I love the art style of #signsOfTheSojourner, so I made a new little avatar for myself in that style ☺️

Oh, hey, I finally had the time and focus to play a game again. Not the Swedish point and click adventure I started playing back in October, but rather a deck building card game about conversation in a post-apocalyptic desert.

After a short tutorial, the game then tells you your mom is dead, so you and your best friend are taking over her store and it's your role to stock it up.

It's interesting, but it definitely won't gel with everyone. I save-scummed.

#Summary for November 2023 https://no-pe.netlify.app/2023-11-summary/

TL;DR:

– Planet of Lana is lovely;
– the conversation mechanic in Signs of the Sojourner is very clever;
– The Invincible is pretty straightforward;
– Dolphin Spirit: Ocean Mission is a fantasy.

For #GetThereGames I would also like to find articles, videos, etc. It won’t be the main focus, but you can’t just play the games all the time, you know! At least I can’t 😊

This one is not particularly groundbreaking, but it is still a valuable question: why are we still collecting coins? It also highlights some pretty good games.

Here are the first things you see after launching a new game: two short texts, and BIM, the main loop. I must insist, there is no explanation, no cinematic, just the game itself!
