#foolish mortals

what a sad story

the light that illuminates this little piece

is brighter than those

there's words for it

pollution

radiating

skylines

even still, with words we find

i see you out there

the sun can't take me away

even in eclipses, my presence is made

somewhere along the way

we turned to creating our own lights

in hopes we could see

shooting stars, falling flares

where did all those wishes go?

did they find a soft landing?

did they keep on soaring?

did they keep on going?

they called you fools

for believing that the glorious galaxy

could make a difference

down there on your land of blues and greens

tides and turns

weather patterns and urns

ashes to stardust

lightning piercing stone crusts

what a world, what a word, what a

beautiful, beautiful, thing

foolish believer, believer of things unseen

it's not your fault they blotted out the stars from where you clearly see

foolish believer, believing in foolish things

it's not your foolishness, they're casting their own spells on

a curse of theirs, doomed, to repeat

What video game do you most regret not finishing?

Well right now probably Foolish Mortals, which I actually barely even started. I really liked the demo when I played it in the summer of 2024 and bought it first day in November 2025, and then... did basically squat. I played a few minutes of it and haven't managed to get back to it. I don't get a lot of safe downtime in my life these days to do things like play games or write, even when I'm nominally on vacation; and the there's the "I'm bad at puzzles and am going to do worse than everyone else who played this and have to look up dumb shit that should have been easy to figure out" thing, which as you might expect Feels Bad and so tends to produce avoidance. (It's a heck of a problem to have while also playing almost exclusively adventure games, but I'm even worse at other kinds 😅)

Play "Foolish Mortals"!

While i needed to get used to the clunky art and animation in the beginning, the voice acting, damn awesome jazz soundtrack and ghost story quickly had me hooked!

Its an award worthy indie game in my opinion! Loved it!

Big recommendation! Give it a try!

Seeing the differences and the similarities between the two genres was pretty interesting. Really enjoyed the game as well for the most part

I do! One of my favorite game genres are point-and-click adventures, or anything in that format, really. I get easily motion sick trying to play open worlds, shooter games, etc. that I tend to gravitate to the pixel and point-and-click indies. Some of my favorites are Burnhouse Lane, the Detective Grimoire series, The Dream Machine, Fran Bow/Little Misfortune...and lots of others!
