Militsioner on Steam
Every move you make is being followed by a Colossal Policeman. Anger, flatter, disappoint, deceive or even romance him to escape in this kafkaesque immersive sim.

I don't have kids, so I wonder how game developers who have children educate their kids about AI platforms like Roblox Build, Google Playground, Unity Spark, etc.

I find the slightly different emphases interesting: attraction and destruction. Before the candle and flame, sun was a common theme in idioms, such as Icarus and Kuafu, but for different reasons.

Sinnoware 🔶 Immersive Sim @sinnoware.bsky.social · 08/10/2026
The Chinese idiom is much older and has a stronger negative meaning: "Like a moth drawn to the flame, why should one hesitate to burn oneself? (如飛蛾之赴火,豈焚身之可吝)", Book of Liang (梁書), 636 AD. Someone does something that leads to one's own destruction.

In the English world, this idiom is commonly attributed to Shakespeare: "Thus hath the candle singed the moth", The Merchant of Venice, 1596 AD. Someone is irresistibly attracted to something's appearance (candle became flame in the 19th century and got a more negative meaning).

Random thread. The moth mutants in RetroSpace symbolize humanity that fly toward the light of false hope, a new home in the outer space. Like the idiom, "like a moth to a flame". It's commonly used in both the West and the East.

Yes, I blocked him years ago when I found out he’s one of the most racist game devs if not the most racist.

Rhell seems to be selling well in China. Earlier this year, I strongly recommended it to my imsim-loving friends; One of them made localization for it in August; Now sales in China seems to be 45% of the US's. I didn't do much in this process, but it's nice to see.

It’s the latest trend in vibecoded modding, running two games simultaneously and fusing them together (Brush Burial and Dishonored). 😔

How's everyone enjoying RetroSpace so far? This is the closest an indie immersive sim has ever come to System Shock 2 BioShock and Prey, I simply couldn't put it down.

RetroSpace is a wonderful mix of and homage to all the classic immersive sims. It's a very familiar game, but the purity and unique mix of mechanics that serve the immersive sim design make it stand out. My impressions of RetroSpace after 40 hours: 🔧🪩

I'm still writing my first impressions / mini review for RetroSpace but not able to finish it before sleep, having spent most of the day playing and giving feedback to the developers. It's already 3 am, see you all tomorrow.

Using sound as bait in RetroSpace. Enemies always chase to where the sound disappears instead of where the player made it, some of them also have cool AI behavior (moths find light to heal, pigs sniff blood for food), so it creates dynamic possibilities to bait them into death.

Saw some “Focus, G” comments about the *new* Garrett voice lines. “I can pick that guy off with an arrow, but if I miss, I’ll give myself away” is an unused line for the original game’s tutorial. Nightdive most definitely used it for trailer purposes.

‪I know little about the development of his games and if he managed the studio well so I’m not going to speculate and conclude that he failed and doesn’t deserve any type of investment. I just like that particular message that big indie productions continuing getting funded is more of a good thing.

Sinnoware 🔶 Immersive Sim @sinnoware.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
That's how most independent studios that make big games work, not every studio can be like Larian and IOI (and it still takes successful games and capital investment to get to their true indie position).

The next Deus Ex should be about how AI hallucination / deliberate AI deception started WW III.

Looking at the freedom SeverLink aims to provide, it could be a cool immersive sim-adjacent game if you’re more into Splinter Cell, Hitman, Metal Great Solid styled stealth.

Random thought: Jock's [redacted] in Deus Ex only comes a few missions later; Pavelock Prison in Thief 3 is only accessible if you're [redacted]. They are not designed to counter savescumming, living with your mistakes lets you experience deeper emotions and new content.

I've been following them on the bird site for a while, they seem legit. Development periods of the three games don't overlap, they probably gave up on the previous two games due to low wishlists, etc. That said, I always keep my expectations low until a game is released.
