I don't know why people are being coy about its genre when the second line on the product page calls it a "critically-acclaimed psychological horror story" and the top line above the main description call sit "the #1 Psychological Horror Experience"

some devs get way too spoiler happy when their game has been out for a while, like playdeads INSIDE shows the finale of the game in the steam thumbnail now

yeah but they never showed that pre-release

they even cut a trailer for a GDC talk about that spoiler which doesn't actually show it

I mean it's always had the "This game is not suitable for children or those who are easily disturbed" warning. I guess you could misunderstand the meaning of that, particularly given the genre it's borrowing from, but I feel like the game's always been very upfront about being a horror game.

anyways play DDLC, it's a cool horror game. e: Actually it is probably worth mentioning that the game deals with suicide and self harm, if that subject matter is too much for some one.

RPGMaker was always paid software, it's just that older versions didn't get official translations, so the "free" versions you'd see circulating were :filez: copies with fan translations.

Clicking the "Add to Account" button on the store page gave me a "The link you followed does not appear to be a valid URL" error, but it added the game to my library regardless.

This is a repeat from a year or so back.
As a reminder, I installed FO1 and found it to be a few gigs in size.
It seems EGS installs all languages as a separate game folder.
I found no option to just do English.
I just deleted the extras and it worked fine.

What’s a few extra gigs between games

Uh, yes? Storage is not as cheap as you may believe for most of the world. Storage for the latest SSD standards even less so.

From my own experience, I only have the 1 TB in fast storage for the operating system + games. As games balloon in size, one has to juggle new installations by removing other games. It gets to a point that it's just not fun and you have to ask "why". And then Fallout 1 from the 90's now has a filesize counted in GBs and you realize it's over, this is the new norm, gently caress everything.

I'll stop caring about space when you start sending me bigger SSDs. As it is, I've only got 232gigs to work with. Currently sitting at a dire 23gigs free :ohdear: I should probably clean some poo poo out.
