[Life of the Party]

Lore

The rite was performed in the ancient times in the kingdom of Gulkishar that in the sealand. The planet Lunital (Moon) that affects the members of the royal family dies and at a certain point goes out. As a result the royal house lost their divine essence and power.

This power let to glimpse at the Aspects (Spirits) world, obtaining the energy to affect the real world through the magic.

The part of the royal subjects decided to go to extremes, establishing the “Devoted to the Power”.

The cult members performed an abominable rite to resurrect the planet, sacrificing the royal family. The planet has resurrected but simultaneously the dead crown prince was born. He marked the beginning of a “Dead Moon” era, affecting all residents of the kingdom with the curse.

The effect of the undead moon opened slightly the world of Aspects for all people. Earlier the real world formed the fulfillment of the aspect world (parts of the memories or deep emotions nourished the aspect world, creating the space (memories) and demons (deep emotions). After the rite the aspect world started to affect the real world and people.

The Purpose

The main purpose of the “Sigil” is to tell a dark story about the search for the goal for which the protagonist is ready (a player must be ready) to make evil deeds, inexpressibly wicked and sometimes loathsome things. The entire plot is the transition from one world picture to the other in order to see later that the same actions have different tints depending on the decisions of a player.

The main character is a lost heir-undead wandering at the sealand in the search of breaches to the world of Aspects. He tries to contact with the aspects (spirits) and get the forbidden knowledge, bringing it together to break a curse.

Steam: "This open world Sci-fi RPG doesn't look like anything else you've played in the past. As such we don't have much information on whether you'd like it or not."

Mirrorsoft returns, as another re-release label apparently.

DEVELOPER: Image Works
PUBLISHER: Mirrorsoft

Who's behind this? Throwback Entertainment, who probably acquired Mirrorsoft assets while buying Acclaim IPs, registered Mirrorsoft trademark in 2017. But Liquid Media Group bought 65 Acclaim titles from Throwback in 2018. Since Throwback has been doing (seemingly unsuccessfully) re-release business under its own name, I'd guess this Mirrorsoft thing is that Liquid Media Group's label.

Why is there a review of Doom's Sigil.wad on that page? Is this another one of those automated Steam "features"?

I guess you're using Augmented Steam extension.

 

[Morgoth]

Right. Never mind then.

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Well I'll be goddamned. That's surprising and cool to see.

Finally dug Fallout New Vegas Ultimate Edition out of the bargain bin over at Gamesplanet (DE)
https://de.gamesplanet.com/game/fallout-new-vegas-ultimate-edition-steam-key--1060-2

£2.38 with PayPal conversion.
A fair price for the third best Fallout game albeit a slightly retarded Gamebryo one.
Full version - not any censored German bullshit. You don't get the soundtrack DLC though =(
Appears to be a historical low.
Played some of it before of course and I know it's on GOG but I'd have to muck around with WINE plus it might get offered via GOG Connect again.
A bit cheaper than on the UK site for some reason?

Wonder if Pierre will change his mind?

This game has been delayed like 4 times so far this year alone. It's going to be an absolute shit show.
I can't wait to buy it.

Wat is this? Looks like an empty open world clunky fps #10123 from the trailer, or is it some hidden vapourware gem I just never heard about??

The Last Spell, They Are Hundreds but turn-based, by the developers of Dead In Vinland and Dead In Bermuda:

What if Final Fantasy Tactics & Dynasty Warriors had an illegitimate daughter?

The Last Spell is a turn-based tactical RPG immersed in roguelite mechanics in which you lead a team of hardened heroes to defend the last bastion of humanity against hordes of monsters.

A Dark Fantasy Tactical RPG with Rogue lite elements
This is the end. War and a bunch of crazy mages provoked The Cataclysm. A mysterious mist filled with hellish monsters enveloped most of the world. They said that those who entered the mist were killed, driven mad, or even turned into monstrous abonimations themselves. Only a few Havens keep up the fight against the Hordes of bloodthirsty monsters that come out at night from this strange purple mist.

Days were quiet and peaceful: they could take time to organize themselves, heal their wounds and search the surroundings for anything useful. But the nights… The mist thickened and from their bowels unleashes hordes of mutated monsters, craving for blood and magic.

In this glorious mix of pixel art and dark fantasy setting, you lead a group of hardened warriors whose only purpose in life is to desperately defend the last of the mages while they try to cast The Last Spell, and banish all magic from this world. And maybe save us all. Maybe.
