I’m really fucking tired of people praising Gameoverse as a “nostalgia piece.”
Newsflash; It was never intended to be a nostalgia piece. It’s a project that came from a very old script that never adjusted for modern standards, aside from getting more polished animation. The reason why it “handles” cliches from the 2000’s “so well” is because it was actually developed from that era. It’s not nostalgia, it’s just outdated.
In fact, calling Gameoverse a “nostalgia piece” is an insult to actual nostalgia pieces. Wanna see some REAL nostalgia pieces?
Nebula & Quasar: An upcoming 2000’s styled indie game, that is currently being advertised as fake lost media.
(Content warning- Bird miscarriage in Nebula & Quasar (PC) Opening Cutscene, jumpscare in the Nightfall OST, and some ad based videos contain flashing lights.)
Lacey’s Flash Games Series: A horror ARG that explores a fictional, obscure defunct flash games site for girls, with a horrifying secret hidden within.
(Content warning: Frightening imagery, gore, body horror, animal abuse, implied child sex abuse)
Murphy & Mitzi: An animated short series, following the misadventures of a cat boy and girl squirrel, in what looks to be a Cartoon Network series from the millennium.
(Content: None. It’s cute, wacky, and very nostalgic.)
If you guys know any other good, and better, nostalgia pieces, I’d like to hear your recommendations! ^_^
