## Video Games
 
[cave story](https://www.cavestory.org/) this is the game that inspired me to want to become an indie dev and make games for a living. This is a link to the tribute site, but play the game. (q)

Dishonored and Dishonored 2. Steampunk stealth-action immersive sim. Super interesting world with a lot of detail in it. You use super powers to teleport, entering the bodies of people/animals, summon man-eating rats, etc. Very engaging with a lot of replay value. Choosing between either violent/non-violent and overt/non-overt approaches changes how the world is affected around you. Despite the game being about assassination, you can beat it without killing a single person. Highly recommend.

Hotline Miami and Hotline Miami 2. Sharp and expressive use of top down pixel art. Addicting gameplay. GOATED soundtrack. A story that seems simple on the surface but invites a lot of digging from the audience. The first game definitely has better gameplay and level design than the second game but the second one has a better score and story. It's a must-play for anyone who loves the video game medium.

Metal Gear Solid (1 through 3). What more is there to say? It's the greatest action-stealth franchise with kick-ass music, boss fights, and voice acting wrapped in a conspiracy thriller that becomes more relevant each year. I like 4 and 5 too but 1 - 3 are my favourites.

[yume nikki/yume 2kki](https://ynoproject.net/) yume nikki has real fucking aura man. I love this game and shows how unique games are as an art form. Creating a world for you to explore. Because of this novel idea there are many very cool games inspired from it, I have played many of them and their influences is in much of my work. The link is to an online project that allows you to play these amazing games in browser. (q)
