Disco Elysium is distilled Eastern Europe.
I like how ULTRAKILL's Layer 7 really captures the culture and vibes of my home. Tel Aviv ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🤍💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍💙🤍💙
As I am from the Kingdom of Hyrule, there is a certain series of games that is pretty representative. Did I just dox myself?
Norco, the point-and-click adventure game that came out a few years back set in like, cyberpunk south Louisiana, is named after and very much based on the area I grew up in.
Norco, Louisiana is a real place whose name is an initialism of New Orleans Refining Company.
I chatted with the dev a bit after it came out. They seem like cool people.
It's weird seeing a place from real life that you recognize intimately in a video game.
That sounds interesting!
Is it similar to Disco Elysium?
Somewhat similar vibe.
It's more point and click adventure, but if you liked Disco Elysium, you might like Norco.
Remedy games have always had Finnish easter eggs and Finnish inside jokes but Control just made one of the main characters a big Finnish inside joke and piled on just about every reference and bit of word play you could think of
My Summer Car/My Winter Car are pretty accurate 90s rural Finnish town simulators I guess
Night in the Woods takes place in a very believable rustbelt town with characters that feel very true to my own experiences growing up in that area. The uh,
is maybe outside of the norm, but not as much as you'd think.spoiler
conservative uncle death cult thing
A Night In The Woods could've happened a few miles from where I grew up. Possum Springs felt spookily familiar.
