The enemies are traitors, mutants, and members of secret societies (particularly Commies) - all offenses punishable by termination. Every player is, of course, all three. The quirk in tabletop was that all the players were usually members of different secret societies (or spies/double agents infiltrating said societies) and had secret objectives to try and execute in the course of assignments (stealing from and/or murdering other players were common enough). The assignments themselves would also have objectives that would be contradictory, obviously lethal for the Troubleshooters, and so on. Failure to complete objectives is punishable by termination.

I don't have a non-Bible win screen for quick reference but I do have my first Inlaid Library win where I only had the base weapon in the last few minutes of the run. I'll echo that I find the Library generally easier than Mad Forest - part of it is the tanky waves that show up in the forest (if you don't have good damage by werewolves it's usually a dead run), part of it is the more unbounded nature of the forest (library has a bit of y-axis scrolling but you don't really have fresh waves from above and below), part of it is the forest's treacherous patterns of "huge blobs of weak bats/ghosts do a fly-by" - they don't take much to kill but their danger is in shoving stronger enemies around when the screen's crowded so suddenly all those giant bats you've been weaving around are IN YOUR FACE. Library's biggest danger is possibly the suicide spirits, but you also have the benefit of a free exp crystal at the start and, if you wander enough, free items laying around.

Red Rox posted:I see that you can preorder the new Ninja Turtles game on Switch for $10 off but is there anywhere you can get the same deal on PC? Doesn’t have that offer on steam, and the only other PC preorders I can find are for physical copies.

Probably 6-7 days, the Switch discount is going until the 22nd (game launches the 16th), so I wouldn't be surprised if it's about the same on Steam.

If we're talking newly available old releases, Hardwar just went up on Steam today, as well. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1500540/Hardwar/ https://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/256916595/movie480_vp9.webm?t=1675273533 No reviews on Steam yet, average score from magazine reviews in 1998 through MobyRank puts it at around 73/100. It's an Elite/Privateer inspired game, has a bit of cult following. No idea exactly how well this release runs on a modern system, but it was surprising seeing it turn up out of the blue.

It's been brought up in various threads in Video Games but just heads up reminder here that Gravity Circuit finally released a few days ago. https://store.steampowered.com/app/858710/Gravity_Circuit/ https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/256955599/movie480_vp9.webm?t=1687965340 quote:Gravity Circuit is a flashy action packed 2D platformer in the spirit of console classics. Follow Kai, a lone operative war hero who harnesses the mysterious powers of the Gravity Circuit, on an adventure in a futuristic world inhabited by sentient robots. $16.99 US with a 10% launch discount, also on consoles. It's a love letter to the Mega Man series (classic, X, and Zero), though with its own quirks like a grappling hook and attacks largely being melee with the ability to grab and toss enemies and projectiles. I'm also friends with the lead developer so I'd love for it to do well for them, and thankfully it's seeming to be enjoyed on its own merits, too.

It's not the reason she is former, though. There's also the breast size joke that several weapons revolve around (Cutting Board, Flattening Board, and Absolute Wall are larger/deal more damage on the smaller chested characters while the Bounce Ball is larger for the bustier characters - note that this is mostly informed knowledge as far as the game goes), though that might not be as immediately apparent if one isn't already aware of the joke.

Tunic definitely has a cool language that's not a simple cipher, though it's not actually a central puzzle of the game. You only "need" to figure it out for one of the super secret treasures that has no bearing on the game's story or systems, as the provided hint is only in the game's language.

Play posted:Early Access. 98% positive out of over 500 reviews. Why are there 500 reviews for a tiny cheap game that apparently released 4 days ago? I have no loving clue. Maybe it's the cannibalism. Or the incest

This is more of a curiosity, but there aren't that many opportunities to say that a game originally from 1989 just got a brand new release on Steam in the past week. Star Fleet II - Krellan Commander Version 2.0 https://store.steampowered.com/app/1470940/STAR_FLEET_II__Krellan_Commander_Version_20/ https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/256977799/movie480_vp9.webm?t=1698424714 quote:Star Fleet II: Krellan Commander is a complex and detailed space war simulation. Starting with just a single Krellan battlecruiser, as you rise in the game's seven ranks (each rank has five missions), you'll gain more complexity, such as escorts, planetary invasions, and eventually full sector command. For further context, back in 2018, the original developer of the game decided to fix up and polish the game beyond its existing state (which had originally launched as a fairly buggy mess, which disappointed fans of Star Fleet I, and the original publisher went under soon after release through a hostile takeover), and after 5 years of playtesting and programming, it's officially out on Steam. It's very much still a 1989 MSDOS simulation game that expects you to read the manual, though, but hey there's some novelty in a 34-year old game getting active development, yeah?

There's also an extra bonus if you already owned Rabi-Ribi and Last Command, by completing the Bullet Hell Bundle you can get a 19% discount, taking it down to $24.29 US.

A note on Path of the Abyss: it's playable in English, but the script is purely machine translated. There's plans for a real translation later, but that's why the game's store page says "English language not supported".
