Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

Voices of the Void (VotV) is an early-access indie horror simulation video game. The player controls a scientist tasked with operating an observatory that detects radio signals from space. As time passes, the player experiences unusual events, such as encounters with extraterrestrial life.

Aliens making prank calls and throwing a flaming bag of poop at your doorstep, probably.

Not unlikely. The game is full of horror but also plenty of gags and memes

[–] GroupNebula563@indie-ver.se 2 points 2 months ago

to clarify: it’s mostly psychological horror, a lot of the silly stuff is optional/easter eggs. either way a very fun experience! :)

It's a fun little indie game where you look for signals from space (and sometimes they look for you)

You can get it here if you feel so inclined :P

Haven't played it myself yet, but it's a fun watch when peeps like Criken and the Librarian play.

Awesome to see it get more popular.

I got started with all his Garry's Mod VR stuff and was hooked from there. Granted it to me two years after that to even boot GM up in VR lol

Would be cool to see VOTV in VR too!

[–] GroupNebula563@indie-ver.se 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I believe there has been talk of a VR mod :P

Yassss!!! While I am more fond of the quirky side of VotV (the aforementioned Criken2 streams), the atmosphere of the game is something else.
