ghonst track
I am not joking when I say that the best game of 2023 is going to be Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective. There is a reason we dont shut the fuck up about the game. It is the most tightly written story ever put in a video game, which is unbelievable to experience.
Not only is it tightly written, the plot is excellent. Not only is it tight and excellent, it is supremely well paced. I beat the game in a 12 hour session when I was supposed to be studying for midterms in college. I only meant to take a look, but good God it sucks you in.
If you like ace attorney play this game
If you have never played ace attorney play this game
If you have never played a video game play this one
If you like puzzles play this game
If you like dogs play this game
There is no person who has finished ghost trick and said anything less than "that was a very good video game"
I truly deeply am begging everyone to play this fucking game
Get the HD release on switch, pirate the original DS release, I dont care, I just NEED people to see one of the greatest games ever played and truly see what a story told well in a game can be.
If you distilled Buzzfeed’s clickbait article titles to a formula, it’d be: “This (adjective) (noun) just (verb)ed this (adjective) (noun). What happens next will (verb) your (adjective)”
Guy who has only played Disco Elysium: I'm getting a lot of Disco Elysium vibes from this game.

PS
Seriously, though, Sissel said that traveling back 10 years "seemed to take forever" or something to that effect. I wonder if they talked at all. Or did they just sort of float there in silence?
real world analogues to concepts in de are so interesting to me. like, i think it’s fascinating to compare, say, the pale & climate change. it becomes easier to understand the resignation that most of the characters feel towards this enigmatic, world-destroying force. also, it’s really funny to put harry’s deranged dialogue into perspective. imagine being kim, & the guy with amnesia who you just met says stuff like:
“wait so, who is this ‘jesus christ’ guy? oh. uh huh. i think my ex wife was named christine. do you think there’s any relation?”
“so, this is a ‘car?’ i don’t think i know what that is. oh wait, like from nascar? i like nascar. ah. i see you’ve got a V8 cylinder formation here. nice.”
“just so you know, i think i might be the reincarnation of karl marx. real quick, by the way, what is money?”
