If you’re looking for games with a visual aesthetic, you’re probably in the wrong place.

Hey guy’s, I’m searching for any Isekai type stories. I played the last wizard and loved it, but now I hunger for more. Help!

I’ve really enjoyed playing through Somme Trench multiple times, getting a bunch of different stories out of each playthrough. What really did it for me was the fact that all of my decisions don’t really alter the large-scale setting at all. Sure I can be promoted or demoted, save Perkin’s life, get a lieutenant colonel whisky… but none of it really impacts even a small section of the battle. The most I ever influence at a time is small firefights with a few enemies, and a lot of it still seems RNG-based too. I only realized recently how much I missed that in the games where it seems the whole universe can revolve around my actions.

What other games have you as just one regular person among a horde of others, where you have a minimal impact on the ending?

Hello, I have been a part of the community for a few years now but have been absent for a while due to personal issues. I would like some recommendations in games released in the past 2-3 years. I am looking for medieval /dark fantasy( The magincia universe, Infinity series,samurai of hyuga have been my favourites so far) games like these would be great. If this belongs in a different thread or place i ask the moderators to kindly move it there.

Hi! I’m looking for IFs that have comedic nature in it, preferably with funny or quipping choices mc can choose. Even better if it has sarcastic,witty or any comedic mc stat. And I really love the “tortured mc yet can still make the situation ironically funny” trope like apartment 502, the exile, fallen hero, and SoH, so any kind of IFs with that trope will be very appreciated.

So far, i’ve played:

  • apartment 502

  • my 2nd most favourite: samurai of hyuga series

  • the exile

  • don’t wake me up

  • fernweh saga

  • the comedy classics: tally ho, jolly good and midsummer night

  • mind blind

  • my all time favourite: fallen hero series

  • wayhaven series? (I forgot if mc can be funny or not but i liked F)

  • top villain (i can’t quite grasp this kind of comedy to be honest, it’s too cheesy for me)

  • i, the forgotten one

I really don’t mind WIPs as well as IFs in itch.

One Knight Stand (WIP) would be perfect for you. Fair warning, it does not skimp on the horror (although the “tortured MC finding the funny side” trope that you mentioned is satisfied and then some) and early bad ends (dead ends) are possible.

Ooh thank you! I don’t mind horrors as well. i’ll put it in my read list.

It’s been a while since I played it, but if I remember right Diabolical should fit. You’re playing as a supervillain and the tropes of the genre are turned up to 11.

Diabolical seems underrated but i’m going to give it a try since i can play as villain, also i might need more recommendation. If anyone could give me more titles, it doesn’t have to be the exact trope i mentioned as long as there’s comedic nature in it.

782

Project Hadea (on itch) fits the trope [Edit: the story itself is definitely not comedic but the MC has some pretty entertaining lines throughout] imo, mind the content warnings though

783

Ah yess i remember i have played that one too and i’m still waiting for the next update

And

These two. Very old Hosted Games’ titles. Back in the days when there are only 4 Choice Games (Broadsides, Dragon, Vampire, and Romance).

Thank you!

What says on the tin. Looking for WIPs or published games. Preferably inclusive. Genre could be romance, drama, comedy, etc. or combination.

Moved the above post to this thread - asking about games involving prison/jail/incarceration/correctional facilities.

Didn’t Werewolf 2 : Pack Mentality involved us undercover-ing in a prison?

In Life of a Mobster, PC is always sent to prison for three years (less if they get let out for good behavior), and a lot of stuff happens there (even though it’s a short segment of the game and not the main focus). There is also an ending in which PC is arrested and spends the rest of their life behind bars.

I don’t know if there is a game about being incarcerated and staying that way for the majority of the story, yet.

Thank you! I guess I’m specifically looking for games which the MC spends a chunk of their life in prison and we follow them navigating it, up until…idk they served their sentence, extended, or die[?]. Now that I remember, perhaps games like Heart of Battle?

Imprisoned. A very old Hosted Games.
