I'd heard of the Wizardry series before Daphne, but had never tried any of the games.

I picked up Daphne to check it out and... 25+ hours later? I think I'm PRETTY fond of its game-play (gatcha notwithstanding).

It makes me want to check out other games like it, so... Etrian Odyssey, anyone?

Wizardry Variants Daphne is free-to-play on PC and smartphone, but DOES use gatcha mechanics to let players acquire new characters like Yuzunamiki. You can use in-game currency or real-world currency.

The banner featuring Yuzunamiki is available for 24 more days as of this post, ending Nov. 30.

"Wizardry Variants Daphne" is the most recent iteration of the 40+ years old dungeon-crawling #Wizardry series, and has just released a new fox-folk character:

Yuzunamiki, the Pinnacle of the Flower District.

I think it was originally made in Standard Definition, but it looks like Netflix and Amazon MIGHT have it in higher quality.

But if you don't mind SD quality...

It caught my eye when I saw it years and years ago, and apparently I wasn't the only one. @realgdt.bsky.social Also noted it back in 2019.

It's directed by Shuhei Morita (who would go on to work on the Tokyo Ghoul anime) and was shown dubbed on Adult Swim for a #Halloween special.

If you're looking for something #spooky this month, you may want to check out Kakurenbo: Hide and Seek", a short CG #anime from 2004.

It features 7... or wait, 8? children in fox masks who dare visit an abandoned city section to play a "modified" version of the title game.

#Fox #Foxes #Kitsune #狐

The poster for the CG animated movie Kakurenbo: Hide and Seek. Eight children wearing fox masks stand in front of the entrance to a supposedly abandoned part of town, where kids are said to play hide and seek... and not return.

Three of the main characters of Kakurenbo stare at something that's a little concerning.

I mentioned the #Fuga series before, but look! It's on sale on steam! 50% off the 1st and 2nd game, and 10% off the 3rd game.

I bought 1 on Steam (and 3 on Switch) but it might be time to consolidate my collection.

I have yet to start the #Fuga series, but it is definitely on the list of game to check out (and stream, when able).

That said, anyone that already has Fuga 3 might be interested in this DLC, and anyone that wants to TRY 3 might want to check out the demo.

Asterigos is available for 11 USD right now, in the Humble Soulslike bundle.

www.humblebundle.com/games/humbli...

I have 11 hours in it so far, and... Vulcane aside, I feel the combat is pretty decent, and I like the ancient Rome inspired level designs.

#Asterigos #Tinybuild #AcmeGameStudio

Fox Tales @foxtales.bsky.social · Mar 22

"Asterigos: Curse of the Stars" features the NPC character Vulcane, a blacksmith who, thanks to the curse on the city(?) has taken on a definite vulpine appearance.

She may be one of the nicest characters you can meet.

Fox McCloud is happy to open a chest, retrieve an item, or pretty much do anything in this game.

When I first posted about 13Z, it was for the game's first closed beta over a year ago. The devs have been working hard since then, and now have a full demo up.

You can check it -and the foxy swordswoman, Lyra- out on steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2348250/...

Currently playing through this (and Star Fox Adventures) on the stream. Only about two hours in so far, but it's been pretty nice.

Let him RUN!!! #SpiritOfTheNorth2

Fox Tales @foxtales.bsky.social · Aug 25

Once I have the stream set up properly, I hope to do scheduled streams of games featuring foxes and fox characters/content, then post about them on the Bsky account and steam group.

That so... If anyone has any recommendations of games, characters, or content, please let me know.

Fox Tales @foxtales.bsky.social · Aug 16

ReBoot got so good once they decided to have a plot.

"Give an inch and they'll take a mile."
But they won't stop there - nothing will ever be "enough" because they can't tolerate anything even partially different from their idea of "normal" which will only get narrower and narrower.

Kris Werewolfheart @kriswolfhe.art · Aug 14

Can't believe people don't get this; but the reason this payment processor shit has to be all or nothing is because once these freaks establish a line on what fiction is or isn't okay the line will only move further and further in. You have to fight against the line entirely.

Fox Tales @foxtales.bsky.social · Aug 14

Last year I moved to a new location.

This summer I managed to get decent-ish internet for streaming. Hopefully, I'll be able to show off some foxy games soon on the twitch account.
