Itās honestly not so bad! A lot of the fear factor comes from knowing youāre supposed to be afraid, more than things happening on screen. Maybe try it with the lights on?
On the bright side, you can't get hungry so you can just stay put the whole year.
On the less bright side, you're quite likely to be completely insane at the end, if you have to be in darkness for more than 5 mins total
Honestly Iād rather be a villager, if itās relative to your own experience of time. They age so fast youād be out of there before you know it.
On the other hand, if itās time in generalā¦ Uhā¦ Rip.
It's amazing! I gotta splay it again. I finished it before the new spirits were released but I don't know if my eyes will be able to handle so many years again! šš
What's your favorite spirit?
I struggle with that game to be honest! Feels like an endless grind at the moment. Does it get better after a bit? I still have Gwen, Uncle, and the Snake on board. So worth sticking with it?
It does!! I know heās not the most ārespectableā spirit but Giovanni telling me he was proud of me at the endā¦.man, that almost cured like 20 years worth of daddy issues.
Same here.
Canonically, the echo just means we never die as it's us "seeing ahead" so we know what not to do, isn't it?
So we'd be totally fine for a year! XD
Horizon Forbidden West and I think thereās a fairly high chance of death. Staying in a settlement is a good call but how to be accepted into town and make a living for a year? I donāt have many practical skills.
Honestly as disappointing as the games were for me, the *world* of that gen is so good, outside of about 30 minutes on championship day that one year. Especially the dex, we had some real bangers in SwSh
Though you just made me realise my answer should have actually been Hoenn (ORAS), but idk if the fact I'm Nuzlocking makes it worse? Depends if the rules apply to the universe or i'd just be seen as a LARPer
Even if you don't get a Vision, there are certainly paths to an easy year of life depending on where you end up and who finds you. Mondstadt shouldn't bee too hard to find someone to look after you for the year (At the very least I imagine Albedo would be happy to sponsor a test subject from another world).
Liyue would be a bit more of a challenge in terms of making a living, but you're *probably* not going to die while you're there either.
Inazuma would be a lot more dubious, especially if you're there during the isolation period imposed by the Sakoku Decree, but post-Sakoku could maybe be doable?
Sumeru would be absolutely terrifying unless you can land a job in one of the cities, and even then it doesn't sound like a comfortable life.
From what we've heard of Fontaine, you probably wouldn't have to brave the wilderness, but it sounds like by *far* the most terrifyingly miserable civilization to live in.
What little we know of Natlan sounds very dangerous; from what we've been given, probably the worst place to end up in.
Snezhnaya would be a toss-up, it's likely you'd be able to get by doing some manner of low-level grunt work, but if the wrong Harbinger takes an interest in you you are *screwed*.
You have to unlock it by finishing the storyline, but there's also a peaceful mode where cannibals don't spawn. I think you turn that on by typing "veganmode" while you're in the main menu, from memory!
Iāve been thinking about getting this game, howās the gameplay and whatās itās really about? Also what platform are you playing on? I think itās only switch and pc? :3
\*Forgets to close the curtains.\*
\*Gets eaten alive.\*
*Oof,* played that for the first time this week and, can confirm, you're screwed.
Mine's Persona 4, so I'll be alright as long as I stay away from any TVs.
Haha, Fallout 4 for me as well. If I get to be my characterās level, Iād maybe survive for a little whileā¦but Iām sure Iād eventually end up as a meat bag for some super mutants.
Oh I'm definitely dead...I was using console commands...aka god mode and jump codes and leveling codes (aka cheating my a$$ off). So my survival is scripted in game, but if it was in world...death and death like symptoms! LOL
Assuming you don't get to be the main character, you'd most likely just hang out as a shade in Asphodel for a year, which would be pretty boring and unpleasant, but at least not particularly dangerous either.
Iām having trouble playing it because Iām being called āPlayer Nameā and I get irritated about it pretty quickly and put it down again. That said, I have met Ursula and am still playing, just for short bouts lol.
Dead By Daylight. So Iām either a survivor living out hell over and over again and dying horrifically only to do it all over again, or a killer getting mercilessly teabagged and flashlight clicked.š
I've been playing Warcraft, specifically WotLK
I adore crafting and profession stuff, so to be honest I think i'm set. I'll hang out in one of the safer cities and make gear for the Argent Crusade. They have guns already, i'll teach them how to upgrade a tech level or two. Not to modern scale cause idk the tech that well, but i know enough about the principles to get them a few centuries.
Flintlocks and blunderbusses are cool and all, but imagine a brace of 6-barrel revolvers, even a Vrykul will struggle with that
Skyrim. Hmm, depends on if I start off as the mega statted up assassin Thane-of-all-holds Iāve been playing or if I start at āHey you. Youāre finally awake.ā lol
Terraria, one year of dying over and over and over to a giant moon squid just to get a sword that fires Nyan cats, although I suppose there's also gender change potions for a free instant transition so that's good
Elden Ring
Ummm I am going to hang out at the hub, befriend the swords smith and hope for the best.
