Games like 'Dusk', 'Amid Evil', and 'Into the Pit' are shining examples of a new FPS subgenre: the "boomer shooter" inspired by games like 'Doom' and 'Quake'.
“Boomer shooter” is the latest term to follow the likes of “Roguelike” or “Soulslike” in the realm of hyperspecific gaming subgenres. It applies to first-person shooters that intentionally harken back to the classic PC games of the late ‘90s like Doom and Quake.
I was gifted a very unique game in this style, called “Forgive Me Father”. I believe it was created by a single person and is extremely well designed and scary. If you haven’t checked that out, I would highly suggest it.
It was one of my first posts. I am excited about about Forgive me Father II. The story and the art are well done (putting it mildly). I’m trying to get an interview with the dev so I can write an article on the second one and stream it on release.
