I remember getting a few hundred hours into Skyrim and fallout 3 and realizing: I’m not a brave adventurer, I’m a traveling vendor for various merchants.
I swear my first Fallout 3 experience was epic. I was a tin can collector. There's a lot of tin cans in the wasteland.
This game is perfect for me. And I would probably never find it myself. Thank you, you beautiful bastard.
Well, you did...
What an authentic concept for a game. Its so well executed too. I hope this game gets more attention.
Sounds like real life, if we were to simplify real life.
Do you know there's permadeath in this game? Sure you have life counts...but if one is stupid enough to attempt stupid fatal things...it is possible...
i don't like the online only aspect. if the player base drops it could really impact game play...
Well, they've already laid off a ton of staff. .
It was extremely buggy at launch, probably what killed it. They basically laid of half there staff. Still an interesting game doe and I agree that it should get more attention.
What a beautiful art style this game has, lovely.
reminds me a lot of that game Journey that came out ages ago on the ps3. you'd travel the sands as a little person of some kind in a cloak and you would sometimes cross games with other players as they would show up in your game naturally. from there you could choose to progress together or just part ways as you saw fit. minimal emote style interactions too. I really liked that game a lot
"Ages ago."😂
@@CaliforniaReefRat well it was nearly 10 years ago now so yeah (but granted I thought it was more like 2007, but I was mistaken)
@@CaliforniaReefRat Yes! Ages ago, just like ages ago when fortnite came out! How to show your 15 without saying it :D
That was a great game!
@@pepsipwns666 it came out 10 years ago by the time I played to the time I wrote this comment, I’ve went through middle school, high school and college, lost family, got jobs, went through multiple relationships, and started a career. So yes i’d say that was fuckin ages ago.
We appreciate your hard work Matt. Always pulling for you. Get some rest from streaming
Always what!? 🤣
oh my god, this is literally walking around a painting! It's gorgeous
As someone who spent hours fishing in WoW for a sense of relaxation this game looks like my dream. Going to to have to pick this one up!
I think the word you're looking for to explain the trade portion is "Barter"
"Everywhere you go, there was some kind of interesting thing happening, and then you talk to somebody and they're all like 'ugh, my cousin's late! I don't know where he's at. He was coming in along the southeast road' and then like obviously you get the challenge like 'okay I'm gonna go walk the southeast road'. And then you find the guy and he says that he dropped his lockbox somewhere in the woods, and then like now you're exploring the woods for the lockbox. And then you bring the lockbox back, and then he goes and meets with his cousin and you've *changed* something in the world."
Basically this is a game of nothing but sidequests, and I love it.
I happened to scroll down right as he was saying this. I read it as I was listening. Very well done.
This seems like the kind of game that reminds me of that Playstation game 'Journey'.
I wishlist it and will wait till full release. Though I'll admit, watching the game makes me super sleepy and relaxed.
A way different vibe than the other games of today.
I am so glad i was not the only one that got sleepy.
With that said i love the idea behind the game, when i used to play WoW i would spend a lot of time with my shaman in wolf form just exploring the Kalindor and meeting NPcs, back then they didn't had achivements for exploration, so i was doing it just to see the world, and this game is all about just that.
@@Doomroar I love exploration in games. I also used to do this in WOW as a druid night elf. I love the shaman ability to walk on water.
@@Doomroar that was the best part of Wow for me! When the world was new, and you'd just run around and marvel at how vast everything was. Do you remember the first time you got to Ironforge? Ohmylord
The music on the character creation screen is STUNNING ! So deep and well designed
Wow, I love the way the graphics look. I love how the character walks and travels through the world. I love the concept of trading in place of conventional money. The Might and Delight devs have made some clever fascinating games.
feeling kenshi and outward vibes from this, looks beautiful too
This game is actually out?? I remember seeing this in a Kickstarter some years back. Definitely going to check this out!
The composition of this game is incredible! The entire opening sequence is so beautiful, from the artwork to the voice over to the general ambiance. Thank you for showing it off!
You somehow always manage to find the games whose art styles stick in my memory long after the video has gone up. I find I'll come across something years later, long after I've forgotten already, and just seeing it once will send my memories back to when you posted the video where I saw it first haha.
Yet another reason to love you and your channel Splatt'
Such games are all too rare and such a breeze of fresh air.
This looks absurdly addicting :D THANKS for bringing it to our attention!
Interesting. I learned the vellan language from someone else as part of a questline. Your luck with the loot is nuts. Ive been wandering around with a backpack full of garbage for hours lol. I hope the devs are able to achieve the incredible premise of the game. I tend to throw my money at things like this because its stuff the big studios would never even attempt.
Exactly because there would be less moneu thrown around. Naughty Dogs realised their vision with Last of Us 2 and look at the backlash, had they went with the done and dusted of Ellie taking over the town naturally there would have been no backlash. No character growth or the opposite, either.
