Happy Bday! I was late to the party on these, but maybe you were too. 2025 favs: Ted Chiang Exhalation, qntm Valuable Humans in Transit, qntm There Is No Antimemetics Division. I was not late to the party on the poet Christian BΓΆk who is worth looking up and has a variety of intriguing projects.

@xonk.bsky.social thanks for playing Chroma Zero! I'm glad you had a good time :)

There are a bunch of mitigation options you can try: steamcommunity.com/app/3121470/... midway down the page, search βnauseaβ. Also disabling the Depth of Field option will remove the small FOV shift when you look at an object. Hope some of that helps! I get it too sometimes.
I just fixed the text-popping (like the word "something" that starts typing and then drops to the next line) in my own game. It could be stylistic to leave it the way it is, but if you want to fix it there are a few different ways I found. I can send you the links.
Your tagline is better than mine!
If people hate it, thereβs always the original! I think Iβll enjoy the visuals and the narration. I played a few hours of the original so I got some taste of the text mechanics, it was cool.
Wishlisting Despelote. Iβd go finish Type Help but I kind of want to wait for the new steam editionβ¦
Also works while youβre in the shower, or when youβre dreaming!
