OFF

Ah, OFF, one of the most popular games for about 4 months over Tumblr. I think pretty much all of you know about OFF. If not, Here's quote from the Starman.net forum page: "In “OFF” you take control of a mysterious person called “The Batter”, who is described to be on an important mission. The Batter, and yourself as his controller, are dropped off in zone 0, the first of 4 zones in a perplexing, unknown world about which you slowly find out more and more in the process of the game."The OFF fandom is slowly getting invisible, and it's not as prominent on tumblr anymore. Never the less, the game is extremely well-made. With head scratching puzzles, good narrative, a complex world to explore, and home to one of the biggest plot-twists of the century, it still manages to make me go WTF. Feel free to discuss OFF here!

Definitely my favorite game of all time.
Even half a year+ after playing it, I'm still constantly examining the dialogue and symbolism and finding new revelations.

I think the most interesting thing in the game, to me, is the music. The soundtrack is strange, weird, and just crazy. My favorite tracks have to be "Unreasonable Behavior," "Stay in your Coma," "Not Safe," and who could ever forget the catchy "Pepper Steak Caravan Mix?" the OFF soundtrack is what I listen to when I'm drawing my ghosty, surreal horror OCs. One of my Ghost OCs has Unreasonable Behavior as their theme song whenever I'm drawing them.

T'was taking too long to not post 'bout Off. I pretty much like the story and somewhat the gameplay (it could be more refined, but alas).

4 months? I think it's been popular since the beginning of 2013, I remember calling January 2013 "the month that OFF took over Tumblr". Everything on my dash was OFF.

I've written a theory for that game once.

Yeah, I remember that OFF was popular ever since early last year. I was seeing OFF everywhere also. I never did anything to contribute to the fandom (because I'm not good at making fan-stuffs). I've played through it once and recommended it to friends, but they probably didn't play it aha

I liked the off a lot and it promoted the mightyoest of feels
Especially the soundtrack- it reminded me of osamu sato's work quite a bit
