Tell Me Why, by the makers of Life is Strange, free for the remaining days in June (because Pride Month)

It would have been better to show some palette examples instead of listing the names. At first I thought you posted the same picture three times.

You'll have far more people with "breathing problems" if you don't do it. A mask is preferrable to a tube down your throat.

The only trackball I ever used made me bend my pointer and middle fingers upwards in an uncomfortable position. That was over twenty years ago, so I don't know if they changed since then. I blame the centerpiece, a really huge ball in red with black dots on it.

I gave up playing it. If you ever make another game please don't listen to elitists who want their games to be hard and think that giving hints is for losers.

Also, the inventory limit sucks. Oh, the solution to this puzzle might be item X you dropped all the way across town because you thought something else was more important to carry around? Too bad, slowly walk back there to grab it.

Thanks. As usual, this leads to my next problem

I have no clue how to enter the hideout. I think there are trashbags in the way or something

Just to make sure: Steam only, no itch.io or GoG or...?

In that case you might find this interesting:

I don't WANT to be creeped out.

The mummy of Rascar Capac in the Tintin comic The Seven Crystal Balls creeped me out. I went past certain pages really fast.

I can't decide if this feels wrong or not.

I have a rather weird example from an obscure game called Void and Meddler:

At one point you have to play a series of four notes on an organ. Problems as follows: The notes are heard in the background but somewhat masked by a constant hum. Also, the keys make completely different sounds from what you hear, but apparently people who know music can "translate" the stuff.

How does that fit here? The player character is a musician and expected to know such stuff. Who really has to know it, though, is the player, because neither is there any hint within the game, nor is it a small amount of keys so you could brute force it, but an almost full-size keyboard.

Educated guess: Since the developers are musicians first and game makers second, they forgot that not everybody shares their background or ear for sounds.

Jwalt, I'm getting 'video unavailable'.

The scorched earth method of saying "I am done with you".

For now you could use the "message age" setting and dial down the maximum quite a bit.

Some of the examples sound like cheesy fun, and it's interesting that they got formerly big-ish name actors.

artistically...
original ideas or creative ability....

The movies they rip off aren't exactly the pinnacle of that either. Pumping more money into something doesn't make it less stupid.

As a sidenote, these porn parodies, often called "this isn't (movie) XXX" are less prone to be mistaken, I guess. No idea how similar they are content-wise. Never seen one.

Well, BarbWire...

Your first post was over a year after you registered, and then there are month-long breaks, once for over a year yet again. I'm not saying this to attack you but for perspective.

What do you even want to have discussed more about games? Dissecting every last bit of released, or leaked (, or rumored) information won't help anyone. At least in my case that would be really tiring instead. I tend to stay away from hypes so I don't already feel like I have seen everything the moment the game comes out.

It is. This would have been clue #3:

It's not.

Same game, I swear. Also, the pixelation was not made by me but it's a filter that gets applied when your character wears nothing.
