You should use HowLongToBeat.

You cannot compare those two. Yes, I enjoyed Her Story but I also realize and accept that it's hard to have less gameplay than you have in this game. All you do is type some search words based on what you saw or what you think might give you results. What I did like about Her Story though is the way they tell the story and how it can be interpreted in several different ways. So no, I would not recommend Her Story for people who want actual gameplay - only those who don't mind getting the story told in a completely different and unique kind of way. Which reminds me that one day I will have to play through "Portal" completely (old game don't know if you are familiar with it - but it's also just about story telling - without videos though, so much to read).

For everybody who liked Her Story this imo is still a good read.

Not all games on HLTB are well covered, and since Marko was answering questions on the game...

Thanks.

I played this a bit on my lunch break, and it was a great experience. I can't wait to work through the rest of it.

Btw: I just contacted the devs (obviously also the publishers in this case) and asked them to bring the free spin off "pipe dreams" to GOG as a free bonus as well. FIngers crossed that I will get a positive response.



Dat skitzo copy tho.

What? You're not a pervert if you're saving a person from alien ghost cops!

I keep bashing Gone Home (privileged trust fund babby leech invading the privacy of her family: the game) when the topic comes up, and I keep praising Tacoma (corporate drone salvage worker preserving the memories of other corporate drones: the game) which sold significantly less.

Simulacra sounds like it has its heart in the right place but wants to appeal to the creeps who made Gone Home a bestseller.

I don't hate this, I just wish we could get some of the missing indie games high up on the wishlist. (We are getting Dusk which is great and indie-esque at least)

Well, I would like to have a bit more sunshine here ... what I mean is that the one thing coming here does not necessarily have to do anything with another thing not arriving here.
I hate to ask, but why are the people that enjoyed Gone Home creeps? I don't think I am very creepy in any way but I liked Gone Home. As I said, I enjoy different kinds of narratives and interesting ways to tell storys. Was there much gameplay in it - no. Did the story touch me? I liked the 80 vibes (my youth) and also was a little bit touched in the end. So now I am a creep? Why?

I don't know if the responses here are more funny then sad but they are certainly predictable.

Rolls Eyes.... How about a game with No iCraps or lamedroids in them we get enough of that crap in day to day life already!

I agree. My post wasn't directed at anyone in particular.

I finished my playthough, I didn't hurry and it took me right around 5 hours. The puzzles are on the easy side, but that's not a bad thing.

Oh, but it does. Because the same """""curators""""" who think a horror-themed phone simulator is a perfect fit are the same """""curators""""" that refused two fine-looking upcoming oldskool point-n-clicks (Guard Duty and Detective Di) for being - YOU GUESSED IT! - too niche.

Quote from the Detective Di Kickstarter: Look, I get that people like themselves their VNs, their hidden object games and their horror-themed phone simulators. I don't mind. And I get that gog like themselves the mad cash that these products (presumably) bring in. But variety is the spice of life, so it would be nice if the """""curators""""" would accept some games that are more in line with the stuff they used lure their original audience here in the first place.
