Finally, weekly thread on proper time!

Another busy week, only got a few hours in the week, an hour here, an hour there. Played a bit of Demon's Souls, a bit of Ghost of Tsushima and a bit of New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe.

In Mario, I have cleared Soda Jungle-5, but there is no way forward. Could it be because I haven't cleared the frozen area yet? There were two paths and I went to the sea/water path and ignored the frozen one. Now I have gone back to clear that. If that doesn't open the path forward either, will lookup the solution online.

What about all of you? What have you guys been playing?

Started Anonymous;Code!

The last VN I played from the "Science Adventure" series was Robotics;Notes DaSH which was a complete disaster and one of the worst VNs I've ever played.

Thankfully, this new entry is a huge improvement. The presentation is gorgeous, with nicely animated characters, tons of illustrations including some comic-book like sections and lots of cool interface details. Unlike most entries of the series the plot is action-packed and very fast paced, as it follows a hacker named Pollon and a mysterious girl called Momo as they try to solve a series of strange events.

There's also an interesting 4th-wall breaking mechanic, which is your main way of interacting with the game.

Minor spoiler, talks about the mechanic mentioned above

The idea of the character being able to use the same "Save & Load" screen as the player to go back to the past and change history is really unique.

That sounds like an interesting concept.

BTW the name sounds very familiar, is this a remake or sequel? Or did they have another game with similar name?

[–] Phelpssan 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's a new game from the "Science Adventure" franchise (aka the ";" games):

  • Chaos;Head

  • Robotics;Notes
  • Chaos;Child
  • Steins;Gate 0
  • Robotics;Notes DaSH
  • Anonymous;Code

Ah.

I looked it up, I think I was confusing it with Code: Realize.

[–] Phelpssan 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's also a VN, but a very different one. That's a romance+fantasy "otome" game (=aimed at a female audience).

I actually have that one in my backlog too. :D

Heh, would love to hear your review of that. 😀
