Terranova

I have only gotten a little bit into this game, but it is already KILLING ME with how good it is. I was there in the trenches back in the aughts on "limejournal", and this rings SO REAL for me. The late night first time drunk instant messenger chats and RPs. The OOC comments in the double parentheses. It's legit got me wondering if anyone who worked on this game was someone I used to play with on Compound or...was it called Nyx? Anyway so far the storytelling here is great, and I appreciate how much verisimilitude they include. I can be having 2 separate chats while also updating my blog and also playing Solitaire. Perfect game.

WOW wow wow, this hit me right in the feels. This game perfectly captures the nostalgia of growing up in the 2000s and IMing with friends. The story and drama unfolds at a wonderful pace and I found myself really easily immersed in this game. Not gonna lie, it did feel like I was chatting with Cherry, Effie, and Sendaria for real. I think this game particularly resonates with me because it captures a lot of the drama and anxieties of youth, and how, as you grow up, things do get better, and your experiences help you to grow as a person. Really did remind me of chatting with my friends, drawing fan art of our OCs, and fangirling over fictional characters. (The Solitaire was also a fantastic touch.)
