Popup Dungeon

A strange being, referring to itself as “The Wizard,” has issued humanity a challenge in the form of this game. It is accompanied by a letter which reads:

To the able minds of Earth,

What I am is not important; what I do is important. I challenge beings in contests that play to their greatest strength, and now I’ve come for you.

Put down your wearisome weapons, cast off your boorish bodies, and draw humanity’s sharpest blade: creativity. Wield it against mine, if you dare.

You will learn that the difference between fact and fiction is the power to decide which is which. This power I freely grant to you, so that you may pit the mightiest heroes, the most powerful legends, or anything else you can wring from that skull-stuffing you call a brain against me. I await you atop my tower.

You may lose as often as you’ll tolerate. But worry not, I threaten no violence; however when I win – and I will win – your creativity shall be my trophy. Without it, humanity is surely doomed to a dim end. But no pressure… after all, it’s just a game.

The game is the second in the series of Tex Murphy mysteries; its immediate sequel is Under a Killing Moon (which featured the return of a character introduced here, Lowell Percival).

Yep, very hard. The achievement is under the other one though. Just ingame instead of LL it will say LLL. There are some changes but I don't think it makes combat that much harder, what it really does it make timefall destroy your cargo shell faster. TF won't damage the contents, unless it is a super storm.

I plan to do it on v. hard when I beat the game as you get to do w/e after you finish.

Excellent thread opener, as always!

This month will most likely be backlog games for me, as I just bought a "new" car (it's new to me!) and shouldn't spend much on games this month... if I can help myself. I'm sure I'll grab a bundle or ten...

Anyways, pretty excited for Horizon, Control if that releases this month, Chronicon final release, and still Death Stranding yet!

If anyone uses MS PowerToys, they added another cool feature: a screenwide color picker. Just press Win + Shift + C and you can get the popup that follows your cursor

Some great stuff coming this month! And what's probably no surprise to anyone I'm most likely there day one for nearly every co-op game. :face-with-stuck-out-tongue-and-winking-eye:

Great work as always lashman! Really appreciate you putting these together every month and I'm sorry I haven't been around much to say that the past couple months. :photoblobheart:

Finally starting to feel like myself again so hopefully I'll be around more often!

Great thread as always lashman! :photoblobheart:

Really looking forward to Tell Me Why. I played Life is Strange (+ BTS and 2) with my brother who came out as trans (FtM) a few weeks ago and we're planning on playing TMW together as well. We don't get to see each other in person often due to distance so this is a pretty special release for me.

We both really love LIS so we're really excited about this, especially since it hits so close to home. Hopefully, Dontnod can pull off another banger.

Getting to share games like that with someone you're close with is such a great experience. I hope that Tell Me Why delivers for you and your brother! :cat-heart-blob:

Now now, I need to control my spending this month. But don't worry, I have just discovered the funniest game on Steam: setting custom arts. It is so satisfying seeing that my library is well-organized!
