Now that we have finished the Blackwell Legacy CPT, and I don't think the next one is coming out this month, I would like to hold a vote on what we should play next.

I think hard games would be great, especially. People would try to finish the game by sharing ideas and helping each other out rather than looking for a walkthrough online. It would be a combined community effort to beat the game.
This would allow newcomers to try more challenging games without getting frustrated or having to rely on walkthroughs for the entire game.

I can lead the IMAGinE, which is a free game that you can download or play in your browser. It's a good game, but not especially well known. highlighting it wouldn't hurt. It's a hard (but fair) game.
But it doesn't have much of a story. You are trapped in a series of paintings and need to manipulate and interact with them to escape. So it would be difficult to create a CPT in the style of what MenhirMike made with Blackwell Legacy without it purely being a walkthrough.

The CPT experience would be us talking about the art of the paintings and giving hints to people who are stuck.

Would you be interested in this? Or do you have another specific game in mind?

Definitely interested in future community playthroughs!

I run a sort of book club, but for playing games myself and thought I'd share how selecting the next game works for that in case it's of any use:

- Everyone sends in a nomination for the next game
- The game have to fit certain criteria (Based on price, availability and length. This would probably be different for adventure specific playthroughs)
- Nominations are done blind so you only know what you have nominated (someone has to keep a list)
- The next game is picked randomly from the list. This way it's a surprise for everyone, but still takes into account that if multiple people nominate the same game there is a better chance of it being selected
- There's a set day for getting together and discussing at the end, but honestly it could work with an ongoing thread just as well Big Grin

Feel free to ignore if you're wanting to do it differently or take whatever aspects might fit with a CPT format

FWIW, my format was more inspired by the Adventurers Guild, which is a blog rather than a forum, and it was less of a communal and more of a Let's Play kind-of experience that way. Maybe a game like Imagine would make for a more engaging playthrough because it can be done puzzle-by-puzzle so the community can jump in and out as needed.

Can you send a link to the game, Joe

Here you go:
https://the-argonauts.itch.io/imagine


It looks like there is some interest in playing this game. If we can get about 10 people interested in playing, I think we're good to go.

Glad to hear it. It's a really fun game.
While I can't force you (nor do I want to), I would like to ask you to wait a little bit longer before playing it. Maybe a few more people will show up and we can start the CPT.
