With the sheer amount of content on Steam, I'm surprised how much trouble I'm having finding a niche game to play for the weekend.
For some reason I got it stuck in my head that I'm in the mood for a modern Playstation 1-style first-person adventure/rpg. Something where I can chill, walk around and explore at my own pace with 90s-era Playstation 1 style graphics. But not party/grid based like Wizardry. More sandbox/exploration like Elder Scrolls.
Now there's a TON of FPS & Horror games that fit the bill. Dusk, Devil Daggers, Delver, Project Warlock, Teleglitch, Lost in Vivo, Helltown, Concluse, Paratopic, etc.
But boy am I having trouble nailing down something with the same lo-fi aesthetic but more chill and laid back.
There's some walking sims I already own like Eidolon and Proteus but they seem kinda aimless. I'm on the lookout for something with more direction.
I also own Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor, but I've tried and failed a couple times to get into that one. Not sure why, but it just never stuck.
Funny thing is the closest I've come so far is
Frontiers, which is EXACTLY what I'm looking for, but it's mechanically busted to hell and back and never got fixed.
So strange that I'm coming up completely short.
