this is super random, but a game i’ve been waiting two years for randomly dropped today so i filmed a long play! it’ll be up tmrw evening on youtube, hope you tune in. bring a warm drink and all that <3
It's not a game, it's a 3-4 hour interactive "frisson" that turns music into a time machine. A lysergic mix of stop-motion and Spider-Verse, where every frame is a painting and every memory is a video clip.
Cassandra (the oppressed rebel), Slater (the struggling artist), and Stacey (our Ferris Bueller-esque guide).
Disclaimer: I am playing Saros right now, so this goes right into the backlog. I'll pick it up as soon as possibile.
Who will break our hearts and who will put them back together? (theory)
In my opinion, Stacey will tear our hearts apart. She's the one who already has one foot on the flight to New York; she's the one carrying the weight of farewell and the end of an era. But what will put it back together, piece by piece, will be the moments of pure "goofing around" with Slater and Cassandra. It will be their ability to be "normal" and united despite the looming future that will make us feel that, deep down, everything will be okay.
Team Freak (Silverchair): It's the raw energy, the rebellion, the moment when you throw toilet paper on the principal's house and feel invincible.
or
Team Atmosphere (Joy Division): It's the moment of "flight" over your 18 years, the pure melancholy, that beauty that hurts because you know it's ending.
If I had to choose… I'd choose Atmosphere. There's something magical about the idea of flying over school buses while Ian Curtis sings "Don't walk away in silence."
Trigger: End of Saros. Action: Insert the Mixtape and let it wash over you.
The Uncomfortable Corner: The "Manual" Kiss (spoilers!)
I found the scene in the X timeline.
Let's talk about it. The idea of the tongues you can manipulate is both brilliant and terrible. Imagine the scene: you're on a train or in a bar, completely focused on your Steam Deck, frantically moving the analog sticks to avoid misfiring, and suddenly... SPLAT. Your headphones fall out. The whole bar turns around and all they hear is 3D spatial suction and spitting sound effects.
Long live Mixtape, long live video games, long live music.
Stacey Rockford is a music connoisseur. Along with her fellow friends and teen delinquents Slater and Cassandra, she is enjoying the last of
If you love games like Life is Strange or Bloom and Rage you have to play this one! Been waiting an age for it and it surpassed even my high expectations (my review above)
