Yep, you nailed it πŸ‘

It's always cool learning people's go-to karaoke songs, I DEFINITELY want to hear you singing this.

I was already annoyed when I heard there was no cross dressing for Pleakley, but now this? Everything I hear about this film gets worse.

Exciting! Can't wait to see it 😁

That's awesome, congratulations! πŸŽ‰It's well deserved, Pools is utterly fantastic.

I squeed out loud the first time I was able to go underwater, being able to freely swim without a breath meter is something I love seeing in games. And it was utilised so well to create even more weird and surreal places and secrets. Of course when there were diving boards I tried ALL OF THEM!

If anyone was curious or wanted a refresher, here's where I discussed it previously: anmanarrative.wordpress.com/2024/01/29/w...

Ah, but then it will be their secret too. Now their brain will retain it and thus the curse will spread.

It's part of your brain now, you can't escape it. Best thing you can do is accept it and try not to laugh out loud when it randomly pops up while you're out in public.

I'm gonna need some time to compose my thoughts properly as I'm still quite shaken (Anatomy level shaken) but for the moment I can say this is everything I hoped from the demo and more... MUCH more. store.steampowered.com/app/1627350/...

That's understandable and works for the character. He hated having makeup put on him in Child's Play 3, imagine if someone had stuffed him into a dress 🀣

I love how Freddy and Ghost face are just working it meanwhile Chucky looks so pissed off 🀣 Gorgeous art, love the neon look of the background ❀️

That's just rude. If they wanted the story to go a different way then fine (that's what fanfic is for) but saying it to you like that seems like a complaint that you haven't written a story catering exclusively to them, and frankly it feels like an insult to the work you've put into creating it.

Overall really fantastic little game. And apparently this is the dev's first full game which is incredibly impressive, all the more reasong why you should all go check out RoboCult (it's free to download so you have nothing to lose).

There was also a fair bit of interactivity in the gameplay, alongside the usual dialogue choices there were point and click moments and timed choices that do actually impact how the story turns out.
comment in response to post
Speaking of story that is also fantastic, the sheer number of dialogue options create a fair bit of replayability and it was great discovering each of the endings (ending 5 was the first one I got and still my favourite - you've got to play the game yourself if you want to figure out why).

The art is absolutely gorgeous, both it's design of our antagonist S.AI.VIOR and the setting in general work to bring the world to life wonderfully, even implementing the design into the story itself.
comment in response to post
You're welcome, I'm so excited to see how the full game turns out. You always write such wonderful stories 😊

I know I say this for every one of her games but please do go check out this out, I know for a fact that many of my mutuals appreciate media that depict mental health so effectively and I genuinely think this is one of the best that I've ever experienced.
comment in response to post
The art and characters are gorgeous as always, and once again I'm astounded at how much emotion comes through in such a short space of time. I felt almost like crying at times, and both endings hit hard in different ways.

I have a few small OCD tendencies so I felt some familiarity with Clover but I think this is the first time I've ever understood just how much this can impact a person's life. @arcadekitten.bsky.social stated this is a more personal game and she's created a very beautiful experience here.
comment in response to post
So yeah, a really short but cute and fun game and I love it. Another absolute banger from @arcadekitten.bsky.social that you should all go and play now. It's FREE so you really have no excuse, go do it! For the trash girls!

Also I am shipping him and Maggie so hard and nobody can stop me ❀️
comment in response to post
Zapper was a surprise considering his introduction, but ended up being really funny and charming in his own way. I loved learning more about him as the story went on.
comment in response to post
All of the characters are great as usual, it never ceases to amaze me how @arcadekitten.bsky.social is able to endear me to each games cast in such a short space of time. Pidge was a twist that I love to hate. And our fellow trash girls Rolo and Opaisley are just the cutest besties ever.
comment in response to post
Maggie. My trash queen. I would die for this fly, in the half an hour it took me to play this game she buzzed her way right into my heart. She's both very adorable and quite sassy, I laughed out loud at several lines from her. She's quickly pushed her way up as a top favourite character.

Oh damn, where will I get my ominous light tubes now? How am I supposed to light my creepy corridors?
comment in response to post
Go for it.

I've often found that a stylised art-style can help with suspension of disbelief. Because it's not pretending to be reality I can just accept it for what it is, allowing my brain to focus entirely on whatever story or atmosphere the visuals are trying to convey without getting distracted.
comment in response to post
Absolutely agree, I think that style hits a great balance between realistic and stylised that actually makes the graphics more timeless.
comment in response to post
Fingers crossed it's not too serious and you can get some treatment for it. Don't worry too much about being slow, just focus on your health.

Let me know when you pick it up, would love to hear your thoughts 😁

Thanks :D

Short, sweet and satisfying to finish. I could easily see myself playing again if I want a quick bit of fun horror. If you haven't played this game yet then please do, it's an absolute delight and I am so happy it exists.
