Vote to bring this game to GOG and help preserve it.29
ASA is a classic of Myst/Rhem type adventure games, but in a varied SF universe with complex and captivating rules. Little known, the Black Cube series of games nevertheless deserves the attention of fans of the genre: the challenges are as original as they are logical, and all of these games constitute a dazzling epic. Incredible thing that in addition ASA (and all the other games) was imagined and produced entirely by a single person: it is difficult to do more "independent".
Simply, it is a masterpiece! I played in the very moment that it was released and I'll never forget it!
I want this game on GOG because it deserves to be preserved and brought to the attention of all cognitive gamers.
ASA, a "Myst-like" in space, had not been accepted by GOG when it released and it is true that it is not perfect, but as the developer behind it, it always saddened me. It is an indie game made with love by one person, which never received a lot of exposure and is still quite unknown, yet had good reviews thanks to its unique environments, puzzles and the many hours of scifi exploration it provides. It is now considered a classic adventure game by many fans of the genre and I still wish it could be brought to more people here on GOG, along with the rest of the Black Cube series (Catyph, Myha, Boinihi...).
Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black WaterFatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water is a survival horror video game developed by Koei Tecmo and published by Nintendo for the Wii U. The fifth main entry in the Fatal Frame series, it was released in Japan in September 2014 and worldwide in October 2015. As with previous games in the series, players navigate areas filled with hostile ghosts which must be fought by taking photographs using the Camera Obscura, which is directly controlled using the Wii U gamepad. A post-endgame story featuring Ayane, a character from the company's Dead or Alive series, is also available featuring altered gameplay mechanics. The story, which is set on the fictional Hikami Mountain, focuses on three protagonists who are drawn into supernatural events revolving the area, including an ancient ritual to seal away Yomi, a malevolent force corrupting the surrounding spirits that is tied to the fate of the titular shrine maiden Ouse Kurosawa.
Planning for the game began in 2011, during the projection of the Wii remake of Crimson Butterfly. The game was first proposed by series co-creator Keisuke Kikuchi when he saw the Wii U hardware and the possibilities of the gamepad becoming the Camera Obscura. The game was a joint production effort between Koei Tecmo and Nintendo Software Planning & Development, with Kikuchi and fellow co-creator Makoto Shibata returning as to their respective posts of producer and director, together with staff from the previous series entry Mask of the Lunar Eclipse and developers new to the series. The cast went through several revisions during development, while the staff experimented with the capacities of the new hardware. As with previous games, it features a theme song by Tsuki Amano. Upon release, the game received critical acclaim for its use of the gamepad and dark atmosphere, while opinions were mixed on its story, portrayal of its female characters, and other aspects such as its pacing and controls.Action Horror Survival

The story revolves around a man named Doman, an exorcist who was summoned by one of the noblemen to investigate a cursed manor. His daughter Utsuki is out to search for him when he doesn't return, and her sister is charmed by demons inhabiting a mysterious castle, turning into a demon herself. A young girl named Sakuya, Doman's disciple, also ventures into the depths of the demonic world, to prove herself worthy of her master. Once the player completes Utsuki's and Sakuya's scenarios, they unlocks the third scenario where they experiences the story from the point of view of Doman himself.
The game is a mixture of third-person action and puzzle-solving. As in all survival horror games, your means of defense are limited and scarce. Unlike most games of the kind, physical attacks with weapons are not your only way to defend yourself against hordes of undead creatures. You can also learn and cast spells in the game, and even summon creatures (wolves, spiders, etc.) to fight at your side.Action Fantasy Horror Survival
