@AlohaGamester2 ай бұрын
@gazaalley3862 it's basically Stardew Valley, but playing the role of a grave yard keeper. It's your typical farm sim with similar concepts where you interact and develope relationships with the towns people but there's also a witch trial aspect where a group within the church is going after people they believe are witches and burning them at the stake. Your job is to rebuild the church collect bodies, prepare them for burial, and get points based on the quality of preparation. There is farming in the game, plenty to explore and do, a great soundtrack, a beautiful art style, and a fun story behind it all as well. Plus, there's a cpl DLCs out now as well. I'd say go for it if you enjoyed Stardew Valley. I really enjoyed my time playing it. (I bought the DLC but haven't taken the time to go back and play them simply because it seems I'm always playing catch up on my back log.)

I used to work in a L2 Games Design class; I can confirm pixel art is hard as balls, and designers will take what they like and think will fit together. At the end of the day, we will rarely ever see something that is entirely new without a technological wave happening first. So many games have catch mechanisms, or dice rolls (although graphic RNG is a Disco Elysium thing) etc etc. We will have to focus more on execution than concept at some point.

You keep bringing up what elements you think this game took from others, with an obviously dubious tone, but without bothering to mention or without realizing that those elements you mention aren't original or exclusive to those other games, either.

To be fair its harder these days to come up with a unique story that actually hits. It's easier to take what storylines you know are already a success, and try to make them your own.
