“Boomer shooter” is the latest term to follow the likes of “Roguelike” or “Soulslike” in the realm of hyperspecific gaming subgenres. It applies to first-person shooters that intentionally harken back to the classic PC games of the late ‘90s like Doom and Quake.

I was gifted a very unique game in this style, called "Forgive Me Father". I believe it was created by a single person and is extremely well designed and scary. If you haven't checked that out, I would highly suggest it.

It was one of my first posts. I am excited about about Forgive me Father II. The story and the art are well done (putting it mildly). I’m trying to get an interview with the dev so I can write an article on the second one and stream it on release.
