That sounds like “just make your games totally unplayable for some people” (which also includes me.) Technically I can play some first person games but because there are so many that would give me motion sickness so in general I just avoid them

There is no cow level

I like how you spell with þorn

Sounds like Ligotti

Hope it’s not a letdown this time

This is rather insane

Oh, I didn’t think about FF, but I can see the resemblance🤔 The guy reminds me more of SMT tho

Well, it does😂

It’s okay because it still looks elegant

I can’t give you a title because Balatro is the only one I know that fits your bill and you already mentioned it, but I think the concept of video game dark patterns is related to your post to some degree. So if anyone here isn’t familiar with the concept, might want to check it out

Any title that interests you. Like Final Fantasy, each title is standalone so you don’t have to play them in release order
