A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I feel like that game literally changed my life in the 2 hours or whatever it took me to play it.

That game is so beautiful. It made me a better person.

I was absolutely entranced.

I saw so much praise for this game, which got me to buy. Then I genuinely felt like I played a different game than everybody else.

Not that I thought it was bad or anything, I just walked across the landscape for 2h15m and then haven't thought about it since.

The amazing part for me is running into a stranger and we have to communicate with the limited system in game. Outside of that it's a competent "walking simulator" with decent puzzles and great art. If that's not your thing I get it.

Wait that other person I saw was a real person and not an NPC?? 🤯

[–] falkerie71@sh.itjust.works 20 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yup. When the game ends, you will see a list of player IDs you've met during your journey

That's so wild. I met one person and I was just following them around to see where the "AI" was taking them. I thought it was very advanced for an older game 😅 I think I may not be the smartest

Don't feel too bad lol. It's structured to feel like a single player game, which they may have done a little too well. You aren't the only one to not realize.

It's such a beautiful game! I need to play it again.

Regular players are red, think if you meet someone in white, they 100% the game

[–] ratofkryll@sh.itjust.works 14 points 4 months ago

IIRC white means you got all the secret glyphs in one playthrough.

[–] tenacious_mucus@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 months ago

Nope. White are real people, too. You respawn white back at the beginning (i think you have the option to, so you could stay red as well) if you managed to find all the glyphs. Ive been the White Traveler lots of times.

I played with my friend over Discord and somehow we got matched with each other the first time, so we didn't get to play with strangers or anything. Still was fun though.
