We’re over halfway through this year’s RPS Advent Calendar now, and spoilers, but you can’t leave now without seeing it through to the end. We’ve walled up the Treehouse and everything so you can’t escape.
But wait, maybe there is a way out, just like in our next entry,Babbdi!
Alice0:Babbdi is a great example of a type of game I adore: here’s a strange place, now go explore and figure out what this game is and how its parts work and what you can even do, then wrap up and be done inside an hour. The strange place is a grim Brutalist walled city you are attempting to leave. This is a task youtechnicallycan complete in under 56 seconds. But why hurry when you can explore, meet people, complete little tasks, find secret places and hidden treasures, and play a trumpet?
It’s not a cheery place. I wouldn’t want to live there. But I enjoyed bumbling around, meeting everyone, finding secrets, then making my escape. In under an hour. Under an hour! I’d pay good money for more games to be confidently short and hell, Babbdi is free.
