Eleima, thanks so much for the Silent Age!
Congrats Fuzzyslug!
Even though The Blackwell Legacy didn't win this month, it caught my eye and I decided to look it up on Steam... where it was on sale for one dollar, so I bought it, started to play, and before I knew it, I had finished it. It was a very enjoyable short story!
You were right!!
Has anybody here looked at Mage's Initiation: Reign of the Elements? I had noticed it years ago, and recently saw that it finally released on Steam. It reminds me of Quest for Glory; I'm curious if anyone tried it and liked it.
The poll is ready, the write up is ready, and I am so READY for your folks to see the poll for next month. Can't wait. Might post tonight, just because.
YAY!
Console availability: Subsurface Circular (Switch), Thimbleweed Park (XBO/PS4/Switch), The Sexy Brutale (XBO/PS4/Switch).
Also, just as a heads up that the Epic Games store will have Thimbleweed Park for free starting (I think) next week and lasting for two weeks.
Voted! Crossing fingers for The Sexy Brutale.
Just finished Sexy Brutale a couple days ago. Very cool atmosphere, fun mechanics, nice design.
I saw Eleima post about this on twitter, and since I've got some of these in my backlog/wishlist already, I figured I'd see about joining in. Voted (for Subsurface Circular, Timbleweed Park, and Gemini Rue).
Still have a session or two left in Rime I reckon. 100% completion rate will come to an end this month as probably skipping Pillars. Especially as half of that new list would be up for playing, have picked top 3 most keen to play.
If folk want to vote Sexy Brutale, Red Strings Club or Subsurface Circular that'd be ideal, ta.
Also side note. Gemini Rue, Thimbleweed Park and Blackwell Legacy I know are all on mobile. Blackwell played nicely on tablet.
What a great list of options! I voted for three and I'd be delighted to play any of them.
Just to repeat an earlier PSA, if we end up playing Sexy Brutale, try to avoid the Switch version. Performance isn't great, and that's coming from someone who's usually oblivious to that kinda thing. I'll put it this way; sometimes when the devs tweet about the game, they'll follow up with "We know about the issues with the Switch version."
To be clear, I love the game. So I'd say it's better to play it on Switch than not at all, but if you've any other option, I'd go for that.
**QUESTION**FEEDBACK**REQUEST**
So. What do we do if the poll ends and there's a tie for first place? Do you folks want me to kinda make an executive decision? Or a do a second poll with a "one vote per person" rule?
Personally, I enjoy the voting process, so I'd be very happy to vote again to pick a winner.
I gotta say, I was very disappointed this month when I saw that I was "Done", and not "Terminé"...
I played The Sexy Brutale shortly after it came out a couple of years ago, and it is was great (and incredibly difficult for me to figure out). So I might have voted for something else...
Second vote sounds good or you could flip a coin and tell us the result mb.

Executive decision!
I'm fine with executive decision or some other arbitrary tie-breaker (tie goes to the older game?). Or a second poll if necessary.
I just can't believe there's a full-fledged Jane Jensen adventure out there that I missed entirely. Going to have to play Gray Matter in the coming months whether it makes it as a club pick or not.
I bought Gray Matter on Amazon *way* back when. I have to see whether it's still there in some sort of downloadable format
Toss a coin Eleima, we trust you.
Just don't go all Thread Emergency on us when Memoria does not win.
I suggest executive decision. Any one of us could decide not to participate, but I expect you would participate regardless of the choice, so it seems fair that you have slightly more say in the matter.
