Weird RPGs.

Grim Tranquility, sci-fi roguelite RPG about colonizing alien world:

Circe's revenge, erotic RPG where you are turning into a pig by witch's curse:

(There are NSFW screenshots)

 

[Multi-headed Cow]

Fucking false advertising, you get turned into a man-pig. Here I am getting hard at the thought of turning into a mad rapist boar running around the countryside and I'm met with humanoid screenshots. Pathetic.

The best Diablo game is finally on Steam.

Denuvo nonsense

SMT fans, duh.

No idea about this game though. It looks like they're making remakes and adaptations of many PS3-era games.

I do hope that this thing is actually good, I've been itching for a revival of this style of survival horror what with all these other retro revivals around.
The last game that tried to sell itself as a classic, fixed-camera survival horror with modern visuals, Song of Horror, did nothing for me. This one at least features combat and resource management by the looks of it, so at least that's an improvement over Song of Horror's combo of QTEs and enemy avoidance.

I highly doubt this whole Steam section will ever get somewhere above the level of Silent Hill and Resident Evil fan-fiction. For example, her costume:

The first thing that comes to mind is this ("yeah, like her but make the skirt shorter, huehuehue, oh yeah, and boobs bigger"):

That kind of tells you what are the visual references of the person making this. The next obvious thing is this:

"Yeah, and Imma make a preacher and he's gonna tell shit about God and pray but fail because that's what Silent Hill is about." I wonder if the game creator ever opened Bible.

Gameplay-wise, sure, a copypaste of SH-style combat/camera, could be at least playable. Art assets look fine, too. But as for plot and writing, don't even hope.

Your meaningless shitalking starts to annoy me being neither fun or edgy, you have the PRIVILEGE to be the 4th user in my iggy bin

Thanks, decline-enabling asshole.
It may not be a privilege, but it's an honour, faggot.

Trigger warning: this is anime-style game set in girls-only school. You've been warned.

Spoiler

A short summary:

It's curious mix of a boardgame (the general gameplay), an RPG (characters with stats and their own agendas, dice rolls/difficulty checks) and a deduction game (a traitor mechanic, for one).

Now, I know what you're thinking: "Harthwain, how can you even think of playing something like this?!1101" and normally I would agree.

However, there aren't that many detective games on the market and there are even FEWER *actual* deduction games. What is here is a complex deduction game with many interesting aspects, so I am willing to stomach the "setting" and the art style. Especially when the price is at -65%, meaning it is fairly cheap. It looking a lot like a board game also helps.

Edit:

To my understanding the game has a lot of replayability value: each case has a "variant", rather than being a fixed scenario, your minions' skills are different, dice rolls are involved in the outcomes. This is huge for a game of deduction, because in most cases when you played once you have seen it all and there is little reason to play the game ever again.

 

[Zombra]

Haters can hate, but Black Closet is an excellent detective game. It's just a fact.

 

[Riskbreaker]

Black Closet is a very, erm, evocative tittle.

I'd rather play The Magister

Is it worth that?

 

[Wild Slop]

That's not an edgy question. For starters a common complaint I'm seeing so far in the reviews say the missions get overly repetitive.

 

[lukaszek]

its good, could have been great if they listened to played feedback and didnt implode

 

[Zombra]

Is it worth that?

Yeah. Wild Slop is correct that repetitiveness is its worst sin, but up to that point it's fun. Good for an evening or two.
