Man, don’t you miss the good old days of gaming? I've got an oldie but a goodie for you: a platformer that left a pretty noticable mark on the gaming world. It's pretty cathartic to just jump around and defeat enemies without having to worry about cutscenes that are like half an hour long to advance the plot. But don’t worry, if you’re a lorehead the characters still have plenty of background info for you to sink your teeth into! Also, did I mention that the soundtrack is full of instant classics and pushed the console’s capabilities to its limits?

Do unique takes on the Greek gods interest you? Loving homages to CRT-era television? Intense deconstruction of Catholicism? Road trips through apocalyptic settings? Doomed romance that could end in CANNIBALISM? If so, you’ll HAVE to check out [TITLE], a serialized multimedia story with an ensemble cast of diverse characters! (For those worried about hiatuses or cancellations, don’t worry– it has reached a conclusion!).
And while the government-defying found family is compelling, this story’s greatest strength is EASILY its worldbuilding. It’s solarpunk meets retrofuturism meets cottagecore with a dash of disco! The implications of the alternate history are thought-out in such detail that even the designs of postage stamps are considered. And of course, there’s still plenty of fantastical elements (for all of you romantasy lovers~)-- otherworldly storms and abandoned technologies of the past!
