I want to play more games like it! Can you help me find some?
I've described Gordy as "Zelda-like" but more specifically here are some things I was trying to do, even if I didn't succeed at all of them:
- New or underutilized setting/theme. Steam didn't even have a "Halloween" tag!
- I don't want to kill things. Preferably no combat, but at the very least not swords/guns again.
- Free exploration. Soft gates rather than hard. Player knowledge gates rather than collectibles.
- No explicit tutorials. Games should be mysterious! Let me figure it out. (Help me figure it out.)
- New items with their own rules, e.g. not the hookshot again. Hookshot again is not mysterious.
- Minimal text/exposition.
I've already played A Short Hike. It's great! Tunic is probably the next closest match I've played. It's also great! What else is out there?
