If you like There Is No Game: Wrong Dimension, Daniel Mullins games, or the TOME RPG, (to the 2 people who know what that is) you will probably enjoy Project RyME. In a game that spans multiple genres, there's a risk of some feeling underdeveloped and janky or not being your cup of tea. While there are some gamemodes that feel like a bit of a waste of time or too slow, generally I really enjoyed the changes of pace…

jumping straight in from the next fest demo, the game is still wonderful. the mystery is engaging, the puzzles are novel, the character writing and easter eggs are hilarious. my biggest nitpick is that switching which window is in focus brings multiple windows in front, which is especially notable with the era-accurate screen size, but it's manageable

I was vibing with the game, during the first section, as I'm playing out the hack fantasy. Then it went in a different direction, and suddenly I'm having to play old text adventures... maybe if I was in the right mood, this would have gone over better. Finally, I pulled up the in-game walkthrough (thank you), and was getting along, but managed to somehow lose hours of progress, and didn't have the stamina to re-do…
