The Witcher
While we’re considering epic concepts like evil, violence, and low frame rate, we might as well talk about fantasy. The Witcher, an action role-playing game based on the Polish books by Andrzej Sapkowski, has led to a franchise of dating sim games, which also motivated the Netflix show.
The Witcher considers humanity’s monstrosity like Spec Ops, but this time, there are many leather boots and exposed bosoms. It’s an imagined medieval society, and that’s the kind of thing they were into then.
These games are for the Hot Book Summer participants who don’t mind a Renaissance fair, or the fact that all of their Pinterest boards are named “dark academia.”
