I still use the term a lot because: - I believe my mutuals and followers are the core audience for it - I usually mention a game’s actual genre (stealth, fps-rpg, etc.) If I ever get hired to market an immersive sim (to general audiences), I’ll throw the term out of the window.

If you're based in NYC, don't forget that Warren Spector has a lecture at NYU Game Center on Thursday, everyone can go, reserve your ticket (few left) at Eventbrite.

Finished Odd Town. It was shorter and more linear than I expected, story is a bit cliche, gameplay is goofy enough to support 3-4 hours of fun. The town feels complex but doesn't go beyond a web of roads and shops, not much to explore. (1/2)

I'm dealing with generative AI on a daily basis, as a consumer, as a moderator, as an artist, the moral dilemma and the effort to detect, inquire, make decisions sometimes on other people’s behalf have really taken a toll on me.

Summer Eternal's first game, Red Rooster, combines "the best of cerebral, worldbuilding-rich RPGs with the genetics of physics-driven immersive sims". Summer Eternal is co-founded by former Disco Elysium writers Argo Tuulik and Dora Klindžić.

I think I've experienced everything Militsioner demo has to offer, though two achievements are unobtainable, and there are some minor problems: 1 - as a roguelite, you can lock yourself out of some dialog options for later runs, you can lose important single-use items if you die

and in terms of exploration, the closest comparison is probably Deathloop. If you loved finding hidden areas that Deathloop didn't tell you to and if you'd love to mess around an intricate town while playing hide-n-seek with or dating a sad giant, you're going to love Militsioner

2 - as a "dating simulator", it's too easy to manipulate the giant police's mood: give coffee -> he's energized to help you open areas, give spoiled food -> he's sad and floods the town, give flower -> he'll eventually fall in love; and his mood changes stall after fully upgraded

Militsioner, what a unique game.

Surprisingly, it's a roguelite. I’ve tried every escape route but barely scratched the surface of the demo’s content. Half of the map is still gated behind curiosity-driven exploration, day-and-night cycle, paid unlocks, or when the giant police is in a good/bad mood…

Militsioner Demo (Act 1) is out now on Steam!
