Could they be less wordy? Absolutely. But they've got their charm, there's a reason these beat the threshold for badges. Gameplay does get slightly mixed up from game to game, even if all of them contain at least one interrogation/debate sequence. Also, people throwing around "asset flip" to describe these are taking the term waaaaaay too loosely. Yes, the assets are all generic RPGMaker ones, but there's obvious effort put into writing them and figuring out a gameplay loop, which is much more than what can be said about your average Steam bundle trash, many of which are literal demos uploaded as they are.

@daexion: it's a an adventure game where the focus traditionally was on investigation, of course they're gonna be dialogue heavy. Hell, this one in particular is full of minigames, so it's not even like other entries where all progression is tied to paying attention and doing deductions.

@UTAlan: while in the USA lynchings do have racial connotations, the term in general just refers to killings by mobs.

You can send a screenshot (this one plays on SuperNova) and it'll get eventually get awarded.

Oh, wait, just slow API.

Damn, I thought I'd earned this already. Oh well, back here tomorrow for BotD No. 2.

I forgot about the BoTD and tried tackling this as a Hail Mary: I failed due to how the final mission's objectives are so obtuse to find.

I know it's past BoTD time, but seriously, the best strategy is pretty much to reset as soon as one of your army seems to be getting crushed consistently. Play a bit first to get a feel for what you'll be against, but seriously all of your armies should be able to bear everyone with the right loadout and strategy. Having an underleveled army is pretty much suicide.

Art is great, but too many puzzles are of that subpar old style of "guess what the developer was thinking", including some mechanics which po out of nowhere and weren't shared before.

Level 14 is bugged for me: robot keeps getting realigned with former gird when falling.

Watching Cracking the Cryptic has partially prepared me for this. Emphasis on partially.

Hard badge is easier than it seems at first. Yes, it depends on RNG heavily, but scoring is roughly exponential, so it doesn't take as much time as it might seem at first.

Tip for anyone having trouble not killing the hunters: there's a brief frame (I don't think it's frame perfect, though) to jump when they're turning jump and avoid their shot or even to not have them detect you at all.

There's certainly clever things about the design, but the lack of checkpoints is disappointing.

Any hint on 15?

@PrideStalker: lately BotD games have been picked based on the theme of the Kongpanion.

@Llorx: those two refer to the actual passtimes of wallclimbing and airgliding.

Sorry, but after DDLC, I no longer expect "simple" games to be so simple, especially when they get featured in the front page.

@JDcompy: it's differently colored, it's in a hostile part of the world, and it just takes half a heart away.

So, if anyone is interested, Anthony has made a second version of this on Steam under the name of "Binaries".
