An appreciation of the design of Cocoon and what that design speaks to regarding recursive meaning and the search for truth.

@MrShhkotsky @Sputnik345 @HeyBlondieGamer @Cult_CyberSkull @Lord_of_the_RPG @Oranvdk @gameservatory @TRCMods @thesummerofmark Much appreciated!

[Ruben Rodriguez @rubenjrod]

@Lord_of_the_RPG @ChillTownGame I hope they give you a key! Your channel would be the perfect place to showcase this sort of game.

@Matthew20774363 @PimsCrypt @MrShhkotsky OMORI illustrates, purposefully or not, some broader ideas. We use that as a jumping off points at various times to discuss those ideas. Hence "less about OMORI than about what OMORI (purposefully or not) is about."

[Ruben Rodriguez @rubenjrod]

@PimsCrypt @MrShhkotsky We explain much of what matters, thematically, about the game, so it should feel comfortable to follow even for those who haven't played the game.
As we state at the outset, it's less a video about OMORI than about what OMORI's about.
Hope you enjoy!

@MrShhkotsky @PimsCrypt 🙏
You're so kind, man. Thanks!

[Ruben Rodriguez @rubenjrod]

@Lord_of_the_RPG Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. Not sure if you've seen the recent PC Gaming Show, but there is a ton of fantastic indies on their way.

[Ruben Rodriguez @rubenjrod]

@hifuncmedium Oh yeah, back when it first came out, including the DLC. I've very much enjoyed all of Remedy's games, even Quantum Break.

[Ruben Rodriguez @rubenjrod]

@hifuncmedium I'm nearing an hour in. This is easily my favorite video of yours so far.

Your effort and devotion to this project resonates through every second. I'm hoping this is one of those vids that just has a delayed blow-up.

Today or tomorrow has got to be the day!

[Ruben Rodriguez @rubenjrod]

@hifuncmedium Watching now. Turns out this is the best way to prep for #AlanWake2: the level of research and threading together of disparate pieces of lore is extraordinary!

[Midnight Medium | RPGs, Horror, Imsims @amidnightmedium]

Alan Wake 2 comes out tomorrow so if youre not caught up yet, check this superfan video out from yours truly! #AlanWake2 #alanwake #remedyentertainment

@hifuncmedium @PlayCocoon @CarlsenGames @jakobschmid It's the perfect game for a single sitting: each concept builds one to the next at a steady pace, and by the end you'll have pulled off more than you would've thought you could manage at the start.
