Whatcha Playin?

I’m still playing Clan Lord, which was written off decades ago as a dead game. It is still getting monthly updates that add things from volunteer GMs. the link is to the unofficial manual, and in the links page you can find resources for it.

We've made it through another week, and for many of us (in the states) there were days off! So… whatcha (been) playin!?

Happy weekend!

Just picked up Through the Fragmentation during the summer steam sale this year, and have only played a small amount so far today, but it's very... interesting so far. I added it to my wishlist a little while ago when looking around on Steam for unique games that are immersive and/or experiential in some way.

It's definitely got the "weird" factor so far, and I'm interested to uncover more of the main story and what's going on. So far, I've only finished one "playthrough".

Anyone else here played this before?

And, does anyone have any recommendations for similar games, or other games that might fill that "immersive, experiential, unique" niche? I'm sure there's a better definition or genre name for what I'm looking for. Some random games I've enjoyed that sort of fall into this category in my head are things like Firewatch, Before Your Eyes, and Outer Wilds. Almost like, games that pull you into the world, and make it feel like you're really there in some way?

If you're in the states, this will probably be a long weekend since Independence Day (starring Will Smith) is next Tuesday. So... whatcha playin!?
