Outcore: Desktop Adventure
Developer: Doctor Shinobi
Out: Q3 2022
Oh this looks so spectacularly messed up. A game that appears to live on your Windows desktop, using pre-installed Windows apps to solve puzzles, where you’re tasked with recovering a female character’s missing memories by finding files on your PC. One of my all-time favorite games, OneShot, did an amazing job of meddling with Windows to incredible effect, so I’m really intrigued to see how much farther Outcore can take this. Although looking at the trailer… Also of note: the game’s store page mentions, “Experience a story with the worst characters ever written.”