@@chillaxboi2109 no, don’t insult this game by comparing it to the last of us 2.
It was bad because of it’s writing for both plot and character development that got it it’s backlash. That’s it, had they not fired the phenomenal (female) writer who wrote tlou 1 and replaced her with Neil “i’m so progressive that I fired my superior female coworker” Druckman it’d turn out completely different.
@@thebigenchilada678 However the pacing felt, the makers realised their vision. TLOU1 wasn't perfect. Very one note in my opinion. But it was what people liked. TLOU2 wasn't perfect either, could have ended sooner or had a bit more into it to make it make more sense to the players.
I repeat, the done and dusted would have received no amount of backlash.
@@chillaxboi2109 done and dusted doesn’t matter what matters is execution.
The story of TLOU1 itself isn’t what’s praised it was the characters and how they developed over the course of the game, that’s what made the game as good as it was, it’s the character driven narrative, TLOU2 failed because it essentially erased what made the first one so good by focusing *entirely* on its themes (which it does poorly still) over the actual development of characters, which again, literally made the first game what it was.
And you keep saying “done and dusted” as if TLOU2 isn’t an outrageous revenge plot with a non sensical “twist” ending that thematically makes absolutely 0 sense. This is why TLOU2 got it’s heat, not because it tried something different but because it failed at doing so.
@@thebigenchilada678 So you're going to willfully ignore the heat that wasn't part of the game?
Was it *just* people hating on the overdrawn and poorly paced story?
The game has its many bad aspects but it wasn't a fail in terms of being what it wanted to be. There was all of what you had in the first game, more, and because of its lack of connectivity at some points, also less.
I think its an unfair view to not class it as a polarising game, at least.
I remember seeing this on kickstarter way back, glad to see this one made it out of production
This looks absolutely breathtakingly beautiful
@@xm1502 You're breathtaking ;)
@@TimmacTR YOU’RE ALL BREATHTAKING
Stahp, I can't breathe
Fuck, this is absolutely lovely! It's wonderful when games lean into an art style. 💕
This just seems like such a relaxing game. I would have never even found it if you didn't post this!!! Thank you
Im captivated by the idea of this game. I hope they keep working on it!
What a lovely game. I could watch you play this for hours
Splatty, you're the best. The way you break down a game is excellent. :)
This really _is_ something different. Thanks Splatt!
I love the look of the game. Very gentle on the eyes, like a moving watercolor painting.
Just a correction on the multiplayer part: you play on shared servers, but they're incredibly small numbers. It's been about 5 or 7 people in the beta so far. So you usually won't see people except in towns or if you're playing with a friend
If you check the Dev's background on Steam...over the past several years they have already developed and published several games like this before either in design and/or artwork, world build and lores.
It seems that a buildup of work that culminates into this TMORPG. I have a good feeling that it will develop well. They are unlike others who promises a lot yet lack any precursor products.
Also from the high positive reviews and sales of their previous products, I'm assuming that they are also solvent, financially capable to carry it through.
Such a cool game! I'd love to see a let's play series.
It really is quite beautiful. Much love to the artist/artists. I really enjoy the mechanics as well. Very cool interpretation of magic.
Oh man do I love the art style! Seems quite unique. I was thinking that as soon as you were selecting the "form", but the moment you actually loaded in...
What a cool game. Considering how different, and chill the game is compared to the norm, it’s very encapsulating. Kind of like active storytelling, but not. Very cool.
Casting spells by rope tying is one of the most creative things I've ever heard.
such a chilled game.Thanks Splatt
Heey! I really like the way, how you playing this Game. You read everthing, speak with everyone. A true explorer... I would happily watch a series from your travels :D
This game is making me so excited and I'm pretty jaded. Thanks for the tip, Splat!
Looks really interesting, finally a unique concept and game I would want to play. The fast talker trait funnily fits too.
Ahh this has been on my wishlist for a while, glad to see it now!
This game reminds me of another "trading" game Splatt covered awhile back, of the ttRPG Ryuutama, and of The Banner Saga. The covered game was your character taking over a business from her(?) parent(s) and had a kind of cartoony art style, and looked very interesting. Ryuutama is a Japanese ttRPG that is commonly described as "Hayao Miyazaki's Oregon Trail" and is a collaborative storytelling game (and would probably make an amazing video game).
This one looks nice and relaxing. That tea and knot magic are in here really speaks to the laid-back feel of this game; as both are refined and storied traditions in real life. Splatt keeps mentioning "becoming part of the world" and it makes me hope that there's some amount of response from the game itself as you adventure. NPCs mentioning your (and other player's) name/nickname, and the events you are a part of, as you level up. I'd find that _extremely_ satisfying.
