Advent Calendar: Let's Play 24 games!

... Alright! I've only got one hour, so I will begin playing Creatively Complicated here on Livestream in 5 minutes. Come on over! Maybe then I'll doodle or something I dunno. But COME ON OVER!

I have never watched a stream before. This will be quite exciting!

Neither did I! HELL YES!

Okay, stream's over and we had quite some fun! I'd say the stream was a success.

Then I doodled, taking requests from you forumers. Somehow, we ended up with this:


I regret nothing.

There is nothing TO regret,

Indeed

I feel that that picture somehow sums up the entirety of the LP-part of BrokenForum.

I watched the thing after it was over and it seems pretty fun.... except the part where I was screaming like mad at you to use the torch on that indentation for I don't know how long XD

I could've sworn I tried to use the torch on it and it didn't work! So yeah whoops, error on my end there.

Okay! Kinda late but today's game is "Battery Powered Adventure"! Mostly because I like robots.


No introduction screen, strangely. A disembodied text urges me to poke this little bot a couple of times.



Alright! Awake and ready to go!
... Man, bot, way to look sleepy.
I'm just gonna call 'im Botty.

Anyway! Following the disembodied text, we find ...!


Huh. A little power station with "no power", and a train cart thing.
Let's check out that power station...


... Huh. Looks like a puzzle!
But, we don't have what we need yet. Let's keep looking through the rest of the area first.


... Is that a car wrecked with a big rock?


I'm sure it won't miss that rock.
It's Botty's rock now.


... Of course Botty jams it into the power station, why wouldn't he?
Okay, I already forgot what the note said, let's just try it out randomly--


Woah, got it on the first try.
(And had to restart the game twice to get this screen because it flashes by in an instant.)

Anyway, that means we can ride the train cart thing! So...


Huh, credits already?
I think these are opening credits, actually.
Little Botty travels all over the landscape, mostly grass and some city and nothing of much interest.


Except for this, that is.
What's going on?
Botty, it's time to save people!

......................
I swear that the first time I looked at that car, I thought it was a dead giant dog with blood in his anus.

What's my fucking problem?

... I can see the resemblance.
Vaguely.
What does that make the thingy I took from it? Its nose?

Yep, I guess. His nose and his mouth.

Is it bad that I saw the exact same thing?

How did this happen, Botty.
Just, how.
Don't look innocent.

Well, we can't get into that tool shop, so let's go see what's to the side.


--! Hey, wait--

There was a man there for a moment, someone in a black trenchcoat.
But he left before I could take a picture...

Well, we COULD follow him to the left side, but I'd rather go visit the park!


Hmm, a door? We'll get in there.
Sooner or later.
For now, let's see what else we can find!


...oh.
... Oh.
Uh.
I don't have to... dig that up, do I?


Yeah, let's just steal the shovel.
And NOW let's go to the left! Maybe we can catch another glimpse of the black-cloaked man!


... Huh.
Okay, nothing we can do here, the door's locked.
So what do we do with the shovel?...


I'm not sure Botty got his moral code properly installed.
Oh well, we've got a broken window and now we can snatch a spring! Or whatever that is.
But, they'll notice if something goes missing, won't they? Hmm...


Perfect.


That's not how you use a spring, Botty.
I guess it's a portable ladder or something? It's climbable, anyway.


Looks like the only place we can go is through that hallway. Maybe something's to the sides, I'll check later.


Nevermind; I can't backtrack.
Hey, is that a rope over there? Haven't I seen that before?

Thaaat was it. Okay! We can move onward after the mysterious man!


I think Botty moves a little slower while on this rope. Cute.


Woo more tightrope walking~ And caught him in movement for once~


Survivors eh? Sounds good! We'll rescue 'em soon!


I bet they're right beyond that door! :D Let's go, Botty!

"Oh, they'll miss the ladder. What to do?"
*thinks thinks thinks*
"Oh, I'll just put this shovel here."
*puts shovel*
"There. No way they're gonna tell the difference."

Seems legit.

... Oh. Hrm.
Okay, maybe I gotta take the elevator first. THEN we find our survivors!


