A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Oh shoot my partner and I started that and got a good way through and completely forgot about it! The writing is very good. I’ll re-ass that to my list!
Auto-correct or Freudian slip?
Either way, I've assed "re-ass" to my vocabulary list.
Oop, autocorrect! Hahaha
I just finished Echo and Arches last night and holy shit.
Echo is a bit odd with the pacing, the choices and a general vibe of "this was made up as they wrote it." It wasn't particularly scary, either. Meanwhile, Arches, knocks it out of the park. The main story is pretty scary, and then the "alternate reality" part makes for a good buddy cop type show premise with a horror twist to it; I wonder if the author plans to do more with that whole thing. I saw them post about how they really like writing Devon and Cameron, so I hope to see more of them in the future.
Now I'm about to start up The Smoke Room. Echo Project is awesome. Might as well also check out Adastra while mentioning them. Not horror, but emotionally harmful still. Lol
Well... Did you think the monsters were scary or Brian and Duke? Because Arches has less supernatural horror and more of the realistic kind, and with the whole romance between the main characters along with the themes of PTSD and trauma, the action sequences are so much more visceral and realistic.
