Patiently waiting for Betrayal At Club Low to reach overwhelmingly positive... Cosmo D's next game Moves Of The Diamond Hand releases very very soon 😌

For a brief moment, I couldn't tell if this interview with Steve Powers was from 1998, or 2024...

Discovering new areas slowly and doing some bombings that don't involve invasion, terrorism, violation of UN Charter until I reach Hightown.

I didn’t know I needed 20+ hours of Majuular’s Ultima Retrospective videos in my life until I found and then watched every single one of them. Ultima VI and Underworld I+II videos are incredibly informative for any immersive sim fans out there. www.pcgamer.com/games/rpg/a-...

I must be stupid back in 2022. I thought I was supposed to find a key in later areas and then come back here and to the watchtower.

Now playing an immersive sim that 99% of the community have never heard of.

From now until January 5th any and all revenue made by the lowest discount ever on CORPUS EDAX will be donated to Palestine Children’s Relief Fund!

Annoyed one guy so much that he chose to leave Lady Boyle's party; Annoyed another guy so much that he told the guard to kick me out.

My eyes hallucinate, nose sneezes, mouth pukes, next thing you are gonna tell me my ears buzz (tinnitus)!

Brush Burial: Gutter World is late to the Steam Winter Sale because of the launch discount cooldown, but it's here and 20% off right now. Get it for $7.99 if you like tight space (sexy) combat and replayable assassination missions (to unlock outfits for imsim queer icon Fennel)!

ultima underworld is a ton of fun so far.. it has taken me too long to get this started and i feel so silly cuz i was mostly put off by the controls at first but after like 10 minutes of paying attention i have 0 issues with how it feels to play, i actually really like it

My wife yaps a lot about all the funny and cute things in the world, and I yap back with immersive sims (and funny cute things). It's a healthy relationship!

I met American McGee in Tokyo a few days ago, he’s super nice and chill and has a soothing voice. I drew this after I got home that day, love his madnificent wonderlandful games :)

Thief II designer, to Designer thief.

The fact that PC Gamer and Rick Lane ignore almost everything that's happening in the immersive sim scene is disingenuous and disturbing.

My top 5 most played games this year are on average 20 years old lol, also I got the imsim tag back after losing it last year (I blame Elden Ring) 😌

I have found a cute puzzle immersive sim, so have you! Fans of Tears of the Kingdom and Echoes of Wisdom would love this :)

Back to imsim posting on bluesky :)

Thief VR is pretty cool, though it has a totally different set of verbs and design principles compared to the OG Thiefs and other immersive sims. I don't think I'll continue playing after mission 2 but I recommend it if you're into this type of gameplay.

Immersive sims ✖ The Geoffies Awards 2025: - ONTOS, spiritual successor to SOMA, "immersive narrative with a tactile, systems-driven gameplay" - Divinity, "biggest most ambitious rpg yet" from Larian Studios - No Law, cyberpunk open-world FPS-RPG, "impactful gameplay" and "play your way"

I'm 125% more Sinnoware than before.

SS2: 25AR is priced at ¥159 in China, which is 47% higher than Valve's suggested price and even more expensive than the System Shock Remake?? This doesn’t make sense, could you please adjust it accordingly? Thank you! @pripyatbeast.bsky.social @larrynightdive.bsky.social @danielgrayshon.bsky.social

To add more fuel to the fire, I'll start labeling my favorite games as Nu-Dungeon Crawler, Trouble Shooter, Simulated Immersion Puzzler, and Post-Immersive Sim Revival.

I’ve started my Ctrl Alt Ego replay since yesterday. I still bloody love this game. This strict difficulty + no powers run is going to be awesome.

Fredo's Game-Os: I've been spending some time with CTRL ALT EGO lately, an indie immersive sim from 2022. This one is kind of a sleeper hit, made a lot of "hidden gem" lists and seems highly regarded by your "in the know" types. Spoiler alert: It is really good!

I saw transgender-related posts on Xiaohongshu from time to time, but yesterday, a trans woman in China got her gender changed from male to female on the ID card without any trouble compared to the soon-to-enter recession country on the other side of the globe. Weird times we're living in.

Riding the rails, or HEISTING the rails IF U WILL, in Rail Heist in #UFO50. This one is wild. Really cool but also kinda a mess, its turn based immsim stealth heist ambitions too much for the limited 6-button control scheme. Frustratingly trial and errory, but still... pretty dang cool.

"...there was a belief from a couple (of) possible partners that the series was 'too niche' at this stage... it became clear after a few meetings that publishers aren’t willing to take on the financial risk that comes with the Deus Ex franchise at the moment." insider-gaming.com/exclusive-ne...

Now is the time to play old games with outdated hardware because no one can afford new ones.

the price of Psycho Patrol R is only 0.5 Mario Karts. a great deal

Honestly it should have sold 100k so far. It doesn't play quite like any other immersive sim. Impeccable vibes, and boy howdy is your handler horny for corporate malfeasance. Just big into the whole concept of crimes. You want to make her happy, don't you?

Nintendo Switch 2 will have a dedicated C for Crouch button.

Deadeye Deepfake Simulacrum has sold 10.000 copies and is currently the highest-rated immersive sim on Steam! With the latest v0.9 update, DDS has completed the story content for v1.0 and has entered the final polish phase. store.steampowered.com/news/app/154...

The action roguelite immersive sim Eldritch gets a sequel, now available for wishlist on Steam!

I've met with a terrible fate by taking a volunteer job to moderate Peripeteia's Steam forum. I have to constantly remind myself that I'm here to help not to argue with anyone, also only check the forum every few days.

Binge watching four seasons of Silo and Severance sure is an experience.

Anyone excited to play the Spectra demo this summer?!

Psycho Patrol R is out! Had to do some quick and dirty fan art, definitely going to do something more finished once I put some hours in. Hope y'all dig it!!

Thief II: The Metal Age was released 25 years ago today. I played it once and barely remember it. I thought it was not without issues but a decent enough sequel. I then used it as a modding and fanfic platform for the next ten years. With it I explored my gender identity and got hired at Arkane.

Happy 25th anniversary to Thief II: The Metal Age, the last masterpiece from the legendary Looking Glass Studios. Artists: David Stoupakis (Original Box Art), Alexandru Negoiță (@dominuz.bsky.social), Jean-Luc Sabourin.

I finished Thief: Deadly Shadows today. The ending was awesome. Have a good rest, Garrett.

Psycho Patrol R takes the banner spot of r/ImmersiveSim until the end of April. It will be released on March 24, 2025, in Early Access.

Impossible + OSA, here I come!

This is a very *Ion Storm* thing.

Undecided about whether to get several imsim-adjacent indies (e.g. Abiotic Factor, Secret Agent Wizard Boy) or one AAA game like STALKER 2 or Kingdom Come II before the spring sale ends.

It’s my birthday today (March 19) 😌

Shalebridge Cradle lived up to its reputation, but the ways to ghost some areas were quite unexpected. Who would have thought to climb walls inside a building or walk backward behind those chairs?
