When your apartment is 93% bed.

So where's the gameplay?

There's no gameplay in visual novels.

 

[Hydro]

Judging by this intro video it tries to mimic DE in everything from artstyle to music, and most annoyingly in writing and VO yet it absolutely fails. This reeks of cashgrab.

Infinitron which citation do you need dumbass?

Infinitron which citation do you need dumbass?

Don't think you can conclude that it "absolutely fails" to live up to DE based on a single snippet of (highly abstract, dream-like) conversation.

FFS, you're supposed to change things a bit when you copy homework.

 

[frajaq]

Disco Elysium had more style than this

 

[Gahbreeil]

PoE II rip-off.

Is Kender the lead writer on this one?

Title is an interesting choice. Hopefully it won't get you in trouble with whoever owns the movie IP. Regardless, best of luck.

yh he is

 

[ColossusCimmerian]

This game should not be in the General section?

​

​

You’re a Patrol Op on a holiday weekend at World’s End Ski Resort, Mount Hope, Antarctica. But things are about to go sideways.​

​

Now you’re stranded at the off-season resort with unforgettable guests, wild parties, and mad secrets. The world of XXX NIGHTSHIFT is your oyster—crack it open with evolved role-playing systems.​

​

Features​

• Deep single-player role-playing with seismic choices. Powerful, finely tuned, innovative. It’s yours to decide how your story unfolds—and how it ends. Follow your truths or just slide on the surface of things.
• Volumetric: A fresh role-playing system that respects your time, trusts your intelligence, and plays along with your every choice. Play a true three-dimensional human being. Combine 20 Traces across four categories to shape your character in any way you desire.
• Find a partner in crime investigation or try flying solo. A unique companion dynamic provides you with many paths to solve the crimes. Engage in social climbing, soul digging, man-eating, and more, depending on your choices and luck.
• Maboul Kit: Tune your investigative mind to prepare for interrogations, confrontations, and seductions. Anticipate what’s coming and boost your chances. But mind the side effects—there’s always a price to pay.
• Dopamine Buffet: Rehearse your moves. Dance through crime scenes. Drift through parties. Or find pleasure in completing the simplest chores. Get better with every action you take.
• Marafet Calculator: Use Marafet calculations to alter your time and space. Go deep with insights and discover connections, but make sure you’ll be able to resurface.

Original Science Fiction Setting: The detective RPG XXX NIGHTSHIFT lands you in a luxury resort that shouldn’t exist, with people you shouldn’t know. In the endless polar night, amidst the orgies of politics, power, and poetry, something gruesome lies waiting.​

​

In 2086 CE, things really can’t go much further south than World’s End, Antarctica. Have fun.​

What the fuck is this trash lmao

Does this game identify as an RPG? Oh okay then

 

[Rincewind]

I'm a sucker for dreamy atmospheres and the trailer has sparked my interest. I don't care if it's an RPG or not, it seems it will be an interesting experience, and I like it they're trying to do something different. It gives me some strong David Lynch vibes, which is always a good thing.

[TheDarkUrge]

This game should not be in the General section?

Western games made in the style of japanese games wind up in jrpg. Thus as VNs all discolikes should go there.

RPG set in Antarctica

from former Disco Elysium devs

 

[Harthwain]

I am not really impressed so far. The trailer is weak and I hope the skills' "pictures" are placeholders.

 

[IHaveHugeNick]

At this point even janitor from Disco Elysium has started a game dev studio.

You have to be kidding. Go and read a romance drama novel.

 

[Nortar]

More bullets than Disco Elysium -> it is a rpg and you can't do anything about it

Ten times more than zero is still zero.

 

[Fenix]

before all of the fiasco

What fiasco? I'm desperately out of the loop (and don't want to get back there except for DE knock-spin-spiritual-offs).
WTF happened in a few sentences?

As for me - I don't care about genre, game should GIVE something interesting, and MAYBE EVEN NEW.
If yes - then yes!
