As it should be. Glad the club will be finishing out the series, even if I don't dive back in myself.
Have fun with The Blackwell Epiphany, good those playing it can finish off the series with the club. That will give me chance to catch up and finally finish Kentucky Route Zero with the last episode
It looks like my two previous nominations, still to be seconded, don't have enough appeal for the club. Here's a couple more that could perhaps replace them if they don't get seconded this round.
My new nominations:
Whispers of a Machine
Observation
I'll add my vote (second or third) to Inner World, Morningstar: Descent to Deadrock, Anna's Quest, and Fred Pohl's Gateway.
I know very little about it but to get into the nomination game: The Journey Down - Chapter One
I'm sorry for not remembering the process, Eleima, but where do games that are not in this list of nominations and that have been in past votes (like Lamplight City, for example) stand? Are they out of the race because they did not get voted?
In any case, I'll back Observation and Morningstar.
I don't remember if this was every in the mix, but I'd like to nominate Detective Grimoire.

I've not heard of that game but I like the sound of it! - Seconded
I'll put in for Whispers, Observation, and Detective Grimoire as well.
Observation was actually released in May 2020, which kinda breaks our one year rule, but it looks to be accessible enough (currently 8€ on sale) so into the list it goes.
Thanks Eleima, you're the best too
Just to correct (I did my due diligence) that Observation was an Epic game store exclusive for a year and released there in May 2019, the Steam version came a year later. Easy to miss as Steam state their release dates according to their platform, so 2020 in this case.
Thirding Whispers of a Machine. I've had it on the wishlist for a bit, now.
Observation is also on GamePass for PC (not sure whether it is on console as well or not).

It is; I own it on PS4 and it's on XB1.
Thanks Eleima! You're right that the list is linked in the OP, I must have missed that.
Thanks Eleima, my votes have been cast
Thank you for creating a tie. ;)
Hopefully I just broke the tie?
Also, looking at the list of games and the HLTB times...I am amazed that I've never finished ANY of these games, even when I was younger and had more time to game. That's why I love the idea of this thread existing, I'm actually getting through some of these because I have the motivation to participate in this thread.
I doubt my vote will break any ties since there's only 1 game I've beaten before, several I was already interested in (and possibly have started without finishing), and the rest look amazing as well. Glad I'm finally tracking this thread to participate!
Aye, you did. Yes, it's true, HLTB does give short times for a lot of these games. That being said, you have to put it back in context. We were young, some of the puzzles are really out there. Like clamp on a rope in a duckie flotation device with a Band-Aid on it. As I recall, that was the case with Zak, and my sister and I never got very far, I think we fed some wild animal something, did some digging in a wall and ended up in a dark cave and that was that.
Ha, very true. I just checked and was shocked that the HLTB for Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis is 8-9 hours. That game took me months to get through when I was younger.
So we got the tie done early this time
Can't wait to see what the winner is, it might even push me to actually finish KR0 so I can play along with the club this month!
OK, I have no excuse not to get started on Observation next week, as I nominated it! I'm looking forward to playing and hopefully, it's a goody
