God its so fucking good. I’ve never played a story-heavy game and then wanted to immediately replay it. I’ve played through chapters 3 and 4 twice in the past month and I wanna replay it again already. Honestly if you haven’t played it, and you have any interest in story games, I recommend jumping in now. The release of chapters is such a fun and exciting time and I wouldn’t wanna miss future releases. Also if you don’t want to play, at least check out the OST because its without a doubt the best I’ve ever heard.
You might like Endless Empty. It’s kinda rough and the first real zone frankly looks pretty ugly, but overall it’s a really beautiful little indie RPG thing. It has my favorite premise for an RPG story:
cw suicide
A burnout rockstar shoots himself in the head, and you play as the last coherent fragment of his ego inside his dying brain trying to do . . . anything as the mindscape disintegrates. Your sidekick is a projection of the motor nerve for his right index finger, named Trigger, who feels bad about their participation in the suicide.
I was just thinking about it because they had an announcement for the upcoming related title recently. It’s definitely one of my favorite JRPGs along with OFF. Honestly there’s a slightly higher chance you’d like Nepenthe, because it’s more Undertale-like in both mechanics and tone.
