Opening Hour: Signs of the Sojourner (Xbox Series X)
I had never heard of this game before today, September 1st, 2021. It came out on game pass today, so I decided to give it a shot. It's has a very unique "combat" system around deck building. I'm not sure how it will go in the future when you seem to need a completely different set of cards to communicate with certain people. There seems to be a lot of choice in the game, big and small. I didn't even realize I'd left the caravan when I went to retrieve the guys roasted nuts, but I must have missed quite a bit. Looking into the game it appears to be quite short, with the 5 trips counting down towards the end. If this game interests you, it's only 20 bucks on basically every platform, or included in the library if you're a game pass member.
Signs of the Sojourner is described on Steam as follows: "In this narrative card game about relationships and communication, navigate conversations in a colorful world reminiscent of our own. Learn and grow through the cards you choose to play. Who will you become? What will you leave behind?"
Gameplay was recorded on an Xbox Series X using an Elgato HD60S capture card.
Signs of the Sojourner is available on: Steam, GOG, Itch.io, PS4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, the Windows Store, Xbox Game Pass for console, and Game Pass for PC.
