So without further adieu, here are my top 10 picks of Game Festival games for the escape room connoisseur: The Steam Game Festival runs from the 3rd – 9th February and showcases a whole range of games from different genres (my company’s own game is there under ‘Racing’ – keep an eye out for Drive Buy!) If you spot any games you like the look of, you’ll be able to watch live streams with the creators, add to your wishlist for news, and in most cases – download a demo version of the game! Pretty much all you need to play them is a PC, and not even a particularly good one at that. The best part? Since this festival is the developer’s chance to put their best foot forward and showcase their games, you can play most of them for free. Why? It is absolutely PACKED with escape room games this year. One thing I’m extra excited to talk about on The Escape Roomer is the Steam Game Festival. All it means is that my horizons have been broadened- no, that’s not right… More like they’ve been totally blown open with all the amazing ‘escape room’ video games I’ve been exposed to lately. Does this mean this blog is now about videogames? Nahhh. The player character has no name, but internally in Origin, he was nicknamed “BlueHair”, because his hair although black, had highlights of blue (due to a limited color palette), which was what probably the reason they named him Blair in the later games.So here’s a bit of a life update for everyone who didn’t ask for it – in 2020 I transitioned away from working in the escape room industry into the video game industry. When you start a game you have just finished a training sim session, and you must enter your name and callsign. In Chris Roberts words the game is inspired by WW2, especially the Pacific War. The game is set in 2654 and follows the Terran Confederation and the ongoing war against a predatory feline race called the Kilrathi (they were inspired by Kzinti of Larry Niven’s “Know Space” series).
Wing Commander had a different take on the then established space sim formula, bringing the game and space combat to the levels of Hollywood blockbusters. Developed by Origin Systems, Wing Commander can be considered one of the best and influential space sim ever created.
When talking about space sims, sooner or later someone will mention Wing Commander.
