It also launched a year or two before the ps3 and I feel like it was significantly cheaper. Xbox Live also seemed to be huge despite the cost, probably some network effect in action. I remember Gears of War being another big name they had.

In the uk I remember the 360 being huge and nobody having a ps3, but now I'm not sure I know a single person who bought an xb1 or whatever the current one is called.

That was probably one of their most sensible naming decisions

I agree, still good to have the discussion though

All good suggestions. The risk is more if theoretically someone was to monitor your edits they can work out that someone who lives at this location is suddenly uploading from another so their house is currently unoccupied, etc.

Haha whoops, I did the conversion upside down, don't get on any trains I've built!

~~650 km/h in 7s, that's 2340 m/s so assuming it's from stationary then an acceleration of 334m/s² or 34g. Really hoping there wasn't a person on that train, because there isn't anymore!~~

 

Decades have passed and the Actress, Ella, returns to the abandoned theater to uncover a preserved collection of extraordinary performances. Explore a variety of magical, hand-painted worlds as you collect the lost pieces of the past.

When they were young, the Actress and the Director were full of dreams and ambitions. Decades later, the Actress returns to the theater, to once more become the performer, the audience, and the muse.

With each play you will explore a new, incredible scenography, fully painted in VR. Each performance tells the story of different characters, with individual gameplay mechanics and a unique closure.

To separate the performances from the real world and put the stress on their artistic nature, we decided to reach for new, creative methods of graphic design. The plays' segments of the game are painted using virtual reality technology. Exchanging traditional 3D modeling for painterly strokes and splatters granted us more expressive freedom in shaping the artistic vision of the Director.

The game is usually2D, but it also has some spicy 3D cutscenes showcased in the trailer below. Memetown USA may be small in scope, but it makes up for it with intense AAA quality meme material.

  • Deep-fried cutscenes.
  • A built-in online service for sharing memes with other players.

Welcome to Memetown, a typical city in every way except one: memes. Memes are a way of life in Memetown. Memes are everywhere. Memes are products. Memes are people. Memes are religion. Especially religion. In fact, something about the church seems a little suspicious. Maybe it's worth checking out...

Recently there have been rumors of a dangerous cult residing in the woods near Memetown. Maybe they know something we don't...

The amount of effort required to make this game far exceeded the value of the end result.

Cod and chips. It's a classic for a reason!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

I guess that comes from it being made with a game engine from 2000

OS *: Windows XP

* Starting January 1st, 2024, the Steam Client will only support Windows 10 and later versions.

Sadly you can't just install it on win xp though

 

Cameroon didn’t believe in much. When they said the ritual was harmless — just five days — he agreed. A quiet house. A few strangers. A place to belong. But now, he wakes up alone. Every morning night, they’re already waiting.

They never move, but he knows they’re watching. Their whispers crawl through the walls in a language he doesn’t understand. And with each passing day, the house changes — the walls breathe, the lights lie, and the rituals feel less like tradition and more like a trap. By the fifth day, Cameroon finally understands: he was never meant to leave.

🔸 Five Days of Dread

A tightly paced horror experience that escalates each day.

🔸 No Dialogue. No Escape.

🔸 PSX-Inspired Visuals

Low-resolution textures and unsettling retro environments amplify the unease.

🔸 Atmospheric Psychological Horror

No chases. No combat. Just presence, tension, and the terror of being watched.
