The Station (Multi, XP'd on PC) Something has gone wrong on the Espial, a cloaked space station overlooking an inhabited planet. It's your job to figure out what the problem is and where the crew went before it's too late.
Recently acquired this 8 year old game for $1.50 in the summer Steam sale. This is a very short (2.5 hours to roll credits) walking sim puzzle game. Despite that short play time, it's got all the things you'd expect: locked doors, ID cards (bracelets, same diff), audio logs and text files, things to repair, etc.
The story is quite good, if not super deep. The voice acting is more than acceptable, it is flat here and there but also has plenty of emotional depth. The station is well realized esp for an older Unity game.
Controls.. this is where things got a bit wonky. It has controller support which is my preferred way to play most games(carpal is a bitch yo). However I ended up having to resort to Steam Input and remapping the controller and it still wasn't great. Last half of the game I gave up and went WASD.
I also noticed that my CPU was pushing hard, messed with the settings and turning on Vsync "fixed" it, or at least brought it down to a more reasonable level for what I would have thought was a "lighter" game, shrug.
Being that it is so short, it's kind of a bummer than the "twist" ending was telegraphed pretty early on, at least I saw through it fairly early. Despite that it was an enjoyable experience getting to that ending.
Overall I'd certainly recommend playing this, but given it's so short I would also suggest picking it up now or another Steam sale as the $15 reg price does feel a tad steep for a nearly decade old 3 hour long game, imo.

Otherwise I would have never gotten entangled in their ecosystem this much.

Now I own thousands of games on Steam, two old Steam Controllers, one new Steam Controller, and one Steam Link. I advise indie developers releasing their games on Steam.

"[deater] readily admits they’re a little behind on what’s new in gaming – only having just gotten around to Valve’s 2007 release of Portal. It’s a popular game, but [deater] didn’t want anyone to miss out on the fun – so set about porting Portal to the Apple II.

The port uses the “hires” mode of the Apple II for the flashy graphics that were state of the art around 1980 or so. It’s not a copy of the full game – only the first and last levels, combined with Jonathan Coulton’s now-classic ending theme, Still Alive. As is to be expected, it’s not a wild, fast paced gaming experience, but a cool use of BASIC to put together a fun tribute to a popular franchise."

The arcade from my childhood had turned almost entirely into a slot machine parlour.

Now, they've gotten rid of the slots and started bringing back some 80s and 90s coin-ops. Brilliant.

If they were to bring back Daytona USA, I'd already know exactly what to do. One phone call and just a single phrase: "Fancy a quick afternoon race?". And I’m sure that, even after 31 years, we'd find ourselves right out front at 16:30, our bikes chained to the nearest pole, getting hyped at the words "Gentlemen, start your engines!"

I went to the 5e Wild Beyond the Witchlight adventure book for my J monster. As I read more about the Jabberwock, it definitely qualified as a "boss" monster, so I designed it as such.

They're almost never seen in their entirety, inhabit primal forests, and no more than one has ever been seen at a time.

Went with a Minotaur for this one. Reading the description in 5e's Monster Manual, they're a little more demonic in origin than I thought, so I decided to emphasize that here.

Feel free to leave suggestions for fantasy monsters to draw next - they don't have to be alphabetical or any of that. If it seems enjoyable to do, I might just do it.
