https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0TniR3Ghxc This game was a very particular sort of disturbing, the kind you'd find in a Roald Dahl story. You play as a child whose only source of entertainment (and survival) is burning all of his toys in a fireplace, gathering money from the burned toys (don't question it) and using that money to buy more toys and various objects to burn. The story comes in the form of letters sent by a neighbor child, who sends you presents and is also an arsonist. This is the type of simple gameplay that makes indie games so interesting. The lower budget often breeds creativity, and the act of burning things and seeing how they react in the fire is addicting. 116. Tacoma https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QrjsQaKG3c Still far from the last of these first-person exploration games. This one has a lot in common with Everybody's Gone to the Rapture, but with a handful of much-needed improvements. You're still wandering around an abandoned area trying to find out what happened, only this time it's a space station (which is frankly a more interesting environment). You still get the story from remnants of previous events, only now they're told by AI hologram recreations. The character design is disappointingly not-existent, given that they all appear as colored vague beings, but the game still does a decent job at making you care about them and their stories. 115. Cook, Serve, Delicious! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtsWILfZhxU Is Cook, Serve, Delicious! the best cooking game ever? Maybe not, but it's definitely in the discussion. The rate at which it throws things at you becomes insane as the game goes on, to the point that it seems almost impossible to make everyone happy... just like real food service! In fact, this probably feels closer to real food service than most other restaurant-running games manage to, and I know that because I was working at a Subway when this game came out. Some day I should go back and play the sequels. --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs ... Copied to Clipboard! |
