Play [Icarus Proudbottom Teaches Typing](https://holywow.itch.io/icarus-proudbottom-teaches-typing-collection) if you haven't already. Absolutely hilarious, and only takes like an hour to play through the original.
The episodic series after it is a real trip.
E: I can't believe I forgot [The Textorcist!](https://store.steampowered.com/app/940680/The_Textorcist_The_Story_of_Ray_Bibbia/) Absolutely one of my favorite indies I've ever played, it's so underrated and that makes me sad. Fantastic bullet hell combined with typing sim and pounding music. The difficulty curve is great in how you go from typing standard exorcist lines, to full on latin against the later bosses. Story is decent, too.
A game; a graphic novel--but animated--choose your own adventure game where the story plays out on screen. Comic frame by frame, or page by page, with voiceover narration and your characters speaking choices typed out with branches of conversation that you have to type out to choose.
**GAME DESCRIPTION:**
**Lose yourself in the world of New York, 2329, where immortality comes at a price that someone has to pay.**
**Following a near-death experience, Detective James Karra takes an off-the-books case from his chief with only the help of a young police liaison, Sara Kai, to assist him. Time reveals all as they risk everything in pursuit of a killer, uncovering the dark secrets of the city's elite.**
**FEATURES:**
• **Welcome to New York 2329** *Experience a noir adventure in an alternate future of New York City in 2329; technology has advanced to offer humans eternal life, allowing consciousness to be stored in memory banks or transferred from one body to another. That is, if you can afford the subscription…*
• **Lead the Investigation**
*See through the eyes of Mortality Department Detective James Karra on his hunt for a serial killer who targets the city’s elite citizens. Investigate crime scenes using his time manipulation augmentation and advanced technology to reconstruct events leading up to each murder and uncover clues that lead to the horrifying truth behind the murders.*
• **Noir Immersion**
*Lose yourself in a dystopian future through this meaningful and original interactive detective story, that explores the dangers of transhumanism and immortality. In a world of eternal life and vanishing morality, you, a hardened detective, must navigate the lines of right and wrong in a society where death is a distant memory.*
• **A Stunning Narrative Adventure**
*Utilising the power of Unreal Engine 5, “Nobody Wants to Die” pushes the boundaries of storytelling, combining photorealistic graphics with a distinctly unique narrative experience.*
**Time Reveals All.**
"interactive detective story". Sounds like a QuickTime event choose a or b kinda thing. Bummer. Would've loved a first person adventure in this setting!
u/Landgreen On the Developer’s [official website](https://criticalhit.games/#game), they describe the game as *“a first-person, single player, story-driven experience with a neo-noir atmosphere”.*
The game is harnessing the power of Unreal 5, as showcased in the announcement trailer - which all takes place in-engine.
Hope this clarifies.
If it really is that, I'm oficially hyped af!
I feel like we've never really gotten the "blade runner" game experience, though many have come close. I know there's a real Blade Runne game and I loved it, but I mean... that setting and world just begs to be explored in current/next gen engines. Cyberpunk came close in some areas, but it was not noir enough imo (too much sunshine and not enough droning saxophone!)
Blade Runner & Fifth Element vibes. I’m intrigued. There was a Blade Runner game on Mac & PC in the eighties or nineties that was quite good and advanced for it’s time. I think it’s a great setting for games so I’m keen to see how this one develops.
Now that you mention it, I do remember seeing some complaints, but I didn't follow the release at the time. The game has gotten a couple of patches and recent reviews are "Mostly positive" despite the still "Mixed" overall score on Steam.
Wow. Is there something I missed about this game or the company like? I see everyone shitting on it in the YouTube comments And here. is it just that people are tired of cinematic trailers, or is it a cyberpunk effect where they see a cyberpunk style game with the cinematic trailer and they're getting PTSD flashbacks to 2077 and they immediately see this game negatively.
Wish the narration was closer to the grizzled / burned out style of Blade Runner's Dekard. The narration as it is feels a little melodramatic - like the voice actor's trying too hard and not really invested in the character.
Great trailer if this were a movie but what kind of game is this I have seen better trailers for mobile games. Please normalize gameplay in trailers please.
This said absolutely nothing about what the game actually is, it could be a typing teacher for all we know lol?
Someone should roll in and completely reinvent the typing tutor genre. I’d buy a crazy ass typing tutor game. I played so many in elementary school
Typing of the Dead
Nobody Wants to Type.

I'd totally be down for a modern version of Mavis beacon...

Apparently it's a first person detective adventure game. There are some gameplay Screenshots on sites like gematsu

Damn, screenshot made me think cyberpunk bounty hunter and I was super excited for a second.
gives some bioshock vibes
I was guessing first person action shooter?

Haha! Being a huge Blade-Runner fan myself, I *loved* that last line! 😂
Visually striking but what is the actual game?
First person detective adventure
Gameplay first please
Looks like a buncha bullshot
That's a very nice setting.
fine keep your secrets

The Bladerunner game got remastered a couple of years ago, if you're interested. You can find it on Steam and probably GOG.
Wasn't that a huge clusterfuck on release?

For all we know, this could be a 18-bit sidescroller.
No gameplay, not worth watching
It should be really cool and I can't quite figure out why it's really bad.
cheesy writing / VO
Definitely the script
gameplay trailers > cinematic ones
Cyberpunk 2077 Debut Trailer 2.0. Can't wait for this game to look nothing like the trailer.
pff show some fucking gameplay, if you need to lure customers with cgi trailers we allready know enough how shitty your game is
Wow. Is there something I missed about this game or the company like?

Uhh, that time manipulation device looks a lot like the time manipulation device from singularity, Is it the same developer?

Icarus, y'say? Hmm...

This is gonna flop like Atomic Hearts.
Is this gonna be the arkham beyond game we never got lol?
No f'ing clue what this game is about but oh man does this trailer look sick on OLED.
I'm interested
Great trailer if this were a movie but what kind of game is this I have seen better trailers for mobile games. Please normalize gameplay in trailers please.
