To the Moon

March 12, 2023 | Reading time: 2 minutes

To the Moon is an experience. Released in 2011, just when indie games were exploding, I had never played anything like it before or since. It's an RPG, but there's no combat. It's kind of a visual novel, but there's some interactivity. The main draw is the story.

Nephise Begins

March 11, 2023 | Reading time: ~1 minute

Nephise Begins is a walking simulator, and not a great one. Like all walking simulators, there's not much gameplay here. However, Nephise Begins al doesn't have much of a story to carry it along and that makes it not worth playing.

Titan Quest: Anniversary Edition

March 11, 2023 | Reading time: ~1 minute

Titan Quest: Anniversary Edition is a rerelease of the original Titan Quest. It's an ARPG in the vein of Grim Dawn and Torchlight. Being a fan of the genre, and of the games mythological setting, I was really excited to play this one. Unfortunately, I didn't have a great time.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky

March 5, 2023 | Reading time: 2 minutes

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky is an offshoot of the main Pokemon series, and is the third expanded version of Explorers of Time and Darkness (in the vein of Emerald, Platinum, etc). The Mystery Dungeon series is what it says on the title - you and a partner Pokemon delve into...

Kirby's Return to Dreamland Deluxe

February 26, 2023 | Reading time: 2 minutes

Kirby's Return to Dreamland Deluxe is a remake of the 2011 Wii original, and includes some new content, namely an epilogue featuring Magolor as a playable character. I've never played the original, but decided to give this remake a try as I'm a somewhat recent Kirby convert and always enjoy the...

Fester Mudd and the Curse of the Gold - Episode 1

February 22, 2023 | Reading time: ~1 minute

Fester Mudd seems like a perfectly adequate, if a little clunky, adventure game. It's got a western theme, nice music, and plays like the old school Lucasarts adventure games.

About

My name's Mike, and this is the Lore Depository - my spot online where I can write out my thoughts on games, books, tech, movies, and anything else I find interesting.

My biggest project is my Game Library Project. I have a ton of games collected throughout the years, and have barely played any of them. Check out the linked post to learn more about the project, and click here to be taken to the category page where you can see all my posts for the project.

Another project I'm working on is my Pokemon Living Dex Challenge, where I try to obtain one of each available Pokemon and transfer them into Pokemon Home.

Yet another project I'm working on is my Old School RuneScape "Completionist" Quest, where I'm attempting to max out all skills and see everything the game has to offer as a completely new player.

Other content comes mainly in 3 forms:
• Reviews, where I post longer-form review writeups
• Thoughts, short & quick first impressions posts
• Guides, detailed how-tos and walkthroughs
