Wide Ocean Big Jacket

First played this in 2019 and loved it, and I was recently reminiscing about it with a friend so of course I had to play it again, and it truly continues to be one of my favorite games. It's the perfect length and pace to play in a single sitting and the characters and their dynamics with each other are so compelling that it's hard to put down after I finished it. Like, it really is exactly as long as it needs to be, but at the same time I would love to spend more time with these characters. Or at least Mord. Mord will forever be my spirit animal.
Also, they even included a chapter select if you want to go back to any of the scenes! I hadn't expected it since the game isn't super long, but it's really nice to have the option since there are some parts where you have different (minor) choices you can pick between.

What a little gem this game is. No traditional gameplay, so no action, no puzzles, et cetera. You spend the vast majority of your time just moving the characters around and reading dialogue. But the writing is huh-larious, and the cast of characters are all charming, with Mord sort of stealing the show. I've already played through it thrice, and will probably play it again every few years for the rest of my dang life.

Charming little gem of a game, or interactive narrative experience if you prefer. I'm quite fond of the minimalist creative direction, especially regarding the use of billboard illustrations to represent otherwise complex objects, which blend rather elegantly with the rest of the scenery.
It's not for everyone, alright, but it's quite nice altogether, and it scratches my comfy lo-fi indie itch. It has the kind of vibe that shows what the medium can be, I like it.
Dev note: I would have loved to see some Gustavson's noise on the font, with perhaps a bit of animation to give it an organic spin. See Ken Perlin's blog posts 16961 and 16991.

short n sweet little hour long game where you go camping with your chill relatives.

Got this game while on sale, and it's quite a good, short but sweet
The story is about the experiences of 4 characters going on a camping trip, Brad and Cloanne (married, has a lot of experience camping), and Mord and Ben (best friends who recently coupled with Mord's initiative, doesn't camp much)
In the game we take turns controlling the characters, and we can interact with the other characters or the environment, but what we can interact with is limited and can't be chosen, like when the option to interact is there, a pop up will show up, otherwise you can just roam around the environment but can't really do much, other than just seeing things for your own curiosity. Controls are mainly WSAD and E or spacebar
The story focuses on the conversations between the characters, mostly light hearted chatter, but there were a few topics that can be considered important but not mentioned deeply, like Ben maybe going through a divorced parent situation, Cloanne doesn't want a child but Brad maybe does, and how Mord is figuring out about coupling. The dialogues are well written, they seem natural like how a person would talk like in real life, and also reflects the character's personality well. I find the dialogues pretty funny, i kinda like Mord (eventhough i feel sometimes she's a bit rude to her uncle, but then again the uncle and aunt is pretty chill i guess; and she doesn't use public facilities properly lol ), but i find all the characters pretty likeable, except the mean teens (where are their tents btw??)
There are so many funny scenes, like mr. glowbones, cooking (or more like burning) the hotdog, the flashlight thing and the stick in the stone, and many others XD
In conclusion, i'd say this is good pick, short cozy game with funny dialogues, story is pretty linear, though you do have some choices in the game, which doesn't really affect the ending, just for your entertainment hahaahaaa glowbones placing spots are so funny i really can't

really cute small narrative experience. loved the writing and the music!

well that was cute
