Game to Discuss?

Westerado: Doubled Barreled is this week's game. Originally a flash game, it fortunately escaped to Steam, which is fortunate, because it has an impressive degree of fidelity, considering the pixelslop aesthetic. In it, you are tasked with avenging your family blah blah blah, except the killer can be any one of the many NPCs who you otherwise interact with, with clues drip fed across it's (admittedly) brief length. Discuss below in the comments, and vote in the linked comment. It also appears that I forgot to post a vote for Call of Duty last week, you can find the vote for that in the pinned comment.

Just finished a second playthrough of Dread Delusion, which true !g*mers will recognize as rDrama's unanimous 2024 GOTY

(https://rdrama.net/post/328634/the-rdrama-game-of-the-year)

because there are achievements for completing it on hard mode and also for completing it without dying, so I banged both of those out at once.

I also did all the sidequests again, this time making the opposite choices that I did the first time, to see what is different. It was a RIDE. Pwyll collapsed in famine, Paeguth resurged thanks to my putting His essence atop the union council building in Hallowshire and he body horror genocides the humans, instead of subduing the Entombed One I helped her and midgame she fricking leveled the Castle of Ribs, I sabotaged the Clockwork King instead of helping Aphra or Sunil and the kingdom basically went to shit with everyone starving and being killed, and at the end I banished the Angel instead of merging which led to the more or less complete destruction of human society.

Fantastic game and the most photogenic thing I've seen since No Man's Sky.

It does not

In the last mission, the only homo gets killed and so do the two lead w*men

And this is the only trans character whose transness is buried under a million lines of optional reading:

https://i.rdrama.net/images/1735528282cafiZztjLHVkxg.webp

It has 6 iterations, one is trans and the King erases it from ever having existed (after denying it a magical s*x change; the King is narratively a force for Good btw), while the two surviving iterations turn into a monster and ruin the world, respectively.

now is this game schizo-kino or no?

As far as written-dialog-only games with deliberately late-90s/early-00s graphics go it's actually extremely well done from a kino perspective. Super engaging once you get into the world, if it clicks you always want to know more and more of the bizarre lore, the aesthetics are top tier retro nightmare shit. It's great schizokino and kino.

It won't be everyone's thing but I really cannot recommend Dread Delusion strongly enough.

Daggerfall always looked like shit. Even back then it was fricking ugly. I have no urge to go back to that.

How long does a playthrough take? With indies like this, it's hard to get a read on it. Either they're short because one guy made it and didn't have enough time to pad it out or they're crazy long because it was made by one guy and it was his sole obsession and entire life's work.

My first in which I did all but two three quests and voraciously explored the entire map, talked to everyone as much as possible, read every book and found probably ~80-90% of the secrets (glimmers of delusion, this is how you level up), decorated houses, learned to play, pimped my airship took around 25 hours almost to the minute.

Second time where I rushed everything and still did most of the quests (4-5 or so undone) while skipping all dialog that wasn't new was wrapped in about 12. But I knew what I was doing then and where everything was and avoided combat 90% of the time, just agilitymaxxed except a few points in str int cha and just sprinted everywhere.

Are there actual decisions you make that matter? Or is it like Zelda where the plot is the plot.

Yeah AS I SAID ABOVE and in the GOTY announcement, the choices matter quite a lot. Not a lot of realtime effects (it is a 64 bit indie) aside from huge differences in quest resolutions and dialogue and some cosmetic things (ie Castle of Ribs collapsing everyone inside dead, military camp appearing on Lord Rhydder's estate, people who die stay dead, etc) but it all feels very real if you're into the world. The ending has so many possible, wildly different variations too.
