hey so if you like borderlands/want to play borderlands/don't have all of the bajillion dlc, there's a huge discount right now on steam as part of the 2K games sale.

if you own literally none of the games, the bundle costs less than a full-price copy of borderlands 3 which is frankly A Steal even if you're lukewarm on the series.

#it was like $19 for the 20-ish things (mostly dlc) that i didn't already have #borderlands #steam sale

recommendations of visual novels on sale for the steam winter sale 2023

steam's winter sale just started and will run for the next two weeks, so if you're looking for a new visual novel to try (or want to get into them), here's a lot that I've played that are on sale on steam.

umineko when they cry

the ushiromiya family returns to the family head's home on an isolated island for their annual conference with the intention of settling how his vast amount of wealth is divided. instead, though, a letter is left from someone claiming to be a "witch". with the ushiromiyas dropping left and right, the mystery behind everything remains to be solved.

I can't make a recommendation list without mentioning umineko. it's life changing. it might even trans your gender. it's hard to describe umineko, but just know that it's absolutely deserving of the "cult classic" tag.

notes:

kinetic/linear - no choices

VERY long

divided into two games on steam - Questions Arcs is the first 4 episodes and Answers Arcs is the last 4 episodes (8 episodes in total, play Questions Arcs first)

created by Ryukishi07, creator of Higurashi

fantasy mystery

ace attorney

follow phoenix wright as he embarks on his career as a lawyer to help people. meet a variety of clients and prove their innocence by collecting evidence, interviewing witnesses, and exposing lies in court.

ace attorney is one of the classic mystery visual novels, being a blend of point-and-click elements via investigations and visual novel storytelling. the steam port is a massive collection, combining the first 3 games (the original phoenix wright trilogy) as 1 game.

notes:

investigative gameplay segments, a good chunk of the story is point-and-click parts

VERY long for the whole trilogy- each game is around 20 hours long and the steam edition is 3 games

modern mystery with supernatural elements

ai: the somnium files

play as detective kaname date as he hunts down a serial killer using a cutting-edge technology which allows him to "psync" with a person, diving into the memories of others to solve crimes in a limited amount of time with the help of his AI assistant/eyeball Aiba.

aitsf is a lot. it's probably the raunchiest non-eroge game I've ever played and despite my low tolerance for dirty jokes I found most of it to be laughable and a fun experience, though I did play this with friends. if it's a miss for you, it's gonna miss you by a wide margin, but if it's a hit for you, you're going to be recommending it nonstop. either way you'll want to hit kaname date with a car.

notes:

long, around 25-35 hours

this game heavily relies on going back to prior choices via their branching menu to try other options in order to get the full story (and true ending). there are several endings to this game but you're meant to play through them all, not just one or two.

a lot of gameplay and interactive segments

sci-fi mystery

english voice acting

witch on the holy night

aoko aozaki is a highschooler who has to balance her class president, perfect grades life with her secret afterschool life of being a mage—a secret she has to keep at the risk of death. keeping this balance already isn’t easy but one day she gets a wrench thrown into it with the introduction of a transfer student, soujuurou shizuki, a country boy so out of touch that he’s never seen electricity before.

I love witch on the holy night so, so much. it's one of the most beautifully directed visual novels ever made with so much love and care put into each frame. the cast is wonderful (touko my beloved) and it's a must-read for anyone who likes modern-ish fantasy.

notes:

kinetic / linear - no choices

long, around 25-30 hours

originally written by kinoko nasu, one of the co-founders of type-moon and creators of fate/stay night. has some relation to tsukihime and garden of sinners but you don't need any knowledge of those going in

modern-ish (1980s) fantasy with lots of talking about magic

ghostpia

a snowy town filled with "ghosts" is where the young woman sayako finds herself trapped, feeling like she doesn't belong and wants to leave this town where no one dies.

it's hard to describe ghostpia. it's a surreal-ish story about "ghosts" where every character is quirkier than the last but every part is made with so much heart behind it. you never really know where the story is going, but unfortunately only 1 season is currently out on steam.

notes:

medium length, around 10 hours

very innovative and unique use of visuals and paneling

surreal-ish (sometimes violent) fantasy

please be happy

as a shapeshifting fox called a "gumiho", miho has traveled the world in search for a traveler who showed her kindness many years ago. afraid of sticking around in one place for too long, miho has never stayed anywhere for more than a few nights- but all of that changes when she arrives in wellington, new zealand and meets the barista/writer aspen and the vampire archivist juliet.

okay okay I had to recommend at least one visual novel I worked on. please be happy was a labor of love for our team that took over 3 years to make and is a slice of life story about love, trust, and what it means to be human.

notes:

medium to long, about 20 hours

2 romanceable ladies, aspen and juliet, and a plethora of side characters to meet via a map system

modern slice of life fantasy

english voice acting

WE KNOW THE DEVIL

find yourself back at summer camp with all the queer religious horror of it.

