Specifically similar to RotOD is Heaven's Vault in that its pretty nonlinear, not hand holdy and that you figure out (a foreign language in this case). But it is more adventure style than RotOD.
Another one already mentioned Outer Wilds (not Outer Worlds!) and I completely agree and recommend it as well!
In general I have to say I disagree that new games are more of the same. We are in a golden age regarding new games and game genres. It's just, that there are so many games, that there are also many similar ones. And the big studios are the worst in that regard, just bury AAA and start to love Indie games!
As example, games which are different from others and not already mentioned in this thread:
Eastshade (you are a painter exploring a fantasy world, solving quests by painting pictures)
Rain World (you are a small animal trying to survive a hostile simulated world, you need to learn how the interaction between you, NPCs and the world works)
INSIDE (nearly pure atmosphere & no gameplay, but still great!)
Papers, Please (you are a government worker who has to check people coming over the border)
Her Story (you try to figure out what happened to a person via searching videos from her interrogation by the police)
What Remains of Edith Finch (part game anthology, part great story to connect those "mini games")
A Little To the Left (OCD in game form)
Ancestors: Humankind Odyssey (you play a primate tribe and evolve it towards Homo Sapiens in an african tropical forest)
Edit: and how could I forget: Disco Elysium, the greatest RPG! without combat, only social encounters and technical problems to solve in a wonderful world full of memorable and interesting characters.
Wait, I thought that only applies to communities on that instance, not to a case like this, where you are on another instance? Are you using an app or a browser based way to access the fediverse?
I mean already Black And White wasn't up to what he promised. And for Populous I don't know, because I wasn't following gaming news then, but needed to learn to read first =D
One example is women didn't need to stay home the whole day for child care, since there was Kindergarten for everyone from age 3 to primary school and even nurseries for children between 6 months to age 3 if you wanted to.
Nowadays in eastern Germany the care infrastructure is still there mostly, but not on sufficient numbers and it is not guaranteed anymore, so parents need to have enough money.
To be fair, that was not (only) out of good will, but also out of economical necessity, since the female workforce was as much needed as the male one to keep the whole thing going.
No and yes. If the copy and paste buttons would be at the position of page-up/down, I think many people would still use Ctrl+C because it is quickerto reach.
If the keys would be at easily reachable positions, then sure.
The user name of the parent comment is "TheBigBrother". Big Brother is also the name of the totalitarian regime in the dystopian book Nineteen Eighty-Four from George Orwell. The other commentator referenced the Big Brother in 1984 to the comment of the parent comment thereby implying, that the original comment with the "my house, my rules" is too totalitarian or strict.
I don't think somebody who has been violent multiple times towards humans will be different to a pet. Just because there was no animal close to this person yet, doesn't exactly instill confidence that the pet will not be hurt.
