A general gaming community for Piefed.

More games, less memes, no outrage culture.

Rules

  1. Stay civil.
    Debate ideas, not people. No personal attacks, no flame wars. More info here.

  2. This is not a gamer identity space.
    We don’t self-identify as “gamers.” Games are art, not a lifestyle brand. If your whole identity is about consumption, you’ll probably feel out of place here.

  3. Talk about games as art.
    Discussion should focus on design, ideas, and creative choices. What does this game say? What are the consequences of its mechanics? What does its aesthetic communicate?

  4. No discrimination.
    Prejudice, bigotry, or harassment of any kind will get you removed.

  5. No spam.
    Keep discussion meaningful. Don’t flood with promos or off-topic noise.

  6. Stay on topic.
    This space is for discussion of games as creative works, not for tech support, low-effort memes, or console wars.

  7. Evolving rules.
    These rules may change as the community grows and we refine what works.

Time Hollow (2008) for Nintendo DS.

The DS really was a treasure chest for Japanese adventure games—and the stylus had everything to do with it. The system flipped open like a book, which made it perfect for late-night reading sessions or zoning out on a bus ride.

Time Hollow is one of those “timey-whimey” mysteries. You wield the Hollow Pen (your stylus) to cut literal windows into the past, swapping objects and rewriting events in search of your missing parents.

It’s all wrapped in sharp manga art, with anime cutscenes that still hold up. The vibe is what the kids now call “cozy.” I lucked out and found my copy at GameStop for C$15, back when they still had DS shelves worth browsing.
