interactive story games

Immortality-more horror/mystery. you scrub through footage of a movie star and things get weird, fast. really unique storytelling, great acting. don't want to say anything else to avoid any spoilers! Return of the Obra Dinn-detective/puzzle. you move through time and memories on the once lost merchant ship Obra Dinn and uncover a wild and twisted story. super detailed, extremely addictive in my experience, really unique graphics. it's like an interactive comic book with the most satisfying reveals and discoveries. Honorable mentions: Strange Horticulture, Gris (all time fav platformer), Void Crew (more of a strategy game than a story game but fun to play with friends)

DEath's door

Cute, souls-like, 3D, isometric, action adventure game. One of my all time favourite games, and I can't believe that it was developed by just two guys in Manchester. They were inspired by dark souls and top-down Zelda games, combined with Studio Ghibli animation. I've attached a game play trailer. I don't really hear people talk about it much and I really think more people should play it! Its game-play feels really slick and satisfying and not clumky like some isometric sword combat games can be. It's challenging, but not sadistic (I tried to play Tunic which is similar and just gave up cause it was so punishing). I have already played it twice and I'm itching for another run through.

remember that it truly is all still ahead of you

Even if you end up having to go somewhere else, there still will be culture to get involved in, people to meet, things to learn, realizations to be made. All of that is still right there for you and it will be open in a way you won't even realize until you've done like a year or two. So it's truly still exciting times. As long as you feel generally good about the place you ultimately choose, your time is coming.

Completely missed this performance, just harpsichord and Bjork alone transforming a club song is crazy.
