Video Game Art

Video games are not mere time killers. They are albums of sound, aesthetics, animation and narrative.

This community is in appreciation of that. Screenshots, fanart, animations, gameplay clips. It is all welcome here.

The one common thread should be an eye for the aesthetic. This is not a place to discuss mechanics or stats, but to show off simply the artistic, expressed through the video game medium.

  1. All rules of the parent instance apply. That is, sopuli.xyz
  2. Include the name of the game your post is associated with in the post title.
  3. If your post is fanart, include a link to the artist in post body, if you can. You may also ping @[email protected] to have it attempt to find the source for you, and provide it in a comment.
  4. MARK ANY TEXT SPOILERS, as for art, do not post content that outright spoils key moments of a games narrative. Content that can only be understood with the context of having played the game, is ok.
  5. No generative AI art.

Really the one game that I can genuinely say gave me chills. No stupid horror tropes, no jump scares, no limited saves to stress you out, just genuine atmosphere.

One little thing that maybe wasn't intended, but which gave me pause and just made me nervous: when I was running around the area, with some clones off screen, and an icon of an available clone popped up in the corner. The meaning = I just killed my clone by having it fall of a cliff to their death, which I didn't even witness, and the system is only casually letting me know by showing me this icon of a human being. It's just so weird to me.
