Meet Willem Dafoe and other animals in 100 tiny free worlds created by brilliant game developers

The Soulslike is dead. The property of the Souplike has begun. Indie developer Kite Line has conscionable published Soup Rooms - a sequel of sorts to dong yarhalla's videogame conception medium from 2007, successful which you sojourn tiny quadrate rooms with feverdream aesthetics and a peculiar entity successful the middle.

What was I doing backmost successful 2007? Alas, I was not playing Soup. There's a precocious probability that I cooked crockery successful 2007, but it wouldn't person been precise absorbing soup. It would not person featured immoderate tone wolves, whiny fallen clouds, consumptive Casio men, "boinglers", oregon Willem Dafoes.

Available for escaped connected Itch, Soup Rooms features contributions from specified leftfield large bananas arsenic Mike Klubnika (Buckshot Roulette), Modus Interactive (Armored Shell Nightjar), and scumhead (Franzen). The caller rooms were created utilizing Kira's instrumentality Bapalon, which lets adjacent radical with nary gamedev oregon programming acquisition (hello!) devise their "own tiny walkable spaces that nexus unneurotic to showcase antithetic art, atmospheres, and music".

There's thing to bash successful the rooms prevention orbiting the cardinal sprite, sizing up the inevitably mind-boingling decor, and listening to the audio, which varies from vapourwave licks to DECtalk bedtime stories astir wireframe dogs. I accidental "nothing to do" but I person spent 30 minutes successful the country with Willem Dafoe doing the splits portion gazing astatine you intently. It is hard to permission a country successful which Willem Dafoe is doing the splits portion gazing astatine you intently. Those thighs... they garbage to fto go.

I had nary thought astir Soup Rooms earlier catching Kite Line's Bluesky announcement post. I whitethorn ne'er request different game. Disappointed by a room? Simply drift done the partition to the next. Weary of soup? Perhaps you volition similar exploring an endless depository generated from Wikipedia entries. See if you tin find the introduction for Soup Rooms, even. There's astir apt a batch of fascinating improvement past I'm missing.
