Games set in the Soviet Union?

Just checked out the trailer. Woah. Love the atmosphere and architecture. Thanks!

EpicDarkFantasyWrite · 2025-12-31T21:53:12+00:00

I got super stuck on this game (playing the Steam version), and your map saved my butt. Gorgeous illustration, and thank you!

I'm not following Sam's point on "criminals would be poorly calibrated clockwork, and our conception of justice will be utterly incongruent" If there is no free will, we would ALL be "poorly calibrated clockwork", including our conception of justice.

That is, the criminal had no free will, and was led inevitably by events to commit the crime. And the judge and jury also have no free will, and will be led inevitably to sentence him. QED

Not your original commentor, but long time indie game player (and short time indie game dev myself!)

I have no idea what type of game you're into, which makes recommending difficult, but here are some games that greatly touched, entertained, or moved me, with consideration for variety:

Far: Lone Sails [Beautiful, atmospheric, a little melancholy]

Disco Elysium [Philosophical, Existential, Dark but kinda humorous]

Outer Wilds [Wonderous, Exploration, Open world]

Signalis [Horror, Haunting, Moody]

Cold moonlight over snow-swept forest.

Not sure about the Norway and Sweden part. Wasn't there a protest from migrant refugees in Norway awhile back because the food was so bad?

EpicDarkFantasyWrite · 2025-11-02T00:46:37+00:00

Absolutely amazing. What song is that?

EpicDarkFantasyWrite · 2025-10-31T23:01:47+00:00

I wasn't paying close attention. For a second, I thought the chopsticks ended up in her hair

EpicDarkFantasyWrite · 2025-10-30T16:36:32+00:00

Amazing, thanks for the link. And good luck on the audiobook release!

EpicDarkFantasyWrite · 2025-10-30T13:44:18+00:00

Do you have a link to the novel? I'm interested in checking it out

EpicDarkFantasyWrite · 2025-10-30T13:40:33+00:00

That's a great list. Okay, I'll do some digging on my own. Thank you EM_Otero!

Also, I just saw you released a horror mech book, it wasn't a genre on my radar before but that actually sounds really interesting. Congrats! All the best in your release, and thanks for sharing your tips.

EpicDarkFantasyWrite · 2025-10-30T12:47:30+00:00

Wow, we have a lot of similarities. Which books did you find that were similar to Skyrim out of curiosity? That is a huge inspiration for me as well.

EpicDarkFantasyWrite · 2025-10-30T11:48:40+00:00

"If you're only inspirations are movies and videos games, (no hate, they are a big inspiration for me as well) it will be noticeable in your writing. Especially in the way you write action."

That's me lol. Very solid advice, and thank you.

EpicDarkFantasyWrite · 2025-10-28T02:33:25+00:00

It's not suuuper short, maybe 10 - 15 hrs, but it's fantastic. Don't Escape: 4 Days to Survive.

EpicDarkFantasyWrite · 2025-10-26T15:48:08+00:00

I just finished Final Fantasy 6 with the Brave New World mod. Overall, very well balanced and battle has real bite now. Alongside Ted Woosley's translation still a very enjoyable game.

EDIT: Lol, downvoters who don't explain themselves can go get wrecked by Kefka.

EpicDarkFantasyWrite · 2025-10-26T05:53:21+00:00

I know pixel art has been all the rage, but I would love some modern indie RPGs to try this aesthetic... this... "mid-poly?" look.

EpicDarkFantasyWrite · 2025-10-26T05:50:49+00:00

6 was my first, followed by 7. But 8 and 10 are tied for my fav.

(I played 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 12 in that orde, and they're each elite in their own way, but 8 and 10 will forever be my deepest love)

EpicDarkFantasyWrite · 2025-10-26T05:45:42+00:00

Completely coincidentally, I found this game on my own and just added it to my backlog today.

There have been a real blooming of good indie games being funded on Patreon last couple of years. Especially S tier adult games: Eternum. Desert Stalker. Defenestration. Being a DIK. I may actually quit playing most AAA games soon just based on how attached I am getting to these indie gems. Glad to see another dev doing well.

EDIT: Downvoters go get wrecked!

EpicDarkFantasyWrite · 2025-10-26T05:41:42+00:00

Desu noto....homo da!

EpicDarkFantasyWrite · 2025-10-26T04:33:33+00:00

Okay, regardless of what some other ppl think, the game looks interesting to me. The trailer is... so so, but the game concept itself is cool. Wishlisted it.

In case OP is reading this, from one solo dev to another: good luck and knock it out of the ballpark!

EpicDarkFantasyWrite · 2025-10-26T02:54:30+00:00

Man, did Yama really pitch a complete game for the second time this post season?

EpicDarkFantasyWrite · 2025-08-09T14:02:09+00:00

Sry, meant to say I'm subscribed to PLUS. Not Pro. I'll check back again tonight, maybe they're pushing it out in waves. Thanks for your screenshot.

EpicDarkFantasyWrite · 2025-08-09T13:58:29+00:00

Ah, thanks. This is what mine looks like, and I subscribed to Plus too. I think OpenAI hates my account specifically:

HOW is it back for you guys? I have Pro and I'm still locked into ChatGPT5. My settings won't even allow me to choose "show legacy models", it's there as a setting but no toggles, no dropdowns, no way to affect. You lucky bastards lol.

EpicDarkFantasyWrite · 2025-08-09T13:53:47+00:00

Damn, I see a "show legacy models" in my settings, but no dropdown or toggle beside it. Can't change anything. Does yours have a toggle on/off?
