The fish cutting part was cool. I don't really remember the rest.

tbh, it has a baller title that immediately intrigues. I remember checking out the wikipedia page a long while back.

However, it's basically another Myst-type (or 7th Guest-type) game which really isn't my thing. And I'm pretty sure I learned it the game via either Steam or its presence in a Humble Bundle.

Loved Myst back in...95. 7th guest pissed me off to no end because of a chess puzzle late in the game. I had a perfectly valid solution well within the rules of the puzzle, that was obvious to me but the game refused to accept it. I literally had to photocopy the only solution the game would accept from the strategy guide at the Ferguson Library and take the printout home like a savage to get past it.

Like the second to last jack frost block puzzle in SMT:N or the last crate puzzle in Vagrant Story, even the official strategy guides had it wrong...

i beat 7th guest was easy and i'm dyslexic and never played chess so it wasn't that bad (feeeeling lonely)
now countdown had me since i wasn't great with roman numerals at the time ( good game though)

did you ever try ripper ( PC 1996) that came out the same time as 7th guest

That one and the swinging one were my favorite little stories in the game.

If you like walking simulators try The Vanishing of Ethan Carter next.

That was the best walking simulator.

I really liked that one

I just...I get and like what they were going for...but did anyone give a single flying frenchman's fuck about what would happen in the event of a house fire with so many sealed shut doors and isolated weirdos with hot plates and grills and crawling thru crawlspaces and jumping in trees and windows just to navigate the floor plan?

This family of weirdos deserves every misfortune that fell upon them for being well, isolated, alienated weirdos. How the fuck did any one of these oniontown/leatherface level basket cases find mates to continue this bloodline against all odds? How were any of these people "fuckable" by any metric to where generations had 3 progeny?

Cool story brosis, but like...weddings had non family guests...when the family had to climb over roofs and up trees and thru hallucination riddled spaces just to take a piss in the morning.

I think I saw maybe 2 bathrooms in this entire house, and you had to practically be a squirrel, psychic, or mouse to get to any of them. The only bathroom we saw in detail killed one of the psychics as an infant. One guy lived in a mine under the house on canned peaches for decades without so much as a hole in the ground to shit in. He mistook an incoming train for a sunrise, but under the circumstances, that's hardly surprising given how completely dysfunctional and fucked up this family is.

And there's absolutely no explanation for why this batshit hillbilly family is so fucked up other than "great grandma was mean".

And granny was a fucking moron for wandering out into a pre-tidal wave low tide knowing there had been an offshore earthquake.

Like what the fucking fuck?

Parts of it were cool, but taken as a whole there's no answers and no payoff. It was only a few hours, but like, they're hours of totally wasted time when all is said and done.

Fucking hell.
