After playing Lunacid I was looking for more retro horror dungeon crawlers, but I couldn't find anything that really went all in on it. But now Labyrinth of the Demon King is out and HOLY SHIT does it hit the mark.

It's described as Silent Hill x Kings Field and I feel it fits well. You have to accept the retro wrapping of it but god damn the horror is on point, the environments and sounds conjure so much atmospheric pressure, it remixes so many great elements from classical survival horrors and more modern ones (including more modern FromSoft games). I love also how it keeps both sides of the SH DNA, between moments of serene eerie fogged exteriors and the dark claustrophobic unending nightmare of the interiors. Some parts feel very Lost in Vivo if you've played it which I also loved. I don't have 300 screenshots cause I'm too caught in :D

I think the trailer that sold me on it last year still gives the most accurate vibe to the gritty dark disgusting nightmares the game crushes you with. Only shows a bit of the gameplay but it plays like a mix of of an RPG survival horror and Condemned, but it’s not a pure RPG with incredible depth it’s more tools of survival. It’s not perfect but for a game that just came out I feel it could have some staying power in the niche and the dev seems motivated to update it so far!

I just love these posts so much man, they're so random but so authentic. AND YES GOD DAMMIT IT IS JESSE FADEN I will not be lied to god dammit I recognize my favorite Remedy girl. And yes Crow Country is dope, if you like retro survival horror I cannot not recommend Signalis!

How is it dead tech if everything still works, apps are still being made and websites still publish feeds? Literally every Substack and such has an rss it's so easy that most websites have it without knowing and don't link it but it works anyway

Advertising RSS feeds is also a good way to reach back and replace substack. People have forgotten them but they still work just as much as before. I've dug up Reeder that is still kicking after all these years.

This was a great read can't wait for the next part. I only know about some of the later parts with WWW. The internet is baked with so many amazing ideas I'm glad it came to be from people with humanity's good at heart or that at least wanted to protect it from the worst elements and share knowledge.

Sans deconner, y'a des jours c'est jusqu'à dix appels par jour. On dirait le torrent de robocall aux US

I feel called out with surgical emotional precision

I really recommend Lunacid mentioned in the article from the dev doing this, it's really an amazing retro dungeon crawler with lots of great horror touches since it's the same dev as Lost in Vivo and such.

I feel like that depends on the frontend you use which is one of the coolest parts, using Photon https://phtn.app/ I find the UX actually better than Reddit's

Loved the first one I'm please to see they seem to have landed a proper sequel!

I agree and that's sad but that's also how I've seen people use AI, as a search engine, as Wikipedia, as a news anchor. And in any of these three situations I feel these kind of "both sides" strictly surface facts answers do more harm than good. Maybe ChatGPT is more subtle but it breaks my heart seeing people running to DeepSeek when the vision of the world it explains to you is so obviously excised from so many realities. Some people need some morals and actual "human" answers hammered into them because they lack the empathy to do so themselves unfortunately.

I mean that's the kind of answer DeepSeek gives you if you ask it about Uyghurs. "Some say it's a genocide but they don't so guess we'll never know ¯_(ツ)_/¯", it acts as if there's a complete 50/50 split on the issue which is not the case.
