One thing I initially found off-putting about UFO 50 - Spelunky developer Mossmouth's new release... is that it doesn't give you any context for the games... It’s just a grid of 50 games...
But perhaps Mossmouth was wise in this decision - this is one of those situations... if your game is engaging enough and you leave a blank space for the community, they'll be more than happy to fill it in themselves.
Over on the small but active UFO 50 subreddit, UFO 50 heads who've been soaking in all the rich interconnected details that Mossmouth packed into the games have naturally started to role-play a world in which the LX, and UFO Soft, are very much real.
It started on Wednesday with a simple thread prompt from redditor DorikoBac: "Can we do the thing people do when fictional history is made and pretend that the games from UFO 50 were our childhood games?"
