Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L. Mencken

The other two: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/yet-another-studio-formed-of-disco-elysium-alumni-has-announced-a-cerebral-sci-fi-rpg-just-to-confuse-you

Quote

You have woken to the sound of multiple former Disco Elysium developers arguing inside your own skull. They are bickering about whose game is the true spiritual successor to the rockbottom detective RPG. Is it the unnamed project announced earlier today by new studio Longdue, involving some kind of "psychogeography mechanic"? Or is it this one, XXX Nightshift, a cerebral sci-fi RPG set in a posh polar hotel about a detective "solving gruesome murders, breaking sacred hearts, or just killing bloody time"? It's not for me to choose the dialogue option now appearing in your own brain. But I will say this: at least the one with the horny name has a trailer.

Longdue’s debut RPG explores the delicate interplay between the conscious and subconscious, the seen and unseen. Set in a world where choices ripple between the character’s psyche and environment, players will navigate a constantly shifting landscape, shaped by both internal and external forces.

The game introduces a groundbreaking ‘psychogeographic RPG’ mechanic, where every decision reshapes both the world and the characters that inhabit it. In this experience, the lines between the mind and the environment blur, colliding and transforming with each choice, leading players through an ever-evolving narrative landscape.

 

Sounds interesting, though I strongly dislike the sound design in the trailer.

The demo is available for download until whenever the developers take it down (until October 21?), but it runs without Steam. It crashed on me trice, then I found it too challenging to read the in-game text (the font is too small), so I can't exactly say that I've played it much.

Atlas Fallen is available on GOG with 50% discount (55% if you have an account there). It is from The Surge developers and the system requirements look reasonable, so I am quite interested in the game, but probably closer to the winter holidays.

If there is a lot of whining about "woke" and "DEI", it is likely a good game.

I got another likely masterpiece for you :)

I've never heard of it, but just because Awakening is in the title, doesn't mean it is 'woke'. :lol:

Based on the reviews, it sounds like the game is a technical mess. Nobody mentions DEI in the reviews. Hoonding's analysis is still correct. :p

That's literally the woke accusation for Capes:

The team includes a black guy and a girl with blue hair (her hair in fact is purple).

Now in all “seriousness”, it is listed in Sweet Baby Detected steam group, with Sweet Baby affiliated (namely the CEO) listed as a consultant for the title.

Could not care less about the DEI drama itself, just wanted to poke a little bit at Hoonding 😁

That is possibly the most cringe website I have ever seen. What a sad crusade. :rolleyes:

Daedalic actually made an SBI subforum in the Capes steam forum because of this crusade. Just in hopes to maybe give people who want to talk about the game a chance to do so.

Remedy News:
Lake House DLC for Alan Wake 2 comes out in a couple of days.

 

Remedy's coop shooter set in Control's universe FBC: Firebreakers got a trailer and a talky video. Ehhh, Remedy's gameplay doesn't have a history of holding up withouts its narrative, so I am doubtful if they can deliver a fun 3 person coop. But we will see - maybe there are folks are Remedy who welcomed doing something not burdened by narrative.

Heh, anyway. For me it is sometimes a redflag, because from my experience, if your marketing is to much focused on "woke" thematics (not talking exclusively about games now), that most likely means, your product does not have much substance to offer. The Steam Group page looks much better and is better handled, than this one, and thank to it, I have found few gems, like Capes, Eyiuden Chronicles and Shadow Gambit (thankfully not reading the forums 😄 ) . On the other hand, I have also found few games, which I should avoid at all costs 😛

I have to admit, despite I am considering myself pretty "woke" 😛 , I have issues, if the localization of games to English is to far away from the original, and being Eastern European, I still can't understand, why you folks in the US and UK are so obsessed with visible pixel "skin" and have absolutely no issues with pixel ultra violence in games 🤷‍♂️ I am playing lately a lot of Morktal Kombat 11, the game is fun, but sometimes I really feel disgusted by some of the deliberate graphic decisions by the team behind it... And looks like a lot of other people are feeling similar, as from the game statistics, the players are doing almost twice as many Friendships as Fatalities 🤷‍♂️

Let's face it, Khorne cares not about skin colour, gender or sexual orientation of who spills the blood or who's blood is spilled.

 

In the end, everyone will be corpse starch.
