just saw this witcher-inspired rpg on steam today
it looks like it outright takes a lot of stuff from the witcher but the way things are presented leaves me feeling like i can’t help but imagine it as being a good spiritual successor to Alpha Protocol as a game that is not technically polished or even mechanically so but willing to do interesting things with systems that already exists

It certainly seems Witcher-y but to be an AP successor they’d really have to go whole hog on the choices & consequences thing and I didn’t get that impression at all from that trailer.
Looks sort of like Beneath a Steel Sky: The Action RPG. Not really but I wish.
I’m always surprised when indie devs try to do something as big and unwieldy as a crpg
This is Spiders, right? Their track record is basically “we made that RPG you didn’t play, here’s another one.”
Though, I do own their other ones. One day I might play them!

I think this is a sequel in terms of taking place in the same universe as their previous game. Mars something.
I saw a demo of this a couple weeks ago and thought it looked very Bioware-ish, I think they’ve even said they drew inspiration from games like Mass Effect with the relationship-building aspects, except with maybe a more interesting setting/story. I liked what I heard of the setting and the general premise but I didn’t get the impression it will be very interesting.
I like that it’s trying something kind of different though!
I really like the locales they’ve shown so far.
I feel like this game might be the halfway point between Alpha Protocol and Mass Effect I didn’t know I wanted.
