The sounds like the premise for a Mario creepypasta horror game.
Or a joke rom
Or a Dorkly skit “The mushroom kingdom gets gentrified”
honestly this is how Tears Of The Kingdom made me feel. the world is basically the same as Breathe Of The Wild except all messed up and all the kids have grown up. too real for me.
Very Old Games -> Link’s Awakening
I feel personally attacked
I was thinking the reverse.
“New Game -> KSP” It’s 12 years old
I was 17 when that came out.
Prince Of Persia is Mullah Of Iran now
Anyone that ditched WoW back in 2007 or so, or any other long running MMORPG for 8+ years, and never looked at it again can experience something very close to that by just logging back in.
Woof, no thank you. WOW consumed so much of my time back in those days. I can still look back on it all with fondness. The couple of times I have peeked behind the curtain since then have only made me sad.

Running through Classic with my group of high school friends was pretty damn magical. We all played together at launch and it was pretty much all we talked about between classes. We had all drifted away through the years with other responsibilities, but WoW brought us back together.
We don’t play WoW anymore, but now we all hang out in discord all of the time and play other stuff. A few of us are setting aside time for Baldurs Gate 3 now!
The games themselves have changed, but I think it’s the friends that can bring me back to a different time.
I played Ragnarok Online back in the old day and dropped it around 2006 or something. A few years back i download a private server and log back in, and found out Morroc is destroyed. It’s so bizarre.
No! What happened to Morroc!!! Best BGM in the game.
Got destroyed by some demon king or something. I think it’s in the Nova RO server.
I want to play this

Then there’s animal crossing shaming you for abandoning it
Weeds and roaches everywhere.
I love and hate the feeling in Animal Crossing that the world has just continued existing without you for the last 18 months that you haven’t booted it up. Feels like visiting old friends… but old friends that thought you were dead or something.
My fishtanks in fish tycoon didn’t bother shaming. They straight up gave me nightmares.
Guy gets back to his old Sim City save only to find that, without a government randomly raising taxes on it’s citizens, the city thrived. The moment he tries to raise taxes up from zero, he is assassinated and the game shuts off, refusing to open again.
Is this what libertarians fantasize about playing city builders?
If anything it’s mostly cause I played Sim City as a little kid and I played it terribly. They most assuredly would have done better.
(In the OG you could literally be like “surprise, 20% taxes!”)
Fair enough, hah
I always wondered why they complained that I put nothing but rails down. I loved trains as a kid, and would have loved a city that was only trains for transportation, lol
You were ahead of your time on environmental action, haha. I bet making a 15 minute city in Sim City is frowned upon, too.
That’s one of the things I like about digital storage, things don’t change or degrade.
Most times when I boot Subnautica it’s forgotten my save file :(
That sounds like a good thing! I’ve replayed through it at least 3 times over the years.
Honestly, my favorite part of survival games is the beginning.
This feeling is the mood of Zac Gorman’s Magical Game Time webcomics
Thank you for the awesome hint, I love this!
So happy to see a reference to Escape Velocity. I spent so many hours playing that game as a teen, modding and creating my own spaceships in Mechanisto. Good times.
