Rich tries to survive in City 20 which is a dystopian survival sandbox game set in a secret Soviet nuclear city that was quarantined after a radioactive leak.
As a survivor in this harsh environment, you must navigate a world that dynamically responds to your actions, dealing with organized factions, harsh environmental conditions, and unsolved mysteries.
The game emphasizes survival mechanics, requiring you to manage hunger, thirst, and other vital needs while exploring a post-apocalyptic world rendered in a unique, dirty watercolour aesthetic. You'll craft your own narrative through a series of choices, working with or against factions to stay alive and ultimately aiming to escape the city.
Reading a book is generally a personal journey that people take and the journey varies from reader to reader. I've recently been listening to a lot of audiobooks as it's a great way to read books whilst doing something else. In the last year I must have read in excess of 10 books but the years preceding that it was taking me a year to finish one physical book.
Recently though, this changed again as I was sent a digital PDF copy of the Jordan Mechner Visual Novel/memoir, REPLAY, to read and it has reignited my love for two things, 1. Visual Novels 2. Jordan Mechner and his attitude to making video games. Obviously as it was a PDF copy it was almost reigniting my instinct to read a physical book even though I was using my tablet to read the book.
Replay: Memoir of an Uprooted Family by Jordan Mechner is a poignant and vibrant graphic novel that attempts and succeeds in weaving together the stories of three generations of the Mechner family.
