Video games are not mere time killers. They are albums of sound, aesthetics, animation and narrative.
This community is in appreciation of that. Screenshots, fanart, animations, gameplay clips. It is all welcome here.
The one common thread should be an eye for the aesthetic. This is not a place to discuss mechanics or stats, but to show off simply the artistic, expressed through the video game medium.

Love this game so much.
It’s weird that they don’t give you the names in the US version, but you can input them. Randi, Primm, and Popoi for the guy, the girl, and the sprite.
I used to think they were misgendering the sprite, but it’s an agender fae creature that resembles a human child and wears something like a dress (could be a robe).
I wonder if anyone else played like I did. I did love the music but my mother had Enya tapes and I’d listen to them along with the game. Some of those songs really fit! Having Pax Deorum from Memory of Trees playing when you’re in that weird temple… or the witch’s forest… a bit cooler than her more upbeat songs playing during the overworked scenes.
I used to love inadvertently rescoring games back in the day! Hell, that's what led to my discovering that the music during boss battles, etc. was specifically chosen to increase anxiety/tension. I've been muting/altering those scenes and then some (as needed) ever since 🤪
