Dear Indie games,
You have captured my heart...
Don't get me wrong; we had our issues. I'd hear rumors from those outside of the gaming world telling me you weren't good enough, you weren't very special or fun as company. You were too one dimensional and simplistic to enjoy.
Foolishly I listened and stuck with my AAA brethren year after year. And similar to a Hollywood movie (boy gets the girl in the end) most were beginning to blend together.
Gun toting bad-ass saves the girl...again. Female warrior shatters stereotypical roles and saves the world...again. Granted, these titles were fun, I always felt like I was missing something; I felt the
need for variety and depth. I decided to test the waters...then I found you.
<3 Indie games <3
Just the name alone puts a smile on my face and sunshine in my heart. Although skeptical at first, you proved the naysayers wrong. Me included. You showed me how to feel again. So many feels #biblethump. Your simplistic approach to adventures took me on roller coaster rides. Your hypnotic way of telling a story painted a masterpiece picture in my mind. What I'm trying to say is...
I love you...
From the heartbreaking and brilliant Valiant Hearts to the mysteriously haunting Five Nights at Freddy's; At times, the latter was 2Spooky4me O.O
The immersive tale of A Wolf Among Us, tragically beautiful SOMA, the melancholy conclusion of Among The Sleep, the coming of age, supernatural drama of Life is Strange....
Love it, love it, love it, love it!
No matter how you decide to present yourself or what moral or message lay beneath the surface of the story you tell, just know this. You may take on many forms, colors, shapes and sizes, changing every so often. My love for you never will.
Forever yours,
Kaitality
