A strange little side quest
A quick detour while Kogama: Haunted Hotel waits for your next move: Early computer role-playing games helped turn rules, inventories, exploration and character progression into systems that could support long-form digital adventures. And then there is this: Space Invaders, released in 1978, helped push video games into mainstream popular culture. That is the kind of background detail that makes another attempt at Kogama: Haunted Hotel feel a bit more connected to the history of play.
