and it was easily the most exciting and interesting and amazing experience i have had in gaming since i played outer wilds. which, let me be clear, is i think the highest praise i could possibly give.

if anyone else can see the throughline between those two games could give me some more recommendations i would really appreciate it! i'm thinking along the lines of "games that strongly reaffirm your belief that video games are art"

I enjoyed Incryption but I didn’t feel it was as surprising or creepy as The Hex or Pony Island. That said, I didn’t finish it.

spoiler_ I got as far as finishing what i believe to be all of the puzzles in the room and had only to beat the card game portion. From that point it didn’t seem like the plot and “character” portions of the cards were developing very much spoiler, but maybe I missed out on something? __

to answer your spoiler, yes you missed a lot.

I missed out on something?

Yeah, you definitely did. You've seen like less than a quarter of the game, and it gets crazy.

Okay noted, I’ll have to revisit it. Thanks for letting me know.

yeah, to drive home the point the other folks made, you basically missed uh... the game. o.o
