Sometimes to deal with the difficulty of being alive, I need to believe there is a possibility that life is not real.

This software is a simulation, a database of games and narrations, a play, an instrument, a network, two forests, a pond, a conscious slice of pizza having an existential crisis, a chimeric alien reggae band and a modular experience you can send electronically to anywhere in the world. It might not be for everyone. But I made a comprehensive, 136 page guidebook. Click on "View the manual" on the right hand of the page to see it.

Everything revolves around a landscape stage called Polyp’s Pond. There are three protagonists: Smerga, Kaotoa and Skalitir. They are the smartest three remaining AI after a human apocalypse. They are building a machine to generate more living AI. They have computers you can play games on. They are being attacked by swamp creatures. They are sending absurd emails to nowhere and procrastinating and gossiping. You can inhabit the body of one of the Tulpas generated from a previous iteration of their machine and explore Polyp’s Pond. Or you can change the point of view and watch one of the protagonists go about its day of work. You can network computers together and have multiple views going at once. You can talk with other Tulpas and decide if they are AI or other humans who have joined the network. Leave the simulation running all day and see all the different things the protagonists do and make.

Also, the longest game title (at 395 characters) is: Summer-Colored High School ★ Adolescent Record – A Summer At School On An Island Where I Contemplate How The First Day After I Transferred, I Ran Into A Childhood Friend And Was Forced To Join The Journalism Club Where While My Days As A Paparazzi Kid With Great Scoops Made Me Rather Popular Among The Girls, But Strangely My Camera Is Full Of Panty Shots, And Where My Candid Romance Is Going.

It's an open-world jRPG on the Playstation 3+4.

Saturated Outer Space is a game that combines space flights and tactical turn-based squad battles. The world exploration, search of alien artifacts, gathering and development of a unique team as well as battles in space and on the ground are waiting for you.

You are a squad leader, working for the galactic commercial rescue service. It’s up to you to decide where to go and whose distress signal to take: you can protect the colonists’ ships from the attack of space cannibals or defend merchants from pirate raids, save the settlers’ colony from biological threat or neutralize the AI gone out of control, dig out the asteroids or travel to the limits known space to discover new galaxy mysteries.

It depends on you how the story will develop, who will be your customer and how exactly will the open sector of galaxy change. SOS is a familiar fantasy in a new form, it combines freedom of actions, an extensive plot, interstellar flights as well as ground tactical operations.

The combat system consists of two turn-based types of fights, one takes place between spaceships on the star clusters background and the second suggest the sensitive guidance of each squad unit. During the game you will have to make difficult choices: to control several ships in battle or to slip quietly on one assault spaceboat, to get through the intricate corridors to silently disarm the enemy or launch an attack head-on right from the start of a level.


At this stage alpha-version of project includes:
  • Three-dimensional environment in the Sci-Fi Style
  • Upgrading and development of squad members
  • Ability to assemble a fleet of spaceships
  • Turn-based tactical battles on ground and in space
  • Upgrading ships and customization of their appearance
  • Customization of team’s armor and weapons
  • Diverse factions with their own history, mission and features
  • Opponents combining different combat styles
  • Classes, skills, modules, properties, combinations, effects, ratings, and other elements of a tactical turn-based strategy!

  • Decide how to handle complex issues like corruption and magic diseases, miracles, and upgrades like runes or faith.

In the world of Hypnos, a wide continent scattered with huge fortresses and cities in ruins is yours to roam.

To reach victory, precision in your movements and observation of your enemies will be vital. Are you ready, Wanderer?

  • Constant progression: May it be by crushing enemies or discovering new areas, you'll have the possibility of making the Wanderer evolve. Will you choose to level up, buy new equipment or purchase more lore items to learn everything about Hypnos?
  • Choices and consequences: Each NPC follows their own trajectory, impacted by their encounters with you, as well as your actions. You'll have a direct influence over their personal quests, that can then end in good or bad ways.

Flashback is currently 50% off.
EDIT: Holy hell the italian subtitles are a mess, they don't make sense. I'm trying to change the language to english but apparently you can't. I'm tempted to refund because they used some crappy tier automatic translator and I can't understand what is going on in the game, the whole translation seems chinese to me, with some random words in and there.

From everything I have seen it's basically the same type of game as usual, just in first-person. So if you didn't like 1 or 4, you likely wouldn't like this one. I'm in the same boat as you. I've always WANTED to like the series, but just never could get into any of the games.

If you like Alien:Isolation or Dead Space - go with RE7. It's much different from the main entries in the series. I even consider you to buy the remake of RE2, just wait for discount.

Yeah,RE2 is still expensive and I have no emotional ties to the originals to buy it at that price just for nostalgia's sake.Are the RE7 dlc worth the time and money ?

Dead Space is basically RE4-6 with better controls, so I'm not sure how being like Dead Space makes RE7 different from the rest of the series? Genuinely asking because if it's different I might be interested as well.

It's more survival horror than action game. I mean the pace is much slower and uneasiness and feel of isolation. 5-6 are shooters with upbeat music in comparison.

Nostalgia? You don't buy games because they are good, you but them because of nostalgia?

Like I said I generally don't and more specifically since I have limited experience with the RE games I don't have any emotional connection to the originals,but there are people who are interested in buying a remake because they loved the original.

I'm just saying if he and I both dislike what RE is usually all about then RE7 would have to be very different to be appealing. It being roughly the same kind of survival horror game but in first-person doesn't really work, ya know? I watched a long gameplay clip last night and it definitely looks like the traditional RE experience but in first-person.

Do you know why Indiegala is so scummy with their prices? They are located in Italy as me, when I go to buy a bundle the price is in USD but the conversion is not only wrong, but they also add an extra fee on top of it, so if a bundle is 5$ it becomes 5.40€ for me. I wanted to get Finding Paradise but I'll just pass and purchase it on Steam instead when it's discounted.
