We're enemies now.I actually don't dislike the MI3 redesign, personally, but it's a funny meme.
Minotaur is an adventure game set in a new world called The Universe of Seven. Here’s what we hope you’ll love about it:
Story and characters
Minotaur’s story is mainly focused on nine characters who come to find themselves trapped in their apartment building. Nod’s route, which is fully available in this Early Access release, follows a synthet named Nod Pikes as he attempts to escape and come to terms with his past – with help (kind of) from his lovely sharp-tongued AI assistant Ollie. Just like the game overall, Nod’s route has multiple endings. We call them: wicked, sad, very sad, brutal and shocking. Take your pick! Update: the next route has been released! Join Mentor-15, a teacher android model, on her journey of self-discovery.
A couple more notes about the story:
- All remaining routes are being added to the game for free.
- It’s fully voiced over in English by a great cast.
Gameplay
Minotaur has point and click mechanics at its core, so we’re trying to make the process of pointing and clicking as engaging as possible. You’ll be solving many different puzzles, fighting ancient creatures, and even climbing lots of stairs. Hm… That last one sounded much better in our heads. It’s actually one of our favorite parts!
Graphics
We’re spending a lot of time on making the world of Minotaur feel alive and immersive, and we think that graphics and animations play a huge part in that. Check out our Early Access trailer – everything in it has been captured directly from the game.
Music
It’s good. Really. We’ve listened to thousands of tracks, and picked the best of them.
World
We often say Minotaur is a cyberpunk game, but that’s just us trying to sell it. In truth, its world is more of a science fantasy setting, and we’re obsessed with having it figured out down to the tiniest detail. Why else would we make a whole website dedicated to its lore?
Are you not convinced yet? Syl, and that was us at our best. How about trying out the demo then? We’re sure that the beginning of the story will pique your interest. And if you get stuck, feel free to use a spoiler-free walkthrough on our website.
Hope to see you soon in Nova DC! ♡![]()
Started The Great Ace Attorney Etcetera.
I am very, VERY impressed with how refined the options and customization is. Didn't expect that from a Japanese game (they're usually quite far behind in this regard). Complete keyboard rebind, keyboard shortcuts for everything, tons of graphical customization, spoken language selection, multiple save slots - everything. Excellent work.
Its got the usual Ace Attorney quirks and humour (which I really like), the usual slowness in getting to the point at the beginnings (LET ME PLAY GODDAMMIT - can't have a AA game without the usual excessive handholding and beating around the bush when you wanted to present your idea 30 minutes ago, I guess) and I'm pleased to see this time there's a log that you can go back to (I accidentaly skip text by mistake since I activated the "free skip" option because I always hated how slow text is in AA games).
The protagonist is... ok? I thought I would have liked him more, but I bloody hate how he darts his eyes left and right and how he raises his hand like a schoolboy. His friend is kind of smug/annoying. I might change my mind about this eventually, I just started it.
Animations are cool and all, but I still prefer 2D over this 3D which is a little cheap and low poly.
Also positively impressed how this time the judge is not a total piece of shit.Started The Great Ace Attorney Etcetera.

its not on steam is it on gog?
thanks looks kick ass bookmarked.It's not on GOG, but there's a blog called The Collection Chamber which is dedicated to getting old abandonware games up & running on modern machines, complete with easy to use installers. Basically a one man project that "GOG-ifiies" old games. You can get UFO there.
That's an action RPG though
It's awesome how well characterized his likeness. The pose from that picture hit different after I'd looked it up.Digging a litte into TGAA I've found a few funny things:

Speaking of him, I wonder if in Japanese his little four-words outbursts are actually haikus. Any idea about that?It's awesome how well characterized his likeness. The pose from that picture hit different after I'd looked it up.

Still haven’t played Syberia 3. Maybe I should just bite my tongue and play it. I guess the optimization never got better is what I hear.
The Forgotten City is a mystery adventure game of exploration and deduction, and a re-imagining of the critically acclaimed mod that won a national Writers’ Guild award and racked up over 3 million downloads.
Travel 2,000 years into the past and relive the final days of a cursed Roman city, where if one person sins, everyone dies. Combat is an option, but violence will only get you so far. Only by questioning an intertwined community of colourful characters, cleverly exploiting the time loop, and making difficult moral choices can you hope to solve this epic mystery. Here, your decisions matter. The fate of the city is in your hands.
- Explore an open-world ancient Roman city with historically authentic art, architecture, costumes and customs
- Investigate a gripping, non-linear mystery with multiple endings
- Become entwined in the lives of richly detailed, deeply interactive characters
- Grapple with moral dilemmas which have life-and-death consequences
- Play as whoever you want, by choosing your character’s gender, origin and backstory
- Solve problems with reason, charm, bribery, intimidation, violence, or by cleverly exploiting the time-loop
Enjoyed the mod?
If you liked the mod, you’re going to love the stand-alone game. We've taken the best elements of the mod, re-written the script, which is now more than twice the length of the original at 80,000+ words, and added plenty of exciting new twists, endings, and surprises. Walk the streets of a brand new city. Get to know re-imagined characters. Solve challenging new puzzles with new gameplay mechanics, and enjoy an all-new orchestral score and professional voice acting. This is the story we always wanted to tell, for you to enjoy all over again - and again.
The Forgotten City may have evolved from a mod for an action RPG, but like the mod, this game is in a totally different genre. It’s a mystery adventure game, developed by a core team of three people. If you don’t go into this expecting a Triple-A action RPG, you’ll have a much better time!

More gameplay for Stray from late last month, this video has gone pretty viral on different channels, but here it is in case you missed it. The game continues to look very good.Game Producer Swann talks about the world of Stray, as well as what to expect with gameplay and characters you'll come across as a cat. Coming early 2022 to PS5 and PS4. Lost, alone and separated from family, a stray cat must untangle an ancient mystery to escape a long-forgotten city. Stray is a third-person cat adventure game set amidst the detailed neon-lit alleys of a decaying cybercity and the murky environments of its seedy underbelly. Roam surroundings high and low, defend against unforeseen threats and solve the mysteries of this unwelcoming place inhabited by nothing but unassuming droids and dangerous creatures. See the world through the eyes of a stray and interact with the environment in playful ways. Be stealthy, nimble, silly, and sometimes as annoying as possible with the strange inhabitants of this foreign world. Along the way, the cat befriends a small flying drone, known only as B12. With the help of this newfound companion, the duo try to find a way out. Stray is developed by BlueTwelve Studio, a small team from south of France mostly made of cats and a handful of humans.
Beyond the Edge of Owlsgard was recently announced and looks like a very charming & polished. Always cool to see an old-school 9 verb game look this good.Beyond The Edge Of Owlsgard is an old-school point & click adventure game that is reminiscent of the animated movies and Saturday morning cartoons of decades gone by. While it is obviously inspired by the LucasArts and Sierra classics, it also strives to create its own style and identity by returning to the original “adventure” aspect of the genre. Aside from solving the obligatory inventory-based puzzles, this means a heavy focus on exploring mysterious lands, uncovering secrets and dealing with all kinds of dangers.
