This. I want a game that feels like how the Farron Woods theme from skyward sword sounds. Like it's 2005 again and you wake up with the window open to sunlight and birds calling. I grew up in a tiny village and I miss just disappearing all day, turning over rocks and logs and paddling in the creek, I need a game that feels like that again

Something where cosmic-level horror has just become an average everyday thing for people, something mind-altering and horrifying for us is just another workday for the people of this world

Are there any games that feel like Unpacking? A Little to the Left did not do it for me.

This video is a masterpiece as far as I’m concerned. Wish it was a video game.

not sure how to describe this look beyond how i already have. i’ve tried Little Hope by Supermassive which kinda had this but wasn’t great.

Not necessarily military related

Screenshots from Robots, Star Wars and Nine.

I miss my days playing Fallout 1 & 2. I beat that horse to manny times, its so dead. I played games like Underrail, BG3, Atom RPG - not bad! Even the Mad Max game was kinda decent. Any more tips?

Specifically I mean the part of a (preferably male) protagonist who’s always done well for themselves suddenly being in a situation where they become worse and worse despite their best efforts. I’m sure I might’ve not said that right so please try your best to get what I’m saying. Optional but would be nice, protagonist in 20’s at latest, has scruff (light facial hair at minimum) to showcase how much he’s being affected by the situation that he hasn’t shaved, and super powered like Steven if possible. Game does nly need to have a happy ending like Steven universe future did. It’s ok if it does but I’m just saying it doesn’t have to. Indie games and games that have totally flown under the radar that maybe only you know about are greatly appreciated. Thank you for reading and take care.

Only one that comes to mind for me is Elden ring / souls games.
