Unoriginal and Uncreative Oct 27, 2024

【Weekly Game Log: 2024-10-28】

Less radical experimentation this week, I spent a lot of time on a handful of games. It'll be another low energy post this week too. My enthusiasm for this project is waning, and I'm still not quite sure what to do with it post-cohost (Goblin.Band doesn't quite work as well as I'd hoped. It's fine, but slightly too cumbersome to format and include images). As per my original resolution, I'll see out the year at the very least.

I've returned to Quasimorph a lot over the last week. Which is a game about a sci-fi mercenary crew that sends its machine-printed clones on stand alone roguelike combat missions, and uses the proceeds in a space-trading/politics metagame. I "get" the game a lot better than I did at my first time I tried it, and have a decent run going. The writing is clever, and the premise is a good way to wrap actual roguelike gameplay in something slightly more forgiving. I find the meta game a bit simplistic though, and it takes way too much time and effort to get anything remotely near enough to start engaging in the trading aspect. Also there's a story thread that seems to just not happen if you do the wrong mission first?

Tetrachroma got a proper release this week. I haven't played much that wasn't in the demo. Which is fine, because that was fun anyway.

Trans Neuronica is a puzzle game about connecting nodes together with lines of wire without overlapping. Which sounds simple, but it's enough to create some compelling head-scratching puzzles. Unfortunately the game does not limit itself to this mechanic and complicates itself with others that make it less compelling. Most of these aren't too egregious, but the combination of a terrible tile-erasing system (it's extremely difficult to delete one square without deleting either the square next to it and/or the entire route) and boss battles that punish you for erasing tiles incorrectly, is a terrible one. Nearly enough to ruin an otherwise excellent puzzle game.

One of the two games that took most of my time this week is PARANORMASIGHT: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo. A supernatural-themed mystery adventure/visual novel set in 1980s Tokyo. The gameplay alternates between visual novel dialogue segments, and light adventure gameplay utilising 360 panoramas of the locations. The narrative parts of the game feature lightly-animated art of the characters talking over these backgrounds, in a way that is extremely effective and well-composed. It reminds me of the excellent Heavens Vault in this regard. Some of the puzzles utilise the mechanics of the game in strange and interesting ways. (Though I wish it would refrain from requiring changing settings in the options menu when this messes up the graphical configuration every time any settings are changed.)

The plot of PARANORMASIGHT: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo concerns a number of cursed individuals in the region of Honjo who gained a mysterious power to kill at midnight, and is told hour-by-hour by multiple protagonists with overlapping story branches (there's a story map you'll need to utilise to solve various puzzles). The central mystery of the game is compelling, the setting is well fleshed out with a lot of attention to detail, and the characters have a depth and character to them (even if they are incredibly dumb at times.)

The best game I played this week is definitely Wilmot Works It Out. Much like with their previous Wilmot's Warehouse, this game has stumbled onto some secret video game quintessence that allows simple gameplay to completely seize the players attention. In this game, you play as Wilmot who receives a weekly puzzle subscription in the mail from Sam The Postwoman (who provides an update on the story of her life), which you then open on the floor and immediately begin solving, before hanging the completed puzzle on the wall. The gimmick here is that there are extra pieces from other puzzles mixed in, that you have to set aside to solve later as more pieces arrive. While not as stressful or challenging as its predecessor, this game is still absolutely superb. I played the game over two nights, playing roughly 3 hours or so in a row each time.

I also played a bit more Webfishing. The game is still great, but not one that really needs revisiting too often.

All Games Played

Webfishing: GREAT (Notable)

Quasimorph: Good

Tetrachroma: GREAT

Trans Neuronica: Good

PARANORMASIGHT - The Seven Mysteries of Honjo: GREAT

Wilmot Works It Out: GREAT (Notable)

'Allo! I'm Lindberg, and I'm an author with about a decade of experience writing novels. I'm here because I love storytelling and treating games as if they were literature, and I hope to spread that fixation to you!
