    Heya folks, here's a 5th Short featuring Masquerada: Songs and Shadows by Witching Hour Studios and Ysbryd Games. So, I'm like... 14h into the game now, and it's gotten super dark. People dying left and right, and it's quite bleak. #masqueradasongsandshadows #videogames #indiegames #rpg #shorts

    Disco Elysium is a game that was so good, so good that sadly it won't get a sequel and I'm heartbroken by this. Also: "Masquerada: Songs and Shadows". More people should know about it.

    Playing indie games means that you'll find the game that can emotionally wreck you and haunts your mind for weeks but only about 3 other people in the entire world have played it. This is about Masquerada. This is also about Forgotton Anne

    Not sure whether I love or hate that all modern games have a big "LOOK OUT, THE END OF THE GAME IS COMING" warning #gameing #masquerada

    I'm finding Masquerada: Songs and Shadows to be massively underrated so far. It's billed as a tactical rpg, but it plays almost like a visual novel with occasional combat. The plot is very linear so far - I'm several chapters into the first act - but also very engaging. The setting is original pseudoitalian fantasy, where there are mystical masks that grant elemental abilities. #gameing #masquerada

    #RPGamer reveals its impressions on a real treat of setting, story & narrative with pauseable real-time action orientated tactical combat #RPG Masquerada: Songs & Shadows. https://rpgamer.com/2019/06/masquerada-songs-and-shadows-impression/ The reviewer doesn't seem to mention the fact that you can pause the action, plan out the moves for you and your AI companions and then watch your tactical plans come to life. It can be played purely in realtime but there is a lot going on. #game #Masquerada

    Last week, I finished »#Masquerada«. It might have the best voice acting I've ever witnessed in a game. Also, its story and the way of telling it are unique and complex. I enjoyed it a lot. Sadly, the combat system didn't feel that rich and became somewhat stale in the long run. Furthermore, there were literally no choices in the game at all, let alone meaningful ones. If those two things would've been better, it might have actually been a masterpiece. Maybe sequel potential? :) #VideoGames
