On time this time :)

Whatcha been playing! After uploading my 3ds spot pass data I've been on a wario ware gold binge, trying to complete all missions in the game.

which didn’t catch with me but did suggest I might actually be able to enjoy a card-based system with enough narrative context to keep me interested.

FYI, you can learn bits and pieces about Slay's lore through the various events that come up. A pretty large chunk of lore comes up upon one particular respawn/new run.

That's cool. I do enjoy lore, but more in an "explain it to me on YouTube" kind of way than an "uncover it organically through gameplay" way. I need characters, acts, and arcs to be immediately engaged.

I'm guessing maybe you don't like detective games in which you have to uncover the plot yourself. I suppose it's all about the method of presentation for me.

The most recent detective game I played (if it qualifies as such for you) was Paradise Killer, which surprisingly I enjoyed quite a bit. Again though, the lore has close ties to the interpersonal relationships of all the characters on the island.

I tried it and I just... couldn't get into it... It's sure incredibly stylish, though!
