I wish I wasn't so goal-driven enough to appreciate games like this.

Haven't played Stomp Plonk yet, but I've fallen in love with these kinda games too. Sludge Life is in the same vibe as well, just a tad more polished. Makes me want to have my own silly 3D world, just for the hell of it.

After I played Babbdi I found this video and I was thinking "why you have Stewie Griffin on thumbnail?" This one parody one who sais "that's for true". Then watching I realized it's a face from Stomp Plonk. Gotta try this one out for sure.

Steam recommend babbdi to me and I was bored so decided to play it. I feel in love almost immediately, and this has quickly become one of my favorite genres. Like, I just get to run around a silly little world and do stupid shit? Sign me up

Great video. I have recently fell in love with BABBDI, it's a game with a simple concept but a very fun and different experience. Well crafted map with secrets to be found. Also fun to Speedrun and complete challenges. Best game of 2022 that nobody knows about!

Loved both of these games. Here are a few recommendations of similar exploration games (of varying length) that I've enjoyed: Alien Afterlife, Sunken Heads, Crypt worlds, Broken Reality, Endo, Sanguine Sanctum, Fatum Betula, Naissancee, Tales from off-peak city, Autogeny. Still many more I need to play, but these types of games are always a joy when I feel like immersing myself in the weird creativity of people.

underrated video

its impressive how much of a sense of place & living culture Stomp Plonk creates w it crude materials (the sound feels hacked-together compared to like, Thief, but its used rly well). that crudeness almost lets the world breathe & assume imaginary life more than if it were less abstract tbh.

I STILL hear the village

inspiration for gam

you saying "cement" instead of "concrete" is crushing my soul down

The second game definitely has a dream-like feel to it. So bizarre and intriguing. Good stuff!

I actually really like how BABBDI is done, they over exaggerated the way the soviet union looks and eastern parts of russia without making it actually look overexaggerated, i somehow find comfort in some parts of the map and really i cant explain it, the game is just a different experience

I like this video

I’ve spent a lot of hours on doom and games like that, but I’m also deeply frustrated that nearly all games follow a never ending kill-death cycle. It would be really nice if more of them were about exploring quirky thoughtfully put together digital worlds but we can’t have nice things. Btw, “proteus” (not the shooter) would be a easy addition to the vibes outlined in the video I think : )

My game A Fools Art Gallery is about to launch and its an exploration game too. Good to know others like making super weird stuff

ok, lemme try making Babbdi 2

Great video. Also you should try #21 The World. Its a kinda same simmilar exploration game, inspired by LSD dream simmulator. And inspired by the dream journal of the developer

I don't know if its your speed or type of game but I would really recommend playing the Minecraft map Broville (v11). Its a huge continent of a map with secrets and easter eggs wherever you go. You don't get wacky zannie characters like in other games but the map has a lot of soul and character. You'll come across graffiti that glimpses into the life of one of the map builders, find a plane wreck where the survivors resorted to cannibalism, underground ancient tombs, a fully playable portal copy and horror game, stories of introspection, friendship and incoherent nonsense. You might already need an appreciation for Minecraft map making, building and the game itself but to me its such a one of a kind diary of creativity, wonder and exploration. You might like version 10 better too, it was built in beta and has that crisp old school gaming community feel and jank that I get with some of the games you play. Also great video as always. Love this kind of game commentary

8:09 these things are a pain to find, but here's a few ive' found: Hendecad the entirety of the haunted cities series, (in particular, tenement of haunted cities 4) 2:22am 0_abyssalsomewhere and exit19

4:51 Crime and Punishment Reference!?!?

Your videos are always a treat man

Just like those games, this video was a joy.

I kinda wanna play these games actually

man I feel like this style of game should be a new genre, I like "exploration game" but it feels too simple. perhaps "wandering simulator"?

Now if only people can explore this fantastic channel, tell all teh yubtubers to explore this channel broskees.

you should check out "tyko's dying together"

great vid. stomp plonk reminds me of a great game called goblet grotto.

Wonderful content

Cool video can you please add a tutorial for how to make carbonara pasta next time?

Sounds like you gotta play Rain World

Doggo

4:29 "Cement buildings" Do you perhaps mean _concrete_ buildings?

Have you considered playing the tripple A equivalent of these games? I think Death Stranding may be something you have to experience for review purposes.

try machinarium its kinda different but still similar to babbdi

Try Off-Peak.

FIRST! (COMMENT)

All the textures in Babbdi are AI generated, that's why it's all jibberish
