I think this kind of game looks really neat as an interactive storytelling medium with a really low barrier to entry. If you've ever wanted to make an FMV game but don't have the time/energy, the downpour.games editor/engine hits a lot of the same notes

@mogwai_poet I always find these things fascinating in terms of how they handle state and complexity. AFAICT the entire game state in downpour is "which screen are you on?", Which theoretically can do a lot if you're happy to duplicate screens, but the amount of screen duplication blows out really fast if you don't reign it back in periodically.

I liked Holly's cat game a lot.

@Farbs Yeah I think you need to be making a specific kind of game for it to work cleanly
