Underplayed

Ellie, your setup and color matching is perfect! 10/10. Glad you’re enjoying the game!

Photo of a cozy gaming desk setup, with two monitors. On one monitor is the video game Öoo. There are lights on the wall behind the monitor which are green and pink, matching the colour palette of the game.

I picked up Öoo this week after hearing a review on the @underplayedpod.bsky.social podcast and HOLY SHIT it’s good!

It’s the exact kind of clever, cosy puzzle-platformer I adore.

Highly recommended! And 20% off on Steam right now!

Also… the colours are to die for right?!

We didn't manifest Mega Man X9, but we manifested /something/.

So, we're learning more about our special power.:

1. If it's an indie game, we can manifest DLC and in some cases, a release date -- usually pretty quickly.

2. If it's non-indie, we can get /something/.

@underplayedpod.bsky.social and @myperfectconsole.bsky.social both released episodes on or related to Blue Prince this week, so I like to think this is a vaguely complimentary piece.

(Probably shouldn’t have cut the chat with @honeyboy.glassjury.com on Blue Prince but here we are I guess)
