Thank you all!

The mascots are living creatures. They were born from the Earth at the beginning of time. Coexisting with humans isn’t great as they are mostly seen as entertainment. Part of your job as an agency manager is to help them break the chains of expectations and chase their dreams. One mascot wants to build a surf shack, another wants to help convenience store workers unionise, and another is an ex-bike gang member who has become a priest to atone for his past crimes.

It is a big game that is (hopefully) equally stupid and sincere.

yesterday was the 1.0 release of Shadows Of Doubt, a procedural detective game with an astounding amount systems at play (a consistent little neighborhood of citizens with their own homes, the ability to add anything you find to the evidence board, being able to question anyone about specific people, shoe and fingerprint scanner…). I gave it a whirl and I was a bit overwhelmed, but the potential is massive. the voxels, which I am not normally a fan of, give it a sort of uncanny quality that really matches the noir mood.

Cool! TGM3 is one of my favorite games of all time (although I’ve only been able to play on a proper cabinet a few times).

I hope the above is reflected in the IC GOTY list would be a shame to overlook these games in favor of propping up a kind of bad AAA game again

now that i have access to play all these cool indie games, where do you all find out about them? i don’t have social media which i guess complicates things, but i could always lurk. i suppose i also could just keep using the fine IC forums as my source of news and wait for things to roll downstream.
