The wait is unbearable! - Overflow! Park Lane! (WillPending 04/15/2022)
0In today's record of Overflow I cower in the corner for 15 minutes straight! As stated in the past, almost any first person game can draw me in enough to get me scared, Park Lane being no exception. The game was made over a 48 hour period so I can't really judge it super harshly, but I will say I'm not really sure if I needed to do anything other than just wait? And if that's really all you need to do I can't say the amount of time you're made to wait was fully necessary. There's plenty of down time where seemingly nothing is happening. Maybe I was missing scripted events? Maybe I was just supposed to walk back and forth a certain amount of times? No clue!
Overflow is a regular segment I run on my stream where I play a large sampling of various indie games all at once! I try to remain respectful, but my first priority is making sure I'm being entertaining which can sometimes potentially come across as demeaning towards the games I'm playing. To make it clear - Games are hard to make. I have also publicly released multiple games of my own. I never want to discourage or demoralize upcoming developers in any way. I enjoy playing rough, unpolished, amateurish games! If I'm ever giving real negative criticism of something, it's because I enjoy it enough or see enough potential in it to want the developer to flourish in the future. Everything else is played for laughs, so try not to take anything too personally!
When your train is inevitably delayed, you find yourself stuck in the underground with something mean and hungry. Will you make it home?

This video was streamed live on my Twitch channel. I play a variety of mostly indie games, but in general don't like sitting in the same spot for too long, so things get mixed up pretty frequently. I try to put a focus on the conversation and banter of the stream, so hopefully that's something you find entertaining regardless of what I'm using as a backdrop!
