According to the Animist's, everything is sapient to differing degree's. :D

TY for helping me lose the last 4 hours to an archive trawl... 🤦‍♂️ 🤣

The game mechanics are similar to most tactical MMORPG's, but it's the quality of the storytelling that stands out. :D

In the first section that you are sent to explore, the player is acting as an investigator/cleaner in an HP Lovecraft story. :D

What is also interesting from the pov of gameplay, is that you can only make some of the choices once in the main story arc. :D

Want to make different choices, you have to start again with a new character. :D

There's another good example in The Secret World :D

It's an early and ongoing experiment in machinima that stands out as being one of the few MMO's that was publicly LBTQ+ friendly. :D

It is known from interviews that some of the writers are fans of @cstross as is evidenced by the world-building for the main story arc. :D

@Dtl @dgerard @mii

The world-building in that narrative thread is extremely chewy. :D

Because of the silo-ed nature of the OCP bureaucracy, no-one really knows how many times that the world has been destroyed and re-built. :D

The guy with they eyes in his lab was just one of the specialist manufacturers.

He was the person that put the replicants in touch with the "genius tinkerer", who then gave the replicants access to Tyrell. :D
