I do game at night. I just realized how much I have been doing it recently!

I'm fond of System Shock, though lately I have been playing games like AOE3 with a friend. Sadly I royally suck, so I just build lots and lots of walls while he defends them and amasses an army. My last game though, I managed to whip up my own army and do some damage myself. I felt really encouraged.

Our most fun game however, was strangely enough, when the AI brutally crushed us. I used every tactic possible to retreat while gathering resources, but alas, everything was razed to the ground. The whole time we were blasting some German music, relating to WWII. We aren't even /pol/,but being history buffs, it was hilarious. I was playing as the Germans, my friend the French. We ended up saying stuff like "The French are coming! The French are coming!" Heh. French-German alliance.

We were playing against the Turks and Indians, and so I said, "Shit, the kebabs are removing us!" The laughing afterwards probably considerably worsened our position though...

I keep on hearing about Yume Nikki. What's up with this game? Is it something like LSD?

I'll just leave these here

I like playing aimless exploration games that I can just lose all sense of time wandering around in.

Yume Nikki is a nice example as others have said. Another one I've sunk hours at a time into is The Path, a kind of grim, fairy-tale inspired affair. I think it's neat how it lets you visit (more or less) the same world with multiple characters, who notice different details about it.

Sunless Sea is my go to. Musics pretty great, it triggers my Thalassaphobia, and the Lovecraft can actually be pretty sublime in places.

8/10 would advocate pirating or purchasing.

i like a nice, rp heavy open-world game late at night, since it's when i can focus and be alone and get really into stuff. Borderlands 2 has been my go-to for a while (liked BL1 more but BL2 has more stuff), but FO: New Vegas has made quite an impression (never played it until a few days ago).

sort of contrary to the whole feel of this board, but i can find a way to make it fit (plus it's following the thread theme). Hotline Miami and HM2: Wrong Number are great late-night games. the fast pace, neon colors, and electro music wouldn't seem to fit late at night, but they give an odd burnt-out focus. the psychotic, disjointed, coked-up atmosphere of the games goes so well with the music and aesthetics that it just..... works? one of those things that can't really be explained until you experience it.

>What games do you guys play when you can't sleep?

Dungeon crawlers, lately I've been playing Daggerfall. I like it but who ever designed these dungeons was a real sadist.

Just got Shadowrun Hong Kong but I can't start it before I finish my exams
