BillySmith, 1 month ago to techtakes in Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending Sunday 28 April 2024 @Dtl @dgerard @mii @cstross The game mechanics are similar to most tactical MMORPG's, but it's the quality of the storytelling that stands out. :D In the first section that you are sent to explore, the player is acting as an investigator/cleaner in an HP Lovecraft story. :D What is also interesting from the pov of gameplay, is that you can only make some of the choices once in the main story arc. :D Want to make different choices, you have to start again with a new character. :D
