I’m just putting the finishing touches on the Poll results, providing no last minute issues they should go up on Tuesday around 9:30pm.
Right now however here’s something that’s been bought up in the Discord, Four Wishes, a new Korean Youtube brain survival show that’s been running for a while but they’ve just started adding English captions, one episode for now and adding on a weekly basis. It’s been created by a collective called MINDZERO, who apparently did some work on The Devil’s Plan: Death Room on Netflix. The set-up is broadly as you’d expect, 10 people play puzzly games at a mansion, they earn currency by being good at the games, they have to avoid elimination, someone wins. This one has some fun mystery twists and secrets – found items that can be used on future games, but what are they and what can they do?
The first game is relatively simple, a card game, but winning isn’t solely about having the most points at the end, there are eight quests (video game style acheivements) that need to be won – some based on how well you can win the game as presented, but many of them earned by understanding implications of the rules and the apparatus to make seemingly impossible things happen. The graphical package seems very familiar if you’re into this sort of thing. Plenty of satisfying a-ha moments, and plenty of overarching mystery threads to look forward to resolving in future episodes. If you like this sort of thing – and we do – worth a look!
Absolute banger, thank you for sharing, looking forward to future English translations of the rest of the episodes already. From a distance.
Yes, this has got the sauce. Verrry much feels like the snips from the cutting room floor of The Devil’s Plan, but specifically those mid-season games they tend to do with a big discovery element.