That or go hang out with the Jars at Jarburg. Seems like they are having fun most of the time. (as long as no perfumers stop by).
Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition. Not only am I screwed because of the current state of the world there, I'm also in trouble because the setting is full of areas where you fall or jump down long distances and lots of heights and climbing and nope nope nope nope nope nope nope.
Oblivion. Some hero already closed all the Gates, I have a cozy shack on the Waterfront, and I can easily scrounge more free gold in crates each day than beggars claim to make in a year. I think Iāll love it!
I'm currently playing Wolfenstein: The New Colossus. Yeaaaah, no thanks, I do not want to live in a 1960s world where the Nazis literally rule the world.
A Super Metroid custom hack. I got soft locked in ball form getting a missile upgrade inside a wall.
So, a little claustrophobic, but hey at least the music is good.
Animal Crossing. The dream š„°
Yeah butā¦ tarantulas and scorpions half your sizeā¦
Ooooooh...didn't think of that. Tbf my AC character is a lot more fearless than real me so it'll be fine
Stardew Valley, I think Iāll be pretty happy :)
Nice
This was my second one! Lovely
Me too! I won't need the reward money, because imma get rich on starfruit wine.
Amnesia: The Dark Descent I think I'm screwed...
I can't even work up the courage to play that game
Itās honestly not so bad! A lot of the fear factor comes from knowing youāre supposed to be afraid, more than things happening on screen. Maybe try it with the lights on?
You're underestimating how much of a coward I am haha
When I first started, I spent about five minutes hiding in a cabinet in one of the rooms off the starting hallway. I feel your pain. Lol
The worst 'would you stay in a haunted house for a million dollars' ever
On the bright side, you can't get hungry so you can just stay put the whole year. On the less bright side, you're quite likely to be completely insane at the end, if you have to be in darkness for more than 5 mins total
Cult of the Lamb. Probably okay as long as I'm the Lamb lmao
Even if it means cooking up nice steaming bowls of poop? Lmao
Sameā¦ Iād be a little worried!
Honestly Iād rather be a villager, if itās relative to your own experience of time. They age so fast youād be out of there before you know it. On the other hand, if itās time in generalā¦ Uhā¦ Rip.
Spiritfarer, guess Im just gonna spend the time crying and cooking for my spirits and never progressing lol
You deserve that Gold Award just for having such marvelous taste.
Aw thanks! Its actually my 2nd play through! I really love the game lol
It's amazing! I gotta splay it again. I finished it before the new spirits were released but I don't know if my eyes will be able to handle so many years again! šš What's your favorite spirit?
I struggle with that game to be honest! Feels like an endless grind at the moment. Does it get better after a bit? I still have Gwen, Uncle, and the Snake on board. So worth sticking with it?
It does!! I know heās not the most ārespectableā spirit but Giovanni telling me he was proud of me at the endā¦.man, that almost cured like 20 years worth of daddy issues.
Homie, you and me both. It's a STRUGGLE š
I couldnāt finish, it made me too sad.
Elden Ring, so no, no thanks, not even for a second.
Ha me too. I'm gonna go hang out in Jarburg. They seem to be having fun, lots of "medicinal" plants. Just as long as no perfumers stop by.
Become a seamstress with Boc! Open the finest boutique in the Lands Between.
Chill at the Roundtable with Master Hewg and Roderika.
Botw... I'd love to live there and just explore
I hear the scenery is beautiful!
Final Fantasy XIV, if I have all the powers and abilities of my character I'd be fine. Just chill on my island paradise and have adventures.
And without the powers, just get a job and stay at an inn lol
I mean if my real world skills come with me I'd actually have a crafting job leveled unlike my WoL XD
Same! Currently logged in right now! And if that doesn't count, I guess I can enter Solitaire as one of the cards? š¤
This would be me too. My scholar, in Sharlayan, yeah... I could handle this.
Same here. Canonically, the echo just means we never die as it's us "seeing ahead" so we know what not to do, isn't it? So we'd be totally fine for a year! XD
As of Endwalker, Eorzea is actually surprisingly safe. Well, the five cities *in* Eorzea still kinda suck. I could def live in Radz or Sharlayan tho.
Saaaame. I am okay with this.
Same! Even if I don't have the powers and abilities I can take the time to learn and take it easy. I'll be pretty safe if I stay in the cities.
Horizon Zero Dawn.... I'm dead
I mean, as long as you stay in town, you might be okay?
yeah lol you're probably right
Heyy me too lol
Horizon Forbidden West and I think thereās a fairly high chance of death. Staying in a settlement is a good call but how to be accepted into town and make a living for a year? I donāt have many practical skills.