Ah, the elevator's stuck. That's fixed easily enough; Let's hop down!


Botty does a cute little animation, and the elevator rides him all the way down!


...
Oh... uhm...
I-I think we're a little late here, Botty.
Let's move on.


I-It's okay Botty, there'll be more people! I'm sure someone's alive!


! Look, there's a live man! A sleeping one but he's alive!
Let's get in there and save him! :D
What from? I dunno but he's clearly not safe here.

Oh! Hello there, lady!
...
W-why so quiet?
All of this... It wasn't done by robots, was it?


Ah! Yes?
The name's Botty, ma'am!



That's why! We're here to help! :D



... I love you already, lady!


Weee~ Epilogue time~



Oh... Oh dear...
What's HAPPENED here, lady?
Come to think of it, I still don't know...


Suddenly, Botty stops. The little light on his head starts to blink red.
... Botty?


W-Wait, Botty, what are you doing?


Wait no! Botty stop!
Oh no...

There's a white flash, and then...


... nothing.


You... tricked us! Oh Botty...
We thought we'd be helping people! I never wanted to kill everyone and neither did Botty! Poor, poor Botty...


U-Uh-
uh-
please stop staring.
... P-Please stop.

Poor Botty. Poor people surrounding Botty.

Why are all these cute 16-bit games ending with the main character being a murderer? (Is that ending the only one?)

Yeah, the game's actually highly linear. Unless I was supposed to follow Mr. Man-in-black instead of poking around at the ...
...
Hang on, gonna go check if I can use my ladder-thing on the OTHER door. The one I never managed to enter.

Edit: Yeah it's the only ending, still can't get through Mr. Man-in-black's door.
Also I blame mr. Man-in-black for everything.

Sad game ;_;. Poor little Botty.

So, uh...
Due to procrastination and the planned game not working out, at least not without a lot of time, I don't know if I can picture LP anything today. Do any of you guys want to do today's update instead, or would you rather I stream a game?

By the way I'm going to need someone else to play on the 21st.

Aah, screw it. I'm going to be playing "Tower of Heaven" on the stream in roughly 7 minutes! Come watch here!

I am very sorry that I haven't found more games to text LP, I'll find some soon. Suggestions are welcome (if you requested something please re-request it, I have terrible memory)!

Honestly with the work involved in this I think you're well excused for playing whatever. I'm absolutely amazed a day hasn't been missed so far as it is.

Yeah I try to make sure I don't miss a day. 's pretty much all I can do.

Stream over; My mic was off though and I didn't realize so uh, no commentary this time. Sorry!

....................
I'M LATE FOR THE STREAM! DAMN!

Note to self, procrastinating + fleeting interest + long-term project do not go together.

And that's why I'm LPing at 3 AM, forcing myself to take a break from my doodling.

Today's game is "Baby-faced Vampire"! You can thank Nerys for this one.


D'aww, isn't that cute. I go to start a game and--


The title screen changes, with a thunderclap to boot.
Geh. Simple, but mean! No game with "baby-faced" should get to have jumpscares!


Actually, it starts on a very pleasant evening!


Ooh, party!

I can't help but imagine his neighbour is Pinkie Pie.


Aww! It's okay, Dunstan.
I'm sure you can sneak in! Nobody'll notice!


N-No, I meant, you can sneak in and be part of the party. Don't eat people!
That's why you don't get invited to parties!



Well, the bat is clearly cuter, but the dog may be more practical.
Hmm...

Bat! Because it's cute and more difficult to notice! Or so I guess.

Doggy! Bats tend to freak people out.

But it's like... A wolf.
I would be more freaked out if I saw a wolf than a bat.

A wolf can pass for a dog. A bat is a bat is a bat.

... well Sofa was faster so BAT IT IS
I wanna go to bed okay




Quick! Are we a gay vampire or do we like the ladies!?

Blue!

Oh! It's just for dress-up.
... would we have gotten a dress going to the pink room?...


But of course he doesn't know who to dance with!


(I swear, this is like Speedrun: The LP)

Brown hair GO GO GO!

Brown haired girl in the green dress!

.................. That's difficult.
Girl with brown hair, I guess...

Red hair.
