Well, well, well. I see that there are now hall effect joystick replacements available for Dual Sense controllers... I have 4 of them at this point, because my OG pair started drifting after a year. Current pair have started to drift as well. A kit to replace the sticks on 2 controllers is 18 bucks. I do believe I know what my next project is going to be.

It sucks that this game ends on a cliffhanger. The studio is currently in a bad way, having just laid off all employees. The 2 founders haven't taken a salary in months while they desperately pitched stuff to publishers that wasn't picked up. They are trying to Kickstart part 3 of this series, so I guess we'll see what happens there.

Deliver Us Mars (Multi, XP'd on PS5)
Sequel to Deliver Us the Moon, venture to Mars as Kathy in search of her father and the people that abandoned Earth to its fate a decade ago.
It's more of the same from the 1st game, puzzle out traversal routes, watch holograms of the past to discover what happened, find collectibles. The plastic char models don't do justice to the great voice acting/the emotions they convey. Good game, tho. deliverusmars.com/

Mango (PC)
Highly surrealist FP adventure exploring a mind losing touch with reality.
This game is easily in the top ten weirdest games I've ever played list. It's a bit hard to recommend it? You have to be willing to overlook some rather wonky looking art/assets. Also there's a lot of backtracking. Plus some sensitive subject matter, and a bunch of strobe lighting effects. I enjoyed it, but it's likely an acquired taste.

Botany Manor (PC/Xbox/Switch, XP'd on Series X) It's 1890, and Arabella has returned to her manor and its garden. Grow and catalog some interesting plants.
This is a cozy FP walking sim/Puzzle game. Very similar look as The Witness etc. Quite odd plants you must puzzle out how to grow, lol. It's fairly short, 4ish hours. I do rather like the Victorian setting as well.

BTW, @th3j35t3r , I will absolutely show up at your apt for a screening of Birdy :P

Y'all know Peter Gabriel for like, Sledgehammer, etc right? How many of you know his work on movie soundtracks? like say Birdy? Which is a fucking excellent movie, btw. Here's the OST to it. Personal fave is Slow Marimbas.

Harold Halibut (Multi, XP'd on PC) Experience life on FEDORA, a spaceship crashed and floating in an endless ocean, from the POV of Harold, FEDORA's Everyman janitor.

Do you like Point & Click/Adventure games? Play this. It's that simple. Brilliant animation/art style. Good narratives. Great voice acting. Excellent music, including a couple licensed surprises. I very much enjoyed this game. Absolutely worth the price of admission.
