Re: The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince
I want to add that I love this game so much. SO MUCH.
I just finished a clean sketch for a piece of fan art, and I would be writing the spiciest fic instead of this review if the characters weren't so clearly ten-year-old children.
I love werewolves to begin with, and probably my favorite variation on the standard tropes is when the werewolf is a wolf who considers themself to be only temporarily human. I also like lady werewolves kind of a lot.
And also - I know I'm always talking about being a shitty gamer, but it's really not a joke. This is the easiest game, and I still had to consult a walkthrough video at the beginning to figure out how one of the core mechanics is supposed to work. While I'm exposing my shame for everyone to see, allow me to admit that I also got really frustrated the first time I played Journey, when I couldn't figure out what I was supposed to be doing in the vertically-scrolling "Temple" level that gradually fills with water.
I will readily acknowledge that I'm not that smart to begin with, but I honestly have no idea how so many people seem to know exactly what to do in games that they've never played (or watched) before. I mean, if reading is like telepathy between the mind of the reader and the mind of the writer, then playing video games can sometimes feel like the universe-brain version of figuring out what the developers were thinking.
