A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Immortality. FMV game which is closer to an interactive movie than a game. Included in xbox game pass.

It’s a mystery/thriller about an actress who has gone missing and whose films were never released. The gameplay involves scrubbing through clips of recovered movies/behind the scenes/extras and linking related people/objects to uncover more clips and more plot.

The lead actress is effectively playing four roles and she is absolutely incredible. I’ve found all the acting to be great but she is a stand out. I would typically find the idea of ‘watching’ a game more than ‘playing’ it to be a turn off but so far I have found it to be pretty enthralling and a great “in-between” for other games I’m playing.

Really highly recommend! Play with a controller though since the rumble is a hugely helpful part in finding ‘secrets’.

Be sure to check the list of content warnings though because there are some pretty intense scenes/themes
