A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Either Return of the Obra Dinn or Tyranny. Tyranny has been in my steam backlog for a little bit, but it feels like something I need to be ready to get mentally invested in

Return of the Obra Dinn is similar in that you may even want to have a notebook with you, but the experience is so worth it

I'm really looking forward to it. It seems to be consistently recommended as the thing that offers the most similar experience to Outer Wilds, which I absolutely adore. A good puzzle that reveals a story is always such a satisfying way to spend a bit of brain power

It's emotional too. At least it was for me.

Great pick. Obra Dinn is a masterpiece. If you end up enjoying Obra Dinn you’d probably also enjoy the Case of the Golden Idol and its recent sequel. Both scratch a very similar itch.
