I made this post about narrative-driven games on LD 59 and you all sent me a ton of great games, thank you!

I had the pleasure of playing every single one and I’m back to report the results.

Nest, this is Pilgrim — a cute, engaging story about long-distance lovers with a really fun signal deciphering mechanics.

Pyre Lookout — a Disco Elysium (and I suspect Firewatch) inspired adventure that was both hilarious and charmingly bitter-sweet. (Also Scott is funny as hell and really moe in a pathetic way—love that for him)

SAVE OUR SOULS — fun, intriguing and with a nice twist! Has a ton of potential to make you laugh, surprise and even scare you.

Shroomice — super cute text adventure, which you can tell was made with love! The voice acting is also a nice touch hehe

Trace In The Either — a stylish and funny adventure. Can’t believe you guys made this in just 3 days — it’s incredible!!!

n 0 m i n a l — fantastic writing and a gripping story wrapped in fun puzzles, which beat my ass quite badly but made the texts into an anticipated reward.

I also wanted to note a few more narrative games I enjoyed a lot this LD!

The Dark Spots in Space — One of those games you can’t stop playing until you 100% it! A must play for all Sam Barlow enjoyers.

On Ivy Boulevard — A stylish mystery game with a very tight and engaging loop and amazing narrative. Had a lot of fun figuring this one out!

The Lighthouse — A cool Lovecraft inspired pixel art quest which reminded me of The Last Door.

Go check out these games guys!

I humbly offer you to check out our game as well! Go infiltrate a secret society in Vice Signalling and uncover a conspiracy against the Emperor… if you dare.

And once again: if you’ve made or loved playing other narrative games this LD, please share them in the comments! I’d love to play more if I’ve missed any entries <3

Have a great jam everyone!
