Romantic relationships in gaming are often heavily debated, with lots of criticism and lots of support for the myriad experiences out there. I don't have a single specific question related to the topic, only some guiding ones. Feel free to answer any/all of these, or simply give your thoughts on the topic:
- What are some games that you feel have handled romance well?
- What are some games that you feel have not handled romance well?
- What particular advantages does gaming have with regard to portraying romantic relationships?
- What particular disadvantages does gaming have with regard to portraying romantic relationships?
- Are there any games that have depicted romantic relationships that were particularly resonant to you?
- What would you define as some "best practices" for game writers/designers with regard to in-game romance?
- What would you define as some "mistakes/errors" for game writers/designers to avoid with regard to in-game romance?

My wife and I enjoy playing mystery walking simulators together and have been looking for more-- Steam's recommendation engine is pretty terrible in finding others or lesser-known titles, so I thought I'd ask around for what others play! They don't have to be full-on walking simulators, just games where dying is rare/not a big component of the experience (looking at you, Visage!), and the rest of the game is all about solving a mystery/thriller of some sort. Preferably first-person games with realistic-enough graphics.
Ones we've played so far and have loved are:
- Dead Secret
- Gone Home (loose fit)
- The Painscreek Killings (really loved this one)
- The Vanishing of Ethan Carter
Ones I've got in my queue:
- Anna
- Bohemian Killing
- Dead Secret 2
- Return of Obra Dinn
I've also played What Remains of Edith Finch, Dear Esther, Firewatch, and some others-- but those didn't really have a big enough mystery component to them (to be clear I liked them, they just didn’t have a dark/thriller vibe to em).
Any other suggestions?

One of the unique feature of Tildes when it comes to content moderation is the usage of "labels". While there are guidelines, there are no hard and fast rules as to when to use one label or the other (nor should there be!). I am curious what criteria you all use when deciding whether or not to apply a label to a comment, and also how frequently you find yourself labeling things. For reference, the current labels are:
- Exemplary
- Offtopic
- Joke
- Noise
- Malice
Are there labels you find yourself using more than others? Are there some you think are unclear? I feel like this is an often overlooked and underused feature, but that may just be because I personally do not use them that frequently. For example, I have only given a few Exemplary tags, a few noise, and I don't think any of the others.
