Is that actually postmodern at all? Or is it just a dadaist ripoff of the later Persona games?

The wonderful and terrible thing about “postmodern” is that it’s such a broad and easily misunderstood term that it both is and isn’t at the same time. Though chances are if you have to announce it’s a postmodern RPG, it probably actually isn’t.

Also the game is set at the tail end of 1999 (hence he Y2K pun in the title), yet everyone looks, acts, and talks like they’re straight out of 2018.

Edit: I looked it up on Wikipedia and it says they're looking for a viral video star who went missing. In the '90s.

Holy gently caress that was dog poo poo on every level. No boss fight should take 11 minutes to finish, and the fact that there's a minigame for every menu interaction is physically painful. The soundtrack is just awful too. Not only did I speed the video up to 2x speed just to get through it, I also muted it and threw on Rude Buster from Deltarune just so that I could listen to a competently scored indie game battle track. Sadly, it did nothing to improve the visuals.

Also please tell me that the rest of the game consists of the protagonist* just screaming "WILL SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON?!" in increasingly shriller tones while everyone else around him just ignores him.

Aaaagh. I am torn between wanting to see this game dissected with a chainsaw and never actually wanting to see another second of it ever again. Send help.

And it's the only song that isn't utter torture to listen to on the soundtrack, and I really hope he's able to put it to better use in Deltarune because aside from that opening bridge where he has to incorporate Yeek's garbo "main theme", it's a drat good track and would be right at home in one of his own games.

Not every LP is archived, only ones that people ask baldurk to archive go up. I'm not seeing anything on the Master List either, though that's also hit and miss because it's left up to goons themselves to update and goons are often :effort: on that sort of stuff.

🖨️🐯torn apart by idle hands

I'd like to see an informative SSLP of Cultist Simulator.

It's the sort of game where a lot of the mechanics are learned through experimentation rather than explained by the game, which would leave a lot of room for an LPer to reveal them at their own pace. The game also has a lot of flavor without being too descriptive, so there's plenty of room to write an overarching narrative around what's going on.

The game does have pretty uneven pacing, where you'll spend a minute or two waiting for timers to count down, and then multiple things will pop up at once. That lends itself more to screenshots than video.
