Any kind of game
EDIT: changed from suggested to mentioned and made the title more clear
Powder by Jeff lait. I think you can get it at a website called zincland or something?
It’s an old school roguelike that absolutely slaps, though its gotten significantly harder to play since the wiki stopped being hosted
I was just playing Powder a few weeks ago! My friend and I used to play on a work laptop during slow periods, and I got nostalgic for it.
Had some good fun with unidentified ring of polymorph, don’t remember that from 2010.
There was an old card game I learned around 2003ish called Spite & Malice, involving 2 full decks of cards for 2 players. Was just a ton of fun, but it’s faded from memory and the ruleset I found online once didn’t match the one I played.
I never see Cultist Simulator recommended but it’s one of my favorites. It really captures the idea of studying the esoteric arts, and has a surprising amount of world building given how simple the presentation is.
Cultist simulator made me depressed. I simply cannot play it.
So if I’m not counting close friends recommending games to me as “mentioned on the internet” probably Crystal Project, according to Steam. Otherwise, we’d need to go back to things that I was told about by family members way back in the day that I both like and haven’t seen mentioned online since, which is trickier. Thief The Dark Project, possibly?
If you haven’t played Thief: The Dark Project I recommend it and its sequels. Don’t play Thief (no subtitle) though, it’s AAA garbage.