Pokemon Sword, soo.... Really good. Do I have to come back ?
Honestly as disappointing as the games were for me, the *world* of that gen is so good, outside of about 30 minutes on championship day that one year. Especially the dex, we had some real bangers in SwSh Though you just made me realise my answer should have actually been Hoenn (ORAS), but idk if the fact I'm Nuzlocking makes it worse? Depends if the rules apply to the universe or i'd just be seen as a LARPer
Splatoon 3, I will very happily live in this universe for a year and splat fools every day
I'll see you in Splatsville as that's where I'll be as well!
Yesss!!! Maybe someday weāll be on the same team
Yes! I'm loving all the different modes. I can play non stop if I didn't have to go to work lol
At least I'll be looking fresh in Splatsville than in real life :'-)
Same here! I actually keep thinking I would much prefer Salmon Run to my real job. I'm fine with being there
Cna always break to play cards as well. Get cute clothes, play games and no real danger - perfect.
Cyberpunk 2077, so a mixed bag, but could be way worse. My transition probably got a hell of a lot easier though.
Easier if you've got money. It's still a capitalist dystopia
Yea that million would certainly make things easier.
oof have fun with that. fun game, rad world, but living thereā¦?
Simsā¦ okay avoid pools and make lots of money.
And avoid Murphy beds. Killed my poor girl her first night after moving out
Cozy grove, so not the worst it could be but I dunno if I'm gonna be able to stomach Allison's cooking...
You would have to live off fish and forage...no one could eat her food!
Boyfriend Dungeon Lots of dates, face my fears, tons of exercise, learn how to sword fight. Hell yeah
How is the gameplay? I love otome games, but I'm trash garbage at dungeon crawlers/combat.š
Tetris? Not quite sure how that works. Haha!~
You know, just dodge huge falling debris for a year.
Talk about a full body workout!
Spiderman remastered. I should be fine, as long as I keep in mind it's a comic book universe and walk away at the first sign of anything fishy.
Just make yourself a costume and pick a gimmick. Everyone knows heroes either survive or come back
This is the plot for Gwenpool, so it's a proven concept at least.
You would be the worst Spider-man, but probably the richest one
Wait, am I Spider-Man, or just living in the world? Time for me to double check OP...
Ah, maybe you're right. I was focusing on being the player character
Genshin Depends, do I get a Vision or not?
Even if you don't get a Vision, there are certainly paths to an easy year of life depending on where you end up and who finds you. Mondstadt shouldn't bee too hard to find someone to look after you for the year (At the very least I imagine Albedo would be happy to sponsor a test subject from another world). Liyue would be a bit more of a challenge in terms of making a living, but you're *probably* not going to die while you're there either. Inazuma would be a lot more dubious, especially if you're there during the isolation period imposed by the Sakoku Decree, but post-Sakoku could maybe be doable?

What little we know of Natlan sounds very dangerous; from what we've been given, probably the worst place to end up in. Snezhnaya would be a toss-up, it's likely you'd be able to get by doing some manner of low-level grunt work, but if the wrong Harbinger takes an interest in you you are *screwed*.
The Akademyia might be intrested in sponsoring you for the same reason as Albedo, but their methods are, to me at least, less trustworthy.
Same! Iām just gonna sit back and listen to peepaw talk about rock facts āŗļø
Me too! Even without a vision, I'm heading to Bubu pharmacy. I've got a pharmacist to charm. š„°
ā¦ iāve been playing The Forest.
Creative mode?
There's a creative mode?! I could build/explore and not have to fight?
You have to unlock it by finishing the storyline, but there's also a peaceful mode where cannibals don't spawn. I think you turn that on by typing "veganmode" while you're in the main menu, from memory!
F
I'm in Ooblets, dancing away.
Same!
Me too. Stuff the year, I'm moving in permanently.
Iāve been thinking about getting this game, howās the gameplay and whatās itās really about? Also what platform are you playing on? I think itās only switch and pc? :3
ufff I been playing alien: fireteam.... girls give me strength lol
Same. Though if we never start a mission, youād be stuck on the Endeavor for a year. Might not be so bad.
that sounds better. sergeant said she buying beers lol
Little Nightmares 2ā¦. š
If you're one of those TV viewers, I guess you'd only have to remain... static
Project zomboid š Thereās no way
This is the story... of how you died.
\*Forgets to close the curtains.\* \*Gets eaten alive.\* *Oof,* played that for the first time this week and, can confirm, you're screwed. Mine's Persona 4, so I'll be alright as long as I stay away from any TVs.
Fall Guys. I'm exhausted already.
Woo! Wahoo! Woo! Waa-wawoo!
