Alright so you're probably like "hiiro wtf is this another stuffty indie game that's not gonna get a nice OP?" and to that I say "ayup"

anyways this game is like super in depth.

Like REALLY in depth.

like wtfbbq in depth.

goblet grotto is amazing. your grotto toad constantly communicates its mental states to you via a series of 5 glyphs at the top of the screen, somewhat like the old game “Captain Blood” in which you communicate by proxy to strange beings. click the screenshots for the translated glyphs in the captions.

your grotto toad starts so fresh and innocent, often starting the game by saying something like “HELLO / HELLO FRIEND / TOAD / GOBLET / HELLO”

and then further into the caverns, once your toad has been savaged by skeletons and wolves and crocodiles and goblet men, and you’ve been murdering npcs for their meat, and your toad is so depressed that he’s crawling instead of running, he’ll start saying things like “DESPAIR / DESPAIR / I DON’T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING / DEATH / DEATH” or “I REGRET EVERYTHING / I HAVE BEEN SUBMERGED IN FILTH / I HAVE BEEN SUBMERGED IN FILTH / DEATH DEATH DEATH / DEATH”


The game is extremely non-linear so you can do a lot.

You need to eat, and you need to sleep to regain health. If there's a long period of not eating/sleeping/finding goblets you get debilitated, fix that by finding out what your toad needs and getting goblets/eating/sleeping

Any questions?


PRAY WHEN YOU GET TO ALTARS!

uh
this looks kinda

no i'm just going to be completely honest here: this looks like pure and utter feces.

This game is so good thoug :x


You guys all liked LSD Dream Simulator and it looked like stuff.


What happened to "graphics don't make the game"

I'm disappointed Blockland Forums.



EDIT: My first playthrough I ended up fighting the Messiah of Crime and his gaurds.

The guards killed me :I
but it was cool because all the game I was going through this crime infested area, starting with Thievery and ending with Jumping Murdering Jumpers.


I just married a princess wut wut

Just took a peek at a random gameplay vidya and I'm just wondering what's that annoying noise and that thing at the top mean? :I

no it's just that i don't even have the slightest idea what this game is about
people didn't LIKE lsd dream simulator, they thought it was extraordinairy because you'll almost never find a game like it again. it's one of those games you can call legendary, like big rigs, because you'll most likely never find a game that is more unfinished than it.

also the graphics in this game can't be called graphics
they're just horrid
but that isn't the main issue lol

The noise tells you that the frog is speaking, it's kind of annoying, but the glyphs all mean a word or phrase that the frog is trying to tell you about the situation. Like if he gets hungry, if he needs Goblets, if he is scared, if he thinks someone is lying. A translation of most of the glyphs can be found in the Handbook that comes with the game.

The game is about a frog who sets out to collect Goblets.
This game is as massive as LSD, it boasts 2000 hours of gameplay. I've been playing for 3 days now and I haven't seen the same place twice (aside from starting area)
it's insane.

And yeah, you can call them graphics. It's supposed to be a basic rundown of the area and it gives you a description on the right of the screen of what's going on or extra detail.

Trust me guys, this game is good.

LSDDS was a play station one game; it had hardware limitations that it still took full advantage of to make it all the creepier
this game looks like ass and there was clearly little to no effort put into the "graphics"
that reflects the overall quality of the game very well

They put no effort into the graphics, don't put quotation marks around it because they literally are graphics, so they can make so much stuff.


How about this - Minecraft.
