I really like games that have you messing with your system or incorporate things from the real world, like The Black Watchmen. Outcore is a free little game that does exactly that, and it's pretty fun so far.
Itch.io is littered with these visual novels. Some are great, some not so much. Since I've bought a few of their giant charity bundles over the years, my library has more than its fair share of them.
Rugrats: Adventures in Gameland came out of nowhere and released as a free weekly on Epic. I liked the show when I was a kid, and I like platformers, so I gave it a quick try.
The Fabulous Fear Machine has a really cool aesthetic, but it wasn't what I expected. I expected more of a narrative game with spooky occult stuff, and what I got was more of a board game.
Octopath Traveler II has been in my backlog for a long time after I picked it up absurdly cheap in an increasingly rare Gamestop sale. I was originally interested in the first game, but after reading that the second fixes many of its problems and has no connection story-wise, I decided to just hop...
I'm always on the lookout for new tycoon games. I grew up playing RollerCoaster Tycoon, and while OpenRCT scratches that itch, I haven't really found a substitute for Zoo Tycoon, another favorite. Let's Build a Zoo has been on my radar for a long time, and was recently on sale, so I picked it up.
My name's Mike, and this is the Lore Depository - my spot online where I can write out my thoughts on games, books, tech, movies, and anything else I find interesting.
My biggest project is my Game Library Project. I have a ton of games collected throughout the years, and have barely played any of them. Check out the linked post to learn more about the project, and click here to be taken to the category page where you can see all my posts for the project.
Another project I'm working on is my Pokemon Living Dex Challenge, where I try to obtain one of each available Pokemon and transfer them into Pokemon Home.
Yet another project I'm working on is my Old School RuneScape "Completionist" Quest, where I'm attempting to max out all skills and see everything the game has to offer as a completely new player.