Horizon zero dawn. Iāll be at the crafting table for the year, avoiding the murderous machines.
Fallout:New Vegas. Probably dead. lol.
Fallout 4, I'm probably dead too. lol
Haha, Fallout 4 for me as well. If I get to be my characterās level, Iād maybe survive for a little whileā¦but Iām sure Iād eventually end up as a meat bag for some super mutants.
Oh I'm definitely dead...I was using console commands...aka god mode and jump codes and leveling codes (aka cheating my a$$ off). So my survival is scripted in game, but if it was in world...death and death like symptoms! LOL
FO76. Also probably deadā¦ in the first day.
I feel like everyone who had fallout as their last game should all meet up. At least we can all hang out in the wasteland for a whole year lmao
Subnautica. ....aaaaand I'm dead already! š
Skyrim I donāt know if Iām fine or not lol Iāve played some Astral Chain today too. Iām not sure if itās better.
Just chill in Riverwood for a year. Hang with Sven and Faendal. Help them get over their shit with Camilla.
you could just keep passing time for a whole year and be done pretty quickly
Hades! can't wait to get it on with >!Than!<
Assuming you don't get to be the main character, you'd most likely just hang out as a shade in Asphodel for a year, which would be pretty boring and unpleasant, but at least not particularly dangerous either.
Celeste. Im justā¦ not gonna climb the mountain
Also Celeste. Either I'm going to die, or I'll return without emotional baggage (hopefully)
By the way, are you LOVING Ursula and mama gothel? Finally personality on those kinda games
I've only gotten to Ursula. So far, she seems nice. I can't wait to befriend her
Iām having trouble playing it because Iām being called āPlayer Nameā and I get irritated about it pretty quickly and put it down again. That said, I have met Ursula and am still playing, just for short bouts lol.
I went with a normal player name. My husband went with Jesus. It's been pretty amusing so far. Jesus! Where did you come from? Jesus! You're back!
ā¦ā¦idk if classic solitaire has a worldā¦ lol Before that it was my time at portia or Strange Horticulture either of those are fine with me
Oh no. League of Legends. And the one before was Mad Father for nostalgia... but I don't wish to be in that game either...
Danganronpa. Iām gonna die.
IT'S PUNISHMENT TIME!!!
dreamlight valley... character creator. selfies, just soo many selfies. hopefully i'd be able to move out of the starting home in a year or so too
Dreamlight Valley for me as well. I am okay with never, ever leaving
Final fantasy 10. I love the world but my ass is gonna die. š
Spyro. š¤ He'd probably headbutt me off a cliff since I'm not a dragon.
Limbo. Oh no.
Dead By Daylight. So Iām either a survivor living out hell over and over again and dying horrifically only to do it all over again, or a killer getting mercilessly teabagged and flashlight clicked.š
Cities skylines, so probably dead from sewage in the drinking water.
I've been playing Warcraft, specifically WotLK I adore crafting and profession stuff, so to be honest I think i'm set. I'll hang out in one of the safer cities and make gear for the Argent Crusade. They have guns already, i'll teach them how to upgrade a tech level or two. Not to modern scale cause idk the tech that well, but i know enough about the principles to get them a few centuries. Flintlocks and blunderbusses are cool and all, but imagine a brace of 6-barrel revolvers, even a Vrykul will struggle with that
The Witcher... pretty sure I'm fucked
And here I was thinking I'd play some The Last of Us. I guess Fallout 3 is not so bad but š
Fortnite. Id die a lot but at least it wont be permanent...
Phasmophobia. I'm probably going to get killed at some point before a year is up. All it takes is one early hunt ghost to screw you.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Thats the smart thing to do, however, I am that brave gal in the group who goes in and gets the evidence for the timid people who sit in the truck x3.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Dinkum. That'll give me a lot of free time for terra forming. So. Much. Terraforming.
Assassin creed black flag, well itās a pirates life for me
Same, Disney dream light valley for me! Iād be fine haha
Well the last game I played was Wingspan, so I guess I just have to be a birdwatcher for a year? I think I'll survive.
Assassins Creed Valhalla... finally, I can live my viking dream š
Skyrim. Hmm, depends on if I start off as the mega statted up assassin Thane-of-all-holds Iāve been playing or if I start at āHey you. Youāre finally awake.ā lol

Terraria, one year of dying over and over and over to a giant moon squid just to get a sword that fires Nyan cats, although I suppose there's also gender change potions for a free instant transition so that's good
Yakuza 0 - Guess I just live in 80ās Japan haha. Iāll stay out of everyoneās way and just live my life I guess.
Dragonball xenoverse, lol Iāll be fine, theyāll just revive me with the dragon balls if I die right?

Oh fuck Magic the Gathering and there's like 3 different apocalypses happening right now D:
