The graphics look very Sierra-like but without dead-ends and abundance of deaths, I definitely have to play it!

I don’t even know why people bother with realistic graphics at all.
Recently I tried the re-release of Mafia 1. Great graphics, but in most other aspects it’s either slightly worse or worse than the original. Imagine what you could do with all the energy spend on the graphics…

Exactly. You don’t need details in the backgrounds, because during dialogs you can zoom on the faces… The backgrounds only need to set the mood…

in hq4x (available via the options) it’s great :slight_smile:

I don’t know if this is just nostalgia but what I liked about DOS-games from an era with simpler graphics (e.g. EGA) were that backgrounds often were black, especially in caves or at night. You could imagine yourself the horrors awaiting you in the darkness.
In more modern games everything is shown, no mystery, less adventure to expect etc.

Oh no no no no, stop that horror!

I’ve been following the development for a while. It’s from Machineboy, the maker of Milkmaid of the Milky Way (currently on sale btw.).

Embracelet is avaible on Steam (Windows only) and Switch.
No DRM-free version yet though.

This is part of the same jam I’ve submitted Duty First to.

There are some gems there. Have a look also at Hair of the dog, Loco Motive, Elia. They’re all extremely fun and very good looking!
