Video games are not mere time killers. They are albums of sound, aesthetics, animation and narrative.

This community is in appreciation of that. Screenshots, fanart, animations, gameplay clips. It is all welcome here.

The one common thread should be an eye for the aesthetic. This is not a place to discuss mechanics or stats, but to show off simply the artistic, expressed through the video game medium.

All rules of the parent instance apply. That is, sopuli.xyz
Include the name of the game your post is associated with in the post title.
If your post is fanart, include a link to the artist in post body, if you can. You may also ping @[email protected] to have it attempt to find the source for you, and provide it in a comment.
MARK ANY TEXT SPOILERS, as for art, do not post content that outright spoils key moments of a games narrative. Content that can only be understood with the context of having played the game, is ok.
No generative AI art.

What's a game that made a visual or musical impression on you? Or maybe it had a story that has stayed with you for years.

Skye, a small demo made by a team of Dutch students as part of their studies. You fly a small plane around an uncommonly sunny version of the Western Isles of Scotland. They managed to make the whole game look like a living painting. It's delightful. It's very short and there's not a tonne of depth to the gameplay, but the flight mechanics do feel good and there are some fun challenges to take on. Also it's free!
