dead game.

Well I do admit, No Players Online is a FAR better game than whatever the fuck ass bullshit horse head hoppy stupid game I played was. This is actually another rare instance where the game we play is a game we've played before. Like Deltarune. Of course I didn't play No Players Online. But V did.

The game starts just like the demo did. A taste.. a tease at what's to come. You walk around the map you will become familiar with as you are given the opening credits. Approaching a glitchy record player as the screen becomes more red before you are taken to an old computer. 3 users are available to log in to but as for now you can only use the guest account. Nothing seems overly different compared to the demo of the game. The guest account has basic file folders. Along with an internet browser, music player, chat room, and minesweeper game. And a notepad and settings. After waiting 5 hours for the dialup connection, I am able to access world-i connect. I honestly don't explore much of it because it's pretty much the same stuff already seen in the demo. The forum has 5 different categories, Rules and announcements, releases and wips, game design board, feedback and help, and off-topic. Releases and wips has downloadable files of fishing with knives 2 and a cracked copy of 20 summer days. I don't check out either of these games. But if you want to see them in action, again, check out V's stream on this game. The TL;DW of it is... fishing with knives 2 is a subpar basic ass fishing game and 20 summer days is a cheeky little visual novel. While cracked, the game for some reason has anti-piracy and you end up getting the bad ending. Oh no I spoiled the game so sad. Too bad I couldn't make fast cash. Dude's website was taken down. Of course. Anyways, some dude wants to be my friend because he is lonely oh boo-hoo and wants to play a game. An old beta copy of a flag capturing game. With guns! Fun fact, the website shown in the game? It's real. Seriously check it out. The devs of this game really did go all out. There also seems to be some dashboard log in page. I don't know the username or password but believe me when I say that we'll probably know at some point. Anyways, I make an actual room for this game. Yeah it's a basic capture the flag game. Where's the dude who said would show up? Shortly after I return the flag to my base, our dude shows up and their name is fucked. I'm sure that isn't totally a sign at all. The same record player I saw before shows up. I take care of that old piece of shit. When I get the blue flag again, shit goes red for a moment before going back to normal.

Headed for the blue flag a 3rd time and... well... I'm being followed. I don't know what it is but it has definitely found me. Trying to bring the flag back to my base isn't easy. I can't quite reach my red flag and even if I can, the game crashes. Amazing. I'd send in some feedback but that just causes the computer to crash. However now I can access John Mullard's account. After sucking ass at minesweeper, I find the soul transfer. This is where shit gets complicated. You can combine games together, generate a host, and transfer the soul of the 2 games. In this case, fishing with knives and 20 summer days. Doing so creates a new visual novel. I kind of speed through it but long story short, dude goes out with his dog... and dies. the end. :) Got a stone out of it! Surprisingly I already have 3 stones filled in. I didn't even do anything yet. So all I need is 1 more? With the stone now a part of the vessel, I can play the game that now has elements of 20 summer days and fishing with knives. The blue flag is in a weird spot when I remember about the secret hole just below the area with the blue flag. Found it a lot faster than V did. SUCK IT! I fall out of bounds and swim my past big scary eel. Okay it gets me once. I still avoided it 99% of the time. I get into the generic room which gets me into the corrupted map. I already know what I am doing here. I have to line my view up with the blue borders. Unlocking a chunk of... a weird story. Seemingly between a husband and wife who aren't getting along very well? Like they want things to work out but something just doesn't feel right. And then I get transported to... fucking somewhere. The map is so corrupted and yet it's still trying to be something. I make it to where the demo originally ended. And from here, everything is new. Like knocking down the bulletin board to reveal a black hole. Giving me a new game. For Sarah. Also known as Sarah's studio. It's a basic art game. I guess you try the draw the object you're given. In this case, a pot of flowers and you're graded on it. It's... (yawn)... a game. I wonder what I can do with it. Well I can take this and the minesweeper game and combine those to make Mine Friend's studio. Also known as, I make painting of dude shoving his ass at me okay fuck you too.

At least I got a perfect score!