"you can be a legendary spellcaster if you can make tea that keep people not tired and awaken" that's basically a drug lord's definition
I just want to say with my time playing the book of travels it was weird to get accustomed to the new style of play but I am use to playing the patient game so I gave it some time to sink in and every bit of it was new, the people I meet really did have an impact and even though communication was limited it reminds me of when I try to speak a different language, I can barely understand but I got the jest 😅. The impact of actually meeting someone is surprising and what’s cool is you’ll want to find someone even if it for a while because 4 arms is better then two when you’re lifting a bolder.
ahhh ive had my eye on this game since it's announcement! really hope i can get it soon. seems so beautiful and unique!
Incredible artstyle!! Never seen a game like this before :o
Collecting, exploring, wandering. This is EXACTLY my kind of game! YES!
The way multiplayer works reminds me of Journey. I saw this on the switch Store yesterday, and this video popped up for me today. I am intrigued!
This game looks so relaxing and I can imagine it will be very rewarding to get your character to level up and go far
Drangonlance reference... nice.
This is going straight on my Steam wishlist. It looks like a game I could totally lose myself in.
I really like the art style (they always excel in this area with all their past games) and the gameplay mechanics seem interesting. I'm gonna keep an eye out for this for sure
That reference to Caramon Majere took me by surprise. I see you're a man of culture.
Sometimes I love youtube recommendations... you sir gained a sub, and this game looks really interesting.
The dragon lance reference made me subscribe instantly
I've been having so much fun with this game.
That concept of random players jumping in and out of your game reminds me of journey
Oh man, you had me at isolated and alone!
My wishlist is getting out of control, but I have to add this lol. Thanks, Splat!
You've explained this game really well and I'm thoroughly interested. I hope I get the chance to play it at some point.
Interesting game that will be fun for anyone who likes wandering, curious. and just making their own stories.
The art is also really beautiful.
Totally captivated. Going in on it now! Thanks for the review and good luck to the devs!
the man starts narrating the story and i am simply✨IMMERSED✨
love your work man!
What an absolutely gorgeous game. Reminds me of Pyre. Keep up the great work Splatty. You're my favorite streamer of all time. I call you Splatterwaffle for some reason.
Love the 40 min videos!
The thing im most impressed about is how well you read lol
That being said, the game looks awesome
When that narration started after character building is thought, “damn that’s slow talking” and I’m already watching on 1.25 speed.
Very cool monsieur Splatter.
Thank you for the weirdness.
love the comfy aesthetic
Digging the character creation music.
Wow this is gorgeous! Such a cool concept too, thanks for covering it
Don't know if you've ever played the old snes game "Romancing Saga" but, that non-linear immersive feeling you kept trying to describe gave me such nostalgic feels towards the game. Would not be surprised if there was some influence!
great game! thx for your work!
Love the art style
omg this is super interesting to me, never heard or seen it but here. Thanks for sharing this ✨knowledge✨
Interesting, this sort of reminds me of the Sunless SkIes/Sea series of games, so I think I'll give it a buy. Thanks for the quick look!
I'm so glad people are showing this game
the art is incredible !
This is my jam for sure
The way the overall mechanics function makes this game seem a lot like a pseudo-fantasy version of the “Red Paperclip Social Experiment.” Loving the art style too, absolutely gorgeous game.
Nice, looking forward to this one.
I’m loving watching this !!!!
This looks really cool. I think I'd have a greater appreciation for it if you saw your equipment on your character, but this does look like something I'd want to give a try once I get a PC, nonetheless.
Brew a tea that makes you stay up longer or not sleep for days. Apparently tea has one effect, just worded differently😂. Always love your commentary
Ha! Nice Dragonlance reference, you are by far my favorite game reviewer
This seems very intriguing and mysterious game/world.. and quite antithetical to normal minmaxing .. and gorgeous too! I guess I just have to get it :)
I saw the thumbnail and it immediately made me think of the art style from the shelter series even though it's not quite that. neat to hear it's by the same developers
this game looks like my kinda thing! Awesome!!!
as an absolute lorefiend that cares a lot about good worldbuilding and immersion, this looks super intriguing!! It's still early access, I hope they find a good following where this can get really off the ground and get the bugs ironed out
This game looks right up my alley
The art is absolutely 1000000% beautiful.
Hope the best for this game. Looks really intriguing.
I would love to look into this game farther ^^
refreshing, zen and peaceful .. perfect for me
When you open the game, you see "Twelve Minutes" then the letters go away one by one and you are left with a small word.
But not always the same.
You can be left with "Lies" or with "Ten".
Ten is probably a hint to make you realize that your loops are ten minutes long, not 12.
It can make you wonder what you have to do to get those 2 extra minutes.
What a cool game and beautiful art style
Definitely wish listed. It makes me think of a MMOish version of Thousand Threads.
Caramon majere, love some of your references
I watched 2 mins of the game and was instantly sold, I need to get it!
Man I wish the streamers I like watched this channel
