Whatcha all playing!
I played and rolled credits in animal well which was really fantastic. I am still looking for secrets! Also checked out caves of qud’s new UI update on the beta branch. It’s outstanding

Okay, just finished Chants of Sennaar. That was a lovely experience. Reminded me a bit of my time a few months ago with Jusant, along with a touch of Journey and Heaven’s Vault thrown in.
Had to laugh out loud when I ended up playing a fucking mechanical crank handle version of Flappy Bird. That was pretty entertaining.
One puzzle completely stumped me, but some kind soul on the Steam forums (!!) had a really good explanation without giving away the actual answer to the puzzle, which I always appreciate.
Anyway, highly recommend for anyone who likes puzzle games, environmental and organic storytelling, languages and written script, and just an examination of history, culture, and how (ideally) we can all connect if we just listen to one another and find shared interests (there’s a particular interest that almost every culture in the game shares, which is something a lot of people IRL bond over as well; I found it pretty interesting because it felt so… quintessentially human).
What to play next? No idea. I think I’m done with intense action games for a while, so might find something else relatively chill to play.
I played and enjoyed Chants of Sennaar and Jusant in the last few months. A recent standout game for me was Tunic. Check it out, it might suit you well as much as it did me. It has fighting but if you want you can enable easier combat or even “no fail mode” (invulnerability) from the menu. The game has a ton of hidden secrets and puzzles while being pretty and friendly to look at like the other two games. It is a great experience with or without the combat parts.
Hah, I was actually considering Tunic! But I’m also a little mentally burned out, so I think I need to be in a bit of a different headspace, otherwise I’m going to ignore some of the more interesting parts like the little secrets and slowly revealing the instruction manual and all that curiosity-rewarding stuff.
It’s definitely on my “to play relatively soon” list, though, and thanks for the suggestion!
