Video Game Art

Video games are not mere time killers. They are albums of sound, aesthetics, animation and narrative.

This community is in appreciation of that. Screenshots, fanart, animations, gameplay clips. It is all welcome here.

The one common thread should be an eye for the aesthetic. This is not a place to discuss mechanics or stats, but to show off simply the artistic, expressed through the video game medium.

  1. All rules of the parent instance apply. That is, sopuli.xyz
  2. Include the name of the game your post is associated with in the post title.
  3. If your post is fanart, include a link to the artist in post body, if you can. You may also ping @saucechan@ani.social to have it attempt to find the source for you, and provide it in a comment.
  4. MARK ANY TEXT SPOILERS, as for art, do not post content that outright spoils key moments of a games narrative. Content that can only be understood with the context of having played the game, is ok.
  5. No generative AI art.

The Medium.

I enjoyed the game a great deal, and it has MANY bone-chilling sequences like this one that utilize pure atmosphere and narrative to evoke truly imposing dread.

This is concept art for one of the many monsters in the game that exist right outside reality. A dimension in which the protagonist partially exists in addition to reality, hence, she is a "medium" able to communicate with both the living and the dead.

The monsters on the other side are representations of a corresponding living, or dead, person.
