You know all those books and literary analysis you had to do in Englidh class that you hated? Yeah what if we made a game about those guys? Oh and don't worry, we got guys from all over the globe, so we're going to make you relive that pain regardless if you're from Spain or Korea. Oh you liked that part of class? Good news! We made Rodion Raskinolov an anime waifu!

Alternatively: solving a centuries long race war in the only way we know how - with 13 year olds and 90's themed warfare! It's not a child soldier if the military doesn't know about it! We swear this is deadly serious we gave the kid a FN P90

I really want to know what this game is because it sounds amazing

First one's Limbus company - "waifu" Rodion is actually a really great character (she's a self proclaimed girlboss!) And English class probably isn't quite right - you probably don't read Korean post modern poetry or Camus or a Chinese 20k page critique of Confucianism and domestic abuse in a bog standard English class. It's also set in an absolutely batshit insane uber capitalist dystopia where magic may or may not exist and you can break the laws of physics by abusing human suffering. It's a deck building thing where you get to muck around with alt timeline versions of your 12 guys (the aforementioned literary main characters) and it's pretty fun. Don't know how else to really sell it. Meursault is there? And like a corporation version of the SCP foundation?

Second game is splatoon, specifically the second one because you get a gun that's a straight up a bright yellow PN-90 in the campaign mode. There isn't much to explain, splatoon's campaign is just, kinda like that and is a shitty way to sell the game because it's uh, primarily a multiplayer game.
