Citizen Sleeper catched my eye last year. I'm glad to seeing it here.
Holy catfish Tunic on Game PASS??!?!?! Giddy up.
Awesome! Love me some indie games!
Can't wait to play Tunic tomorrow
Didnt they just say about 2 weeks ago that Tunic would not be a day-one release on gamepass🤔🤔🤔🤔 fairly shady if that was just to get pre-order cash in🤔🤔🤔🤔
@hbkay Game Pass does that a lot. Doesn’t say in the store when it’s a game pass game for preorders. A lot of rumors were flying around and I think the publisher stated it wouldn’t. Customers can just get a refund though if they choose to.
@Halucigens @hbkay The game wasn’t available for preorder.
Nice! Can't wait to try out Tunic after work today! Chinatown Detective Agency looks nice too.
@hbkay yeah it's kinda Shaddy thankfully they didn't take preorders for this (at least on Xbox)
But we did learn from the everlast devs some of the gamepass deals close within a day or two before the announcement
@hbkay they never had it for pre-order ,no one could actually buy it on Xbox that was one of the clues that it was coming to game pass , they been promoting for ages on twitter that it was coming out today but never showed up on the Xbox store for ppl to buy ( me included)
Such a bad way to do these shows. An indie presentation should be fast and snappy. The way Xbox do these things it’s a complete slog. To the point where I’ll learn about this games from other sources such as ign or this site…and seriously doubt I’m the only one. You know you’re doing something wrong when that’s the case.
Great to see a nice crop of titles are on the way. These sound far more interesting than any of the "AAA" titles coming out.
