterful grasp of nonlinear storytelling and keenly observed characters, but I was on the lookout for the thing before I’d clicked past the title screen.

A content warning was the right call. No one who might be hurt by said content deserves to be caught off guard. I wish I had a better solution, but I don’t. I mean, I’m being as vague as I can, but I’ve already told you there’s a thing.

A single, admirable, necessary sentence tainted my experience, but it did not ruin it. The call to empathy and understanding still resonates. This story’s strength is not in its ending but its telling. Highly recommended.

+ Invites you into the life of a stranger. Spins an absorbing, painful, small-scale yarn within the confines of a phone, where all the disconnected, seemingly disconnected puzzle pieces click into place as the context is revealed. + Dreary indie pop from a surprising number of artists. It's not enough music to cover the game's total playtime, and I never found an option to make the playlist automatically repeat, but I found my fingers tapping along to the tunes often enough that I didn't mind having to manually reset it.

– Content warning gives away major themes too soon. The seemingly incongruous details that should be intriguing fall flat if you've already predicted where the story's going. (A content warning was still the right call.) – While I like the idea of the handful of password-cracking puzzles, and even felt satisfied with some of them in execution, it's a drag when you know you've seen the answer somewhere and have to dig through dozens of messages to get what you need. – SPOILER! SPOILER! SPOILER! Are you playing a character? Are you playing as yourself? This question is left to your imagination, but whoever you are, there's no reason to believe you have any connection whatsoever to the phone's owner or any of the characters in the story. In order to progress, you must read personal message, send sensitive messages and even photographs—not as yourself, a stranger who picked up a stranger's phone, but as Sam, the phone's owner. It's incredibly invasive, and it serves no purpose except to satisfy your own curiosity. Now, if I could do the thing that I would realistically do in this situation (look for contact information and return the phone to its owner without invading anyone's privacy), we wouldn't have a game. I don't feel bad about playing a game in the way it was intended, but I do feel weird about it. It's a game about feeling empathy for a person who keeps secrets; a person who is right to keep those secrets; a person whose secrets should be respected. And the goal is simply to satisfy my own curiosity, no matter what violations that entails? Weird, weird choice.

KORE YOU ARE SUCH A GENIUS FOR THIS AND I WANT THIS TO BE A THING SO BAD

capcom are you listening, capcom? are you listening? capcom? are you listening, capcom? capcom are you listening? are you listening-

RE8 Lord DLC concept

GONNA EXPAND ON THIS BECAUSE I LOVE THIS IDEA!!!

So basically this is just an idea of how i'd make a DLC about the RE8 lords cuz lets be honest THEY DESERVED ONE. So in my concept, instead of playing as the lords you'd play as one of the people in their lives (whether significant or insignificant) and experience the lords in a different perspective. Some are actual characters in the RE8 lore based off of the files, and some are just ocs i made

[failbettergames]

any games you'd recommend? could be for any reason! (similarity to fallen london, you know the people who made it, you just think it's neat, etc.) besides your own, of course, I already own all of those :)

Yes, here's a list of all of the games we talked about in our newsletter last year:

Birth: an adventure puzzle game about constructing a creature from spare bones & organs.

Scarlet Hollow: an immersive, episodic horror-mystery.

Egypt: Old Kingdom: a strategy simulator of the Great Pyramids period.

The Past Within is a fun, eerie way to spend an hour with a friend.

The Pale Beyond: high stakes on the frozen wastes, Sunless Sea feelings. 

King of the Castle: medieval monarch party game.

Stray Gods: an urban fantasy, musical visual novel featuring the gods of Greek myth.

Vampire Survivors: so moreish.

Knotwords: extremely satisfying crossword-anagram-puzzle game.

The Banished Vault: so gorgeous it actually makes us a bit cross.

Astronaut the Best: an anarchic comedy about assembling a team of hapless astronauts. 

El Paso, Elsewhere: supernatural neo-noir shooter, in which you must destroy the villain you loved - even if it means dying yourself.

Thank Goodness You're Here: may be the only game that’s more British than the ones we make.

The Fabulous Fear Machine: pulpy horror narrative strategy.

WORLD OF HORROR: Junji Ito-adjacent roguelike.

Lies of P: tickles your Fromsoft fancy. 

The Lamplighters League: essentially 1930s supernatural XCOM 

Tails Noir (formerly known as Backbone): gorgeous, bleak, compelling and unsatisfying in equal measure. 

Mediterrea Inferno: a spicy story about finding yourself after isolation.

DotAGE: manage a village where the Village Elder has helpfully precise visions of the future.

Slay the Princess: the princess is very bad and you have to kill her. 

VR remake of The 7th Guest: very fun, silly and far less punishing than the original. 

Astrea: Six-sided Oracles: interesting dice-and-deckbuilding system. 

Return of the Obra Dinn: truly a modern classic.
