Topic	Johnbobb ranks every indie game he's ever played

Spiritfarer https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pKJ-NuSjNE I played this one on the recommendation of a close friend, and part of me still regrets doing so, because Spiritfarer quite possibly made me cry more than any other game I've played. There's a couple that might come close, but I do honestly think Spiritfarer takes it. It feels pretty inevitable given the subject matter of the game, as you are quite literally escorting people to the afterlife. Every time there's a whole scene of it where you slowly boat them toward their death, and I always fully know what's coming and what to expect, and yet every fucking time it gets me. Because once they're gone, they're gone, and the unique presence they bring to the ship is gone with them. You meet new characters, always knowing their fate ahead of time, but there's always a distinct emptiness on your ship, emphasized by the rooms you built for them remaining abandoned on your overcrowded boat. If there was an award for emotional manipulation of the player, Spiritfarer has very little competition. 38. Doki Doki Literature Club https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kB1663FTpzU OH HEY SPEAKING OF EMOTIONAL MANIPULATION. DDLC is interesting because it's a surprise horror game that specifically can't really hide that it's a surprise horror game because it specifically comes with warnings right at the beginning (which is for the best, even if it spoils the surprise). It doesn't really spoil it too much though, because it pretty expertly pulls you into a false sense of security. You see the warning at the beginning, start playing expecting things to get fucked up, and then they just... don't. The game continues to play for hours like a normal cutesy dating sim, and eventually that sense of waiting for something bad to happen goes away and you start to legitimately learn about the characters and the game feels like what it presents itself to be. And as soon as you let your guard down, GET FUCKED PLAYER YOU THOUGHT WE FORGOT?
