A Portopia remake with a similar "something old, something new" approach as last year's Okhotsk remake and by the same development team. Looks awesome. The Steam page is translated, but it doesn't appear to support any languages other than Japanese 😔

In case anyone missed my little X-Files point and click daydream

Mulder, Scully, Skinner, and the Lone Gunmen, all drawn in a cartoony style.

A hallway of an institute or something like that, with eldritch green light pouring in through a far window.

A car crests a hill at night. A figure with a shovel stands by the roadside.

My wife and I are watching a little bit of The X-Files again and I've been doodling
along.

Imagine if you will: a five act point-and-click where you switch between Mulder and Scully depending on what kind of clues and puzzles you're working with. The Lone Gunmen get their own episode during Act 4 but they all move together like a single character. Tone is 70% comedy 30% paranormal horror.

Scully: "Mulder, you can't combine those."
Mulder, trying to tie a stick of dynamite to a taxidermied pheasant using half a shoelace: "Ancient Roman augurs read omens into the flight paths of birds all the time, Scully."

Scully: LOOK AT Enormous Rotating Saucer Hovering Over the Town
Scully: "That's the second biggest weather balloon I've ever seen."

Scully: LOOKAT Fox Mulder's Docs Folder
OPEN Fox Mulder's Docs Folder
Scully: "Ah."
Mulder: "I get those for the articles."
Scully: "Yeah who doesn't love a juicy article."

Mulder LOOK AT Mysterious Skull
Mulder: "Seen this, Scully?"
Scully: "Artificial cranial deformation has been attested in numerous cultures,
Mulder. The practice results in elongated skulls and flattened foreheads."
Mulder: "Does it make the bones glow green?"

In A Perfect Day, a game about childhood in mainland China, you go to an Internet Café that also rents consoles per hour - the thing I keep saying was extremely popular in the global south. AFAIK English doesn't have a word for those, it's just "arcade", so English-speakers tend to overlook them...

Screenshot of the game A Perfect Day, showing two kids talking to a store owner. She tells them that to rent a Playstation console costs 2 yuan per person, so 4 yuan in total.
