Yeah, but there's a certain narrative dissonance going on here.
It's a really clever premise. I'm a fan of the concept, but not so much the execution.

One could almost call it Dark Soulsian in it's approach to the action loops.

It' has similarities to ZombiU in it's usage of animation priority. This has to stop before we all go fucking insane.

do you even apostrophe?

I like this all ironically, but in a sort of unironic way.

I hate to say it, but I wish QL's would have a "narrated by" label on them. So we could avoid or look for QL teams that people enjoy.

Or just a tag that says "Vinny" or "Not Vinny". (Actually I like everybody but I have to show my love for my fellow paisano).

Xbox Live Indie is where I originally found Cthulhu Saves the World, one of my favorite games of all time, so to honor that, I will buy this there. Cause this looks like an AMAZING time.

Edit: I have purchased and played for a couple of hours. Time travel is NOT the weirdest thing in it by a longshot, and it has already surpassed my expectations.

I dug deep into this last night and had a blast! If there is a bear or spiders in the cave, how do you kill them? Can't shoot, so I end up running around till I get bored and eventually let my character get killed. Seasoned SAWA players, please help!

Hooray after years of enjoying the site, I have finally given something back. Let's get this game onto Steam! Go vote if you haven't.

Yeah, but there's a certain narrative dissonance going on here.
It's a really clever premise. I'm a fan of the concept, but not so much the execution.

One could almost call it Dark Soulsian in it's approach to the action loops.

It has similarities to ZombiU in it's usage of animation priority. This has to stop before we all go fucking insane.

The connective tissue between all the gameplay systems is interesting.

Oh snap, I didn't realize I already had this game from the Royale bundle it was in. I don't think it even got parsed when I got it, too focused on Shattered Horizon! But now I'm gonna go pull this back and see what happens!

Part of this game's charm is that it's endearing.

The design doc is clearly inspired by other games in the genre, weaving the fiction and the narrative to create a specific story thread.

Definitely bought this game and got an enjoyable couple of hours out of it. A lot of fun but not a ton of longevity.

Loved this silly little thing I'd never have know of without GB.

Shame the indie games never got on the backwards compat project. (especially as that would then bring mount your friends)
