Unsanctioned Unofficial Game Pass Game Club voting thread for cycle starting 10/17/2022

Hello and thanks for your interest in the Unsanctioned Unofficial Game Pass Game Club. If you don't know what it is you can see more about the Game Club here. There is also where you can suggest games for future cycles, though this current vote will stay with the games listed below.

To vote in this thread simply list your top two choices with one labeled choice 1 and the other labeled choice 2. Choice 1 gets 3 points and choice 2 gets 1 point. The game with the highest point count wins. If there is a tie then I will break it, but I will not be voting otherwise.

You can vote even if you have not participated in the Game Club (and voting does not obligate you to participate but we ask that you not vote if you have no interest in participating) and you do not need to vote to participate in this or future cycles. You are also free to vote for games you are interested in and not participate if that game does not win, though it's more fun if people are willing to try games they may not be initially interested in.

Voting will close on October 17 when the next game will be announced. I will tabulate the votes then so you may change your vote at any time prior by editing your post. Please do not make multiple voting posts in this thread, though discussion is encouraged. You can feel free to campaign for the game you want to win and make arguments why it is the best choice.

Games for which there appears to be interest will remain on the list in subsequent weeks but may be cycled out if we reach a point where there are too many nominated game for orderly voting. Games removed from the list will remain eligible to be nominated for future cycles at which point they will be put back on the list.

NOMINATED GAMES:

Olija (Cinematic action platformer with a dark story and an equal mix of combat/platforming. Approx 4.5 hours long.)

Inside (Cinematic puzzle platformer by the studio that made Limbo. 3.5 hours long)

Coffee Talk (Visual novel set in a modern day fantasy setting where you own a coffee shop and talk to patrons like aliens and succubi. Some basic drink mixing elements. Approx 4 hours long.)

Immortality (Sam Barlow FMV game with supernatural horror elements. Approximately 6 hours long.)

Metal Hellsinger: (Heavy Metal inspired FPS game with some rhythm game elements. Approximately 4 hours long.)

You Suck at Parking (Vehicle obstacle racing game where the goal is to park. Approximately 9 hours long.)

Tinkyin (Pikmin style indie game. Approximately 6 hours long.)

Scorn (First person horror adventure with a lot of adult only content. Approximately 8 hours long.)

I am not going to vote (other than the tie breaker) because I like the selection process as is, but I would say that my preference is to do a horror game this time, since the last day will be October 31. I would classify both Inside and Immortality as horror, while Olija and Metal Hellsinger at least have horror elements. Of course if the decision is made to do something without horror elements like You Suck at Parking that's fine too.

If we’re going for spooky stuff, Scorn comes out this Friday. I googled how long it takes to beat, and it seems like it’s 6-8 hours. However, that game seems like one long content warning, so I would understand if it would alienate too many potential participants.

(Edited to reflect the response and not confuse things in tallying)

1. Scorn

2. Inside

@allthedinos: I will add Scorn to the list and I guess count your vote as 1. Scorn 2. Inside. I generally don't like to add games after voting has started but since you're the only voter so far it's fine, and Scorn is coming out before the 17th so seem like it should be eligible.

@bigsocrates: Thanks! I generally try not to nominate anything not currently out (and do it on the page devoted to proposing games), but Scorn seemed perfect for this cycle.

1) Scorn
