Gen Z/late millenials trying to interpret retro games they play on emulators with no manuals is the modern "people making extremely detailed marble statues because they don't realize Romans painted theirs".
That's how you end up with Blue Prince and Dark Souls and stuff.
Wait, Blue Prince isn't just a point-and-click adventure/escape room kinda game?
It is a mystery/puzzle/roguelike where you have to figure out what to do, how to do it, and even how the game works. You get a broad goal at the beginning, but you have to experiment, learn, and solve puzzles to progress. It basically requires that you take notes. It's brilliant
That's actually pretty awesome! I have it on my wishlist but it thought it was more like just an adventure/puzzle kinda thing.
