#gamedec — Public Fediverse posts on home.social

Started playing #Gamedec. It's actually super fun, I thought it was going to be a bit broody and ploddy but instead it's got some really fun mechanics and the dialogue choices actually do have an impact. I'm not far into it (as far as I know) but I'm really enjoying what I've done so far.

Last week @britt mentioned Gamedec in passing, and I said I might move it up my #NewPlay list.

"I'll just play for 15min." Almost 2 hrs later I logged out, late to start work.

Gamedec feels part-RPG, part point-and-click adventure. A gorgeous isometric cyberpunk game, you play a game detective (thus "Gamedec"), investigating crimes inside games.

Much like yesterday's NewPlay, you can choose the gender of the protagonist, as well as a thumbnail history, and an initial skillset.

The game utilises a branching path narrative that closes off particular pathways, based on other choices, which increases its RePlayability (yeah, couldn't resist).

I think the closest I've played to it recently would be Disco Elysium, but I've not progressed as far through DE, so this might be an unfair comparison.

There are a couple of rough edges in-game. In spite of choosing your gender at the start of the game, the NPCs will occasionally misgender you, which can really break your concentration.

There's one NPC in-game that you can team up with, but his auto-follow pathing means he'll sometimes stand on top of the objective.

This just took a bit of the shine off, nevertheless I still rate Gamedec as:

4: Good

Continued playing Gamedec, I sorta 'solved' the 3rd case now... I have absolutely no idea where this'll lead to! The storyline's getting increasingly trippy and the 3rd case ended with a huge cliffhanger.

Now playing Gamedec (currently in Fanatical's Ripper bundle). So far I like it. Detective game in a Cyberpunk setting with nice graphics a la Shadowrun.
Was in the mood since I recently finished Detective Di which I also enjoyed although that one has pixel graphics, quite a contrast. ;)
