A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I feel like that game literally changed my life in the 2 hours or whatever it took me to play it.

That game is so beautiful. It made me a better person.

I was absolutely entranced.

My partner and I had VERY different experiences.

SPOILERS

I played and got a friend right away, my friend was VERY chirpy and led me around and when I had to poop I tried to communicate it and they KNEW… They were the perfect partner. I really felt like a made a deep connection with this person I couldn’t communicate with. I teared up and when their Steam name showed at the end credits I added them immediately and we have a long chat about our experience.

My partner? First friend joined, was a speedrunner. Just ran ahead without so much as a chirp. Nobody else was joining so we started over. Got another friend who randomly dropped out after a bit. Finally found another friend who also just left about 3/4 of the way through. Frustration; quit.

After I unlocked the White Robe I used to go back into games and find people. Then I'd just chill with them chirping, giving subtle hints on where things were, and being patient while floating around levels. It remains one of my favorite games of all time.

That’s totally what my person was doing, and they definitely had white robe. Bless you for making people’s experiences amazing. You’re the best kind of player!