WE KNOW THE DEVIL is a short, atmospheric and slightly surreal story about 3 teens at a religious summer camp waiting for the devil. if you want something that feels familiar and otherworldly at the same time, this is right up your alley.

notes:

very short, about 2 hours

3 endings and 1 true ending

isolation, psychological horror

------------

this is just a handful of recommendations of visual novels I've played and enjoyed that are on sale right now on steam.

some of these titles, like please be happy and WE KNOW THE DEVIL, are also available on itch.io which is a website for indie games! they're also currently having a winter sale so a lot of indie visual novels are on sale over there too, if you want DRM-free versions of games while also giving a better revenue split to devs.

#visual novel #visual novels #visual novel game #game recommendations #game recs #I wanted to rec more indie stuff but the ones I like either aren't on sale or they're free or they're not on steam at all #so that'll be for another time... #also this didnt end up as giant as i was thinking it would be bc i didnt want to do multiple in a series like higu and dai gyakuten

Artyom (you've been telling me your thoughts, but please share with the class)

Artyom Metro, my beloved silly guy

He's just such a fascinating silent protagonist to me. He has so much character. He's also a rare flavor of Blorbo for me

Bonus doodle of his face based entirely on hc

#gopher rambles #ask game #character bingo #metro 2033 #heres a funny story. my dad got me metro exodus three years ago because he knows i love apocalypse fiction and it was on sale for 20$ #i played it for an hour. was deeply confused. and didnt pick it back up #a few weeks ago i saw metro 2033 on sale for 2$ on steam. went “hey ive heard thats a good game” and got it. binged it. #repeat for last light. it fucked severely. im playing exodus again finally and it also is a fantastic experience. #anyway artyom has started rotating in my brain because he has such a... gentle energy? #i wish the fandom were slightly bigger so i felt less like i was intruding on something tho #still need to read the book tho #not sure if ill read past 2033. but i also want to read Roadside Picnic since that has such a formative influence on eastern european #apocalypse fiction it seems (i know it influenced 2033 the book. and the stalker games. which in turn influenced 2033 the game)

In the wake of the Steam Autumn Sale, here's me holding up some games and telling you to buy them if you wanna have a grand ol' time.

MCC is DIRT cheap right now, Titanfall 2 is a must, DMC5 is less than 10 euros WITH Vergil's DLC, both Portal games can be bought for less than two euros, Every Valve Game Ever is less than 15€, and Every Doom Game Ever can be bought for under 30€. Eternal with TAG 1 & 2 is reasonably priced at the moment and 2016 is going for four euros, but I didn't grab a screenshot of those.

my final meeessage

Play Gaem

#logs #steam autumn sale #also all guilty gear games are quite cheap right now so if fighting games are a niche you'd like to give a shot without spending sixty #dollars on whichever tekken or street fighter or mortal combat is the one people are playing the most at the moment you can give these a go

[severalowls]

The Steam Deck is now cheaper than a Nintendo Switch in some places. And the Steam Deck can emulate anything with about an hour of setup!

#i got one like a year and a bit ago on sale but they're now just that price as standard #almost exclusively play emulated nintendo ds and n64 games and VNs but it also runs like. anything a mid-range gaming PC can run. #which is pretty damn impressive to me. it boggles me mind what you can get on that lil screen. #plus its also a handheld linux pc if you close steam (which is a built in feature) #anyway point is its nuts that its now the best value handheld console imo #(its probably the old model without the fancy new screen they released last year but like. you dont need that.) #i am playing 20 year old DS games they only have 3 polygons.

every time i put something new in the living room (more mood lighting, lamp with actual lampshade, rug, etc) im like “damn it really looks like someone lives here now” which is unfortunate bc phil is taking up way more than the entire fun money budget up until uhhh mid-spring. rugs will be last big purchase for a good minute. but phil is very good girl. goodnight phil

#what do you mean i have to finish projects i already have going #i do need another couch/chaise/big armchair situation for the office #and preferably a pair of wing chairs for the living room #but like. my beautiful daughter does not have every disease but is requiring a great number of vet visits #phil #can’t do steam autumn sale we are a wet food household now
