It was a short game but it did more in 8 hours than I’ve seen some games cover in 60 and I’ve never felt that invested in wanting to make sure the protagonist is okay

Stray pulled off AAA quality on a tiny budget using something loved by a lot of people (cat protagonist) but it had a number of advantages, primarily you don’t need licensing fees for cats, the dev time was deep into “purely a labor of love” length, and I don’t think it came out near any releases of a superior direct competitor. Any adventure epic right now had to contend with FF16 and people still messing around with Tears of the Kingdom.

I take pride in Elon Musk thinking my existence is a slur.

I got Omori. It gives me very strong Earthbound vibes but also gets really dark a faster. So far I’m hooked.

As a redugee I don’t necessarily plan to spend much time bashing bc it’s a done deal, but I anticipate a lot. Personally I’d rather help the community grow instead of making it the community to bitch about another community.
