Yeah then throw me into the fire, I'm sure it'll be great

Thanks, Caz!

So I've been playing Gnosia today.

Spoiler: Some "Choice" Screenshots from first day playing (contains images from Loop 1 to Loop 11) (click to show/hide)

The Credits page is very pretty.

Only four people worked on this game. Not counting the Playism localization.


Time to put together a build!


Shit that was fast.


How far you can scroll on the backlog is tied to your logic stat, that's pretty good.

I've never seen a backlog game mechanic before.


The cast in this game is all over the place.

(Shige is pretty good.)


Please trust me.


When things go very well for town.

That's not always the case...


When things go to complete shit for town.

AC Followers are mafia-allies, they're humans that side with gnosia. Nasty.

Cat. Looks comfy...


When scum gotta bus, they gotta bus.

(I never want Raqio as a scum partner again.)


Your stat book is incredibly useful and keeps track of voting records and important discussions for you each loop.

Engineers are cops and Doctors check the alignment of players put into cold sleep. There's more roles than that but those are the two I have records for right now.

Lastly...



Every character has a stat page that describes their personality and abilities. You'll learn more about each person as you play with them. I'm assuming that means everybody has "towntells" and "scumtells" just like in a real mafia game.

Very cool so far.

Veckle wishes to play >:V

I just started the first Danganronpa. Just started as in ... just finished the prologue!

It looks interesting, but I don't own a Switch and I refuse to get one.

[heydude6]

Wait, is this game single-player or multiplayer? The character interactions give me single-player vibes, but the fact that there are multiple rounds with different possible outcomes give me multiplayer ones.

Dangit Ron Paul is pretty good. I actually like recommending DR as a first time VN to people since it tricks them into playing one.

If you know Japanese it's also on the Vita.

Otherwise yeah a PC port would be cool. Right now it's Switch exclusive here.

Gnosia is just single player. A loop takes like 20 minutes to finish generally (so far).

It's not exactly like Raging Loop which is full visual novel with a much slower pace and no real gameplay elements.

The way the story develops in Gnosia reminds me of Sting's Baroque, if that comparison doesn't make any sense then a more recent example would be Hades. You learn more stuff as you keep doing loops and playing games, the players' roles change, players get added, players get removed. It's like reading a VN except you're constantly trying to suss out mafia so you can win and get more story (or if you're gnosia to trick and kill everyone).

Mafia but roguelike?

Congrats to Meph for reaching exactly 16000 posts.


Neat! Also, Bwahahahah, I can reply to this without breaking the post #!

[notquitethere]

Ahaha that's perfect use of post editing powers.

Here's a question All-- would there be interest in playing a Resistance/Avalon type game? You know, a hidden role game where you vote to send people on missions that either pass or fail instead of just eliminating one another?

We did a variant of this some years back, GlyphGryph ran a game called Worse Things Happen At Sea. I seem to recall it was a fun challenge.

[heydude6]

I just finished a ton of schoolwork, so I'd be down if I don't become busy again.

[Mephansteras]

Oh, hey, Resistance! That's a neat idea. I should come up with a good version of that to mod. The flavor for that kind of set-up would be a lot of fun to write.

Not saying you shouldn't run it yourself, of course. Just that I may also do something like that in the future.

GlyphGryph also ran Viva la Revolucion! which was fun.

...I played this too? What the fu-

The Gnosia setup is interesting, I'd be curious how well it would work as a game with human players. The lack of roleflips means it's a lot more profitable for the mafia or mafia-ally to contest roleclaims.

I could write down the setup. It's very similar to the Raging Loop setup so I could just rework that.
