unlabelledView post →Tried out the alpha demo of Rue Valley (thanks, @translatoralexa.bsky.social!) and found it to be an intriguing game that at first very clearly reminds you of Disco Elysium, only for it to go in a completely different direction. Looking forward to it (and, hopefully, with a Spanish translation!).

unlabelledView post →1) Rue Valley alpha Disco-likes continue on, this time by Owlcat. First I thought "holy shit, Owlcat in my DMs". The demo is short, but it sets up the core concept well enough, stopping just as the plot starts. Fucking DEVASTATINGLY uncomfortable in those few minutes though (complimentory)
unlabelledView post →I finished Rue Valley. Ultimately it's a very moving, though flawed game. I'd recommend it once a few fixes have rolled out (and possibly at a discount)... but I enjoyed myself and think much of it will stay with me. I wrote some thoughts in a Steam review here - steamcommunity.com/id/outline01...

unlabelledView post →Hello, Blue Sky! We are Emotion Spark Studio, and we are here with our upcoming game, Rue Valley. It's an isometric narrative RPG about a man who was forced to undergo psychotherapy, but somehow ended up stuck in a time loop.
unlabelledView post →I refuse to play that game on principle. Besides- We're already getting better Disco Elysium-inspired games, and there're already quite a few out there! Really wanna try out Rue Valley, for instance.

unlabelledView post →Rue Valley is launching tomorrow! A link to my review is below but here's a brief summary: PROS: Strong narrative, time loop works well, fluid character stats & it's very well written. CONS: Annoying late game quests & ending didn't hit for me. Overall I had a good time with the game. :)

unlabelledView post →Hi everyone! If you haven’t played Rue Valley yet but are planning to soon, could you take a moment to fill out Movember’s survey before and after you finish the game? Your feedback would really help their research. And if you have finished the game already, you can fill out the survey too!
unlabelledView post →Started Rue Valley. Far from Disco Elysium-tier writing, but I'm enjoying it. It's definitely an adventure game, with the barebones stats there just to be manipulated to solve puzzles. Mixed Steam reviews feel like they're coming from people expecting an RPG because of the DE comparisons.
unlabelledView post →The time loop mechanic seems interesting at first, but after two hours it starts to get annoying, as do the empty characters. It's funny, but now I want to install Disco Elysium, play this game for the hundredth time, and forget about Rue Valley.
unlabelledView post →It’s been an amazing week for our team! Seeing you all playing Rue Valley and sharing your stories, and reading your feedback about our game—it’s the best experience we could have as developers. (1/8)
unlabelledView post →Rue Valley is an isometric adventure game heavily inspired by Disco Elysium!

unlabelledView post →Rue Valley Disco Elysium by way of misanthropy and time loops. This slow-burn narrative game starts off deeply cynical, and I’m curious to see where it’s going to end up in the final version. store.steampowered.com/app/2126190/...
unlabelledView post →We're live with Rue Valley!!! I've wanted to play this game for awhile so I'm excited to finally get the chance, its very Disco like, apparently, so its extremely up my alley :3 www.twitch.tv/kyriathanatos
unlabelledView post →Rue Valley is great when it's leaning into being a time-looping adventure game rather than an RPG, and there's some real golden snooping to be had here while it lasts.

unlabelledView post →My Rue Valley review is live. I loved it. Without getting into spoilers, some parts of the game didn’t land with me but overall, it’s a great RPG medium.com/dar-games/ru...
unlabelledView post →Rue Valley! This one is coming out soon and its like a mix of the movie Palm Springs and Disco Elysium. Very good, brief demo that really sells it. Seance at Blake Manor, lots of hype about this one, a puzzle detective game. Constance, coming out soon but this one has been on the radar for a while

unlabelledView post →I know exactly the one you're talking about and its killing me that I can't remember the name of it either! Wait a sec... RUE VALLEY!!! Can you believe that googling "time loop motel game" actually got the answer to that? Fucking wild!
unlabelledView post →Reading the negative Rue Valley reviews confuses me. I feel like I played a different game from everyone else.
unlabelledView post →Anyone played Rue Valley? How is the game? It looks interesting and I don't want to check reviews. I want to play it without knowing much of anything about it but with the Mixed reviews on Steam I'm wondering if it's good or not
unlabelledView post →Maybe it's not a bad game and it does have some cool moments, but thanks to the advertising, my expectations were let down. Rue Valley is not even close to Disco Elysium.
unlabelledView post →New game released: Rue Valley - 10% off Just finished the demo, fun premise, cool graphics, story, good voice acting, looking forward to playing it more. Time loop RPG while being depressed. store.steampowered.com/app/2126190/...

unlabelledView post →I just finished Rue Valley and it is a really special game...well visual novel. Using a time loop and a mental health loop as two parts of a whole is genius writing and everything about that aspect of the game is near perfect. It's not perfect and I think the "Disco-like" moniker is wrong but...

unlabelledView post →A few hours in and Rue Valley could make my top 5 games this year. I wish for a few QoL stuff and less clunkly mouse and keyboard movement but the writing is just so good and understanding of what its doing. Everyone will have something they'll relate to and this game will be therapy to them.

Am I gonna' plop down coinage for the full game on launchday? 👀 Find out. twitch.tv/beast2plate #HiddenGem #CozyHorror #GameDiscovery #Streamer
unlabelledView post →Rue Valley from Owlcat Games looks interesting. The game has a mental health focus, and their story team includes a medical professional to ensure it’s authentic. I hope they produce a macOS port. https://ruevalley.com #RueValley #OwlcatGames
unlabelledView post →Rue Valley [PC - 76] www.metacritic.com/game/rue-val... "Rue Valley is a clever, daring time loop game filled with mental puzzles and meaningful choices. The repetition demands some patience, but its strong story and fresh mechanics make it absolutely worth your time." - Gameliner
