I also hope this is good and that it comes to PC. I think the first VO in the trailer is that same as Shadowheart from BG3, which is a a big positive for me.

I guess this is the fourth game by this developer that Iā€™ve played, and Iā€™ve found them all intriguing. I like the sparkling environments in this one. I got a little lost in the writing at times, but maybe youā€™re supposed to.

tl;dr | theyā€™re ā€™ inspiring ā€™ ( not in the way that most pple say that, i just think theyā€™re sick )
dev like this give me hope that even MY ass will one day make something that me and like maybe 8 or 9 other pple will fuck with. iā€™ve been following alienmelon for a long time now. iā€™ve been supporting them quietly but unfortunately, i havenā€™t given myself the time to actually play them. i am always fucking typing up some shit. always talk talk talking. post post posting.

at least that hasnā€™t changed

Ok, this one has my attention

holy shit iā€™ve been WAITING for this!
took off my list awhile back because itā€™s so huge already
congrats to them

speaking of witchy games, thereā€™s a flavor for everyone!
iā€™ve been sitting on the idea of picking these up eventually:




check ta cha cha-check check it out

witchy life story | blk witches! doesnā€™t seem tropey. subculture, esp online is always so damn white while alt black people have existed and will continue to exist forever! seems cozy and cute in a way that prob will not appeal to the wider steam audience, but there are plenty of pple on steam who are NOT chuds.

venba | oh this game iā€™ve wanted for what feels like an eternity now, but this counts because cooking is witchery! about family and i hear it has clips of real people that run as cutscenes! such a sweet idea! and the FOOD LOOKS GREAT! i absorbed by osmosis that this has done pretty well already but i am p sure that itā€™s for good reason.

spirittea | i keep adding and removing this. ANOTHER japan based game? my weebin ass tho: COOL. you manage a teahouse of the spirits. not original but iā€™m not gonna hate anyone for liking miyazaki movies because thatā€™s me too. put it last because i think the games made by brown and black pple deserve more play, commentary, and attention!

the cosmic wheel sisterhood | started this sometime last year and put half my soul and spirit into creating DOPE cards. really neat concept for a game. kicked myself when i couldnā€™t afford the custom deck they put out. over and over sick shit, this game. 10,000% my shitā€¦

Iā€™ve cooled on them since I was a kid but Iā€™ve never even seen that baseball one so Iā€™m pretty interested to try it out.

Arc went out of their way to avoid Nintendo name licensing lawyers by instead doing a fresh localization of the original FC version of that game, Nekketsu High School Dodgeball Club - Soccer Story for the Double Dragon and Brawler Bundle, aka Kunio World Classics, a few years back on Switch/PS4. So I wouldnā€™t hold your breath for seeing the Nintendo-branded version from them any time soon.

Anyway this isnā€™t a FC/NES bundle, itā€™s SFC/Arcade.

Theyā€™ve gone all out on the Ico, Silent Hill, Demons Souls cross over here which is tired, but it looks nice enough.

Posting because I think the sound effects during combat are delicious.
