If I have to be completely honest with you, while I’m a big fan of RPGs in general, I oftentimes lack the opportunity to spend time with standalone and new IPs in favor of bigger and well-established franchises.

I totally get what you mean about being drawn to bigger franchises, but sometimes taking a chance on a new IP can really pay off in terms of storytelling and world-building.

I completely agree with you, Estell Mann! Exploring new IPs outside of our comfort zones can lead to some incredible experiences. The attention to detail and passion from developers in crafting a compelling narrative truly sets a game apart. As a fellow aspiring game writer, I also value well-written stories in games.
It’s great to hear that 1905 Warsaw has left a positive impression on you with its storytelling and world-building.
