About this Event
The next meeting will take place March 15th at Vocari Hub. It starts at 1 PM and ends at 10 PM, but you don’t have to arrive exactly on time and you can leave whenever you want. The featured game is Slit-Fiction a co-op action platformer from Hazelight Studios who made the other cooperative adventure games It Takes Two and A Way Out. I will have Split-Fiction available to play on at least two PlayStation 5 and two Xbox Series X systems. The game has local split screen co-op and can also be played online but only supports a maximum of two players. You could also play different video games on any of the various systems I have hooked up at the event. I will provide four pizzas, Coca Cola and bottled water for guests to eat at the party.
The premise of Split Fiction is two aspiring writers are invited to try out a new VR game by a man named JD Rader which will read a person’s mind and turn any stories they have written into levels in the game. However an accident causes Mio’s hi-tech space city to mix with Zoe’s medieval villages and then the two of them must work together to escape the malfunctioning simulation. Most of the time it seems like the game is a third person platformer like Mario or Crash Bandicoot, but there are rail shooter sections, motorcycle races, and even 2D sequences. In fact Split Fiction has so much gameplay variety that it could easily be turned into a minigame collection like Wario Ware if there wasn’t so many cutscenes. Occasionally players will stumble across portals that lead to bonus levels called Side Stories which seem out place thematically, but were still determined fun enough to include in the game anyway.
I also want to address why there wasn’t a meeting for three months. The December party was going to be at my house, but it was too messy and I ultimately decided against it. In January I had to buy new dual stacked portable monitors, four terabyte Xboxs, and there was a rumor that Switch 2 preorders would open up but they ultimately did not. Too many games came out in February and I had trouble narrowing down exactly which game to feature. Basically I had to buy a lot of expensive gear to improve things and it was either delay the purchases or delay the meetings at Vocari Hub and I chose to forgo the parties.
