HN comment orderReminds me of a game I used to play called Space Station 13. It's a completely unique game. Imagine a giant game of Among Us, but with the engine complexity of Dwarf Fortress. Most servers are high level roleplay, where each player has a role (doctor, janitor, captain, clown, etcetera) and the rounds play out until chaos ensues (theme changes each round, but it could anything from station terrorists to a wizard causing bedlam). This YouTuber really expresses it better…
This is amazing. So many easter eggs to click through. If you're a fan of this type of art, https://www.reddit.com/r/wimmelbilder/ is full of good stuff.
