I've been "playing" Blue Prince, by which I mean that I just spent an hour and a half filing all my Switch screenshots into thirty different folders. "clues solved", "clues unsolved", "items", "dates", each book in the library, other folders whose names would be spoilers if I listed them here...
It's pretty great. :D
I definitely recommend playing it on a computer instead of a console, though. Hard to use a notebook on the couch.
(thanks for the rec, @davidcelis !)
Blue Prince update: I'm starting a wiki to organize my clues
(yes, this is really enjoyable!)
It's kind of like, you know how Bioshock has all this history of the game world contained in artifacts? And you can analyze the artifacts or you could just read some online summaries?
I'm usually an online summary person but something about Blue Prince makes me want to figure out every bit of history by myself. :)
@mnemonica Yea! I admit that I like looking up 'spoilers' because I want to know if I'm on the right path and this game is very....divisive about that course of action.
(And that I process things weirdly, so I can't be sure I'm actually pulling the intended information from something at all times)
@Challis2070 yes, big same on the information processing side, for me.
I feel like this game could have been the kind where it maintains a scrapbook of clues for the user, but I'm actually glad it didn't. The pen-and-paper work is really satisfying for some reason!
