An immersive sim that players of all ages can enjoy is super rare, I can’t wait to play it when I wake up in the morning, good night!

Some immersive sims and adjacent games at the Computer Worlds showcase by noclip_2: NEW GAME ANNOUNCEMENT World of Dogs Brush Burial: Bruiseland DEMO OUT TODAY Brush Burial: Bruiseland 500 Caliber Contractz RELEASE ON JUNE 17 goblinAmerica

100%'d The Magic Circle. It's half an immersive sim where you assign verbs to different minions to explore and solve problems, and half a fourth wall-breaking fever dream where the developers invite you on a sweat and tears behind-the-scenes tour.

Important new information from NO LAW, a cyberpunk immersive sim FPS (Edge #421): 🧵

I was expelled from the Party. "Every comrade saw you jumping there, it was embarrasing!", they said.

Beautiful risings gamers, Spectra demo is out RIGHT NOW

I have tried the playtest/demo for this System Shock-inspired puzzler FPS-RPG, it's pretty neat!

Today (March 3) is the Chinese Lantern Festival, which marks the end of the Chinese New Year. I pray for peace, harmony, prosperity, happiness for all.

Spectra

Death to imperialism.

Did you play any immersive sim demos at the Steam Next Fest? 1️⃣ Hark the Ghou: Kings Field-inspired action dungeon crawler 2️⃣ Rhell: semi-open-world adventure puzzler 3️⃣ Cralon: Ultima Underworld-inspired old school dungeon crawler 4️⃣ Blood Facsimile: surreal sci-fi shooter

Thick As Thieves (pvpve multiplayer stealth game by OtherSide Entertainment, Warren Spector, Greg LoPiccolo, and Paul Neurath) playtest invitations have been sent out!

ARC Raiders just killed its own Deus Ex "LAM Climbing" moments: - stacking traps to create a foothold to cancel fall damage ❌ - using explosion to turn fixed mine into a mobile nuke ❌ - building barricade contraption to send yourself up ❌

Learned this tech from other players, great feeling when it worked: - Trigger 'Nade (remote c4) gives the blast - Remote Raider Flare provides a non-fixed stand - Deadline (timed explosive mine) attaches to one side of the flare and gets blown away with it to kill boss ARC

Half of the things you can do with a grappling hook in ARC Raiders. I'm impressed as a singleplayer immersive sim enjoyer.

ARC Raiders might be the best multiplayer game I can recommend to singleplayer immersive sim enjoyers, better if you are the stealthy, pacifist, packrat, introvert type (like me).

Happy Spring Festival!🧧🎉🎆

My new year has come. Happy Chinese New Year! You met me at a very Chinese time in your life. 🐴

Do you know any more examples of mechanics like body morphing from Fable (absent from the reboot) and demon points from Phantom Pain? They are such interesting ways to show consequences of player actions.

Immersive sims are notoriously hard to describe or define, but amusingly easy to demonstrate

It's hard to find footage on the internet so I recorded my own. Prey is still my favorite immersive sim.

Reminds me of the good old Gloo Cannon ball + Huntress Boltcaster ricochet trick :)

Johnny I thought you had the key what the heck

Epic Mickey having immersive sim design in places that no one would notice 🙃 - Give 1 mask; steal it back, give again; give 3rd mask; owner doesn't notice - Give 2 masks; steal them back, give again; numbers don't match, two sets too obvious; owner gets mad - Give 3 masks

"Well, I'll eat it," said Alice, "and if it makes me grow larger, I can reach the key; and if it makes me grow smaller, I can creep under the door: so either way I'll get into the garden, and I don't care which happens!" Alice is ONE OF US immersive sim sickos.

What is the biggest challenge in creating narrative for an immersive sim? I asked Wolfeye writer Lucas Loredo through my friend Andy. He not only answered, but also went on to talk about Prey, Weird West, Fallout and Wolfeye's next game "as much as legally possible". Link 👇

Caught up with all the new Gloomwood updates, such an exceptional game even in early access. It's going to be a monumental immersive sim when it reaches 1.0 with more areas, AI and QoL improvements.

Pathologic 3's time-travelling concept sounds pretty cool, I wish I had the time to play it soon. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BaQx...

The antagonist keeps shooting itself, but the antagonist is a bullet sponge.

Post-apocalyptic bounty hunter imsim FPS-RPG ExeKiller released its gameplay overview with developer commentary. youtu.be/dEeUzd4nAmQ?...

Project Shadowglass aims to be the first Thief-inspired imsim to feature raytraced audio reflections, along with dynamic shadows, physics-based interactions, and day/night cycle. It seems to be still at prototype stage, but a demo is promised to be coming this year. youtu.be/IZIc4IFNeGQ?...

Epic Mickey remake permanently dropped price to $39.99/39.99€/£34.99 today, likely due to poor sales. Who at THQ Nordic thought $60 was a good idea for Epic Mickey when all the SpongeBob and Destroy All Humans games are in the $30-40 range.

It honestly takes mental strength to keep posting about immersive sims with everything that's going on. It keeps me focused, and maybe it'll bring you some comfort too.

At least two imsims will be shown in the New Game Plus showcase (ExeKiller, Project Shadowglass), I’ll watch it so you don’t have to. It's hosted by a streaming/esports company co-owned by people like Jake Lucky anyway.

Somehow I ratio'd 007: First Light official account on the other site, 20k to 3k likes. Their posted PC specs are almost like AI-generated: >Intel i5 9500K doesn't exist >Requires 8GB VRAM but GTX 1660 only has 6GB >Recommends 12GB VRAM but RTX 3060Ti only has 8GB >32GB RAM and 12GB VRAM for 1080p

"Thief did it" carries the same canonical weight for imsim developers as "Lennon did it" does for musicians.

The new blood variant

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 :)
