Sounds like Ligotti

Hope it’s not a letdown this time

This is rather insane

In this case it’s more like “let me see it”

The question is whether we’ll have to pull for ourselves now

Oh, I didn’t think about FF, but I can see the resemblance🤔 The guy reminds me more of SMT tho

The girl is Belle, the female MC. It seems Phaethon is going to get a playable avatar and people are making Jojo jokes about it😂

Well, it does😂

I can’t give you a title because Balatro is the only one I know that fits your bill and you already mentioned it, but I think the concept of video game dark patterns is related to your post to some degree. So if anyone here isn’t familiar with the concept, might want to check it out

I’m gonna check those out then!🥰

Does mobile count? I rely on minireview.io for Android games (mostly to check controller support)

Any title that interests you. Like Final Fantasy, each title is standalone so you don’t have to play them in release order
