Vibe is a little like a cross between The Thing and Amnesia: The Bunker, but the gameplay is very much a basic walking simulator.

Who Knocks has the exact same gameplay, inventory, graphics, etc&#8230; but the story is different and has a bit of a twist. Oh and also there&#8217;s some actual combat in this one. All that is to say: while I quite enjoyed it, it&#8217;s definitely not a game for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">~ Progress Notes ~<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Final Fantasy VII Rebirth<\/strong> (PS5) &#8211; Chapter 9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sk\u00fcl: The Hero Slayer<\/strong> (PS4) &#8211; Made it up to the second boss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Robocop: Rogue City<\/strong> (PC) &#8211; Arrived at OCP tower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments<\/strong> (PS4) &#8211; Fifth case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Another Crab&#8217;s Treasure<\/strong> (PS5) &#8211; Started the treasure hunt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">~ Purchases ~<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Who Knocks<\/strong> (PC)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bloody Ink<\/strong> (PC)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>There&#8217;s Something in the Ice<\/strong> (PC)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Another Crab&#8217;s Treasure<\/strong> (PS5)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>~ Game Over ~ Princess Peach: Showtime!
