Welcome to the Fandom Promo post, everyone!

Your game is the best game ever, and yet so few people have heard of it? Here's the post where you can tell everyone all about why they should play your game in particular. We have over ten days until signups close, which is more than enough time to play a game!

(Or several, if you don't sleep. Sleep is for those without gaming backlogs.)

FANDOM NAME: Death end re;Quest
WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: Shina has 99 problems and one of them is that she's trapped inside the prototype of a game that she was the director for with no memory of what happened to her or how this could even be possible. Fortunately for her the lead programmer, Arata, is more than willing to throw himself into saving her. Shina will finish the main quest and thus trigger the ending sequence for the game (so she can leave) while Arata will debug the game on the fly so that she can progress. Whatever could go wrong?

Shina's storyline is a more standard JRPG setup - she and a group of suspiciously sophisticated AI characters go on a quest to find a mythical land, which coincidentally is the trigger to finish the main quest of the game. The characters are all infected with Buggies which are clearly having some effect on the characters (though what is a big spoiler) but who are also weirdly adorable as well as the source of their powers. Arata's storyline is a thriller VN, focusing on the mystery about why Shina is in the game as Arata stumbles into a worldwide conspiracy. Also a lot of death. A LOT of death. The first death is the most gruesome; the rest are nowhere near as detailed in their descriptions. You can knock it over in about 20 hours.
WHERE CAN I FIND IT?: It's currently available on Steam and PS4. It's been out for about six months on PS4, so you should be able to find cheap copies pretty easily.

FANDOM NAME: Wild Arms 2 (or Wild Arms: 2nd Ignition)
WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: Have you ever thought to yourself "These modern games are too sensible; I want a plot with alien soul invaders who eat planets, where your quirky miniboss squad are two sentient lizards, and at one point you beat up a foetus (born from incest, naturally) in the womb while it is possessed by both an alternate universe and its father"? If you have, I have the game for you. I still don't know how this game got released.

Wild Arms 2 has it all: a cool soundtrack, a great setting, villains who have their own reasons for what they do, and interesting characters and concepts. You play as members of ARMs, a group of international peacekeepers trying to unite the world against Odessa who want to rule it. The party is made up of a war hero who has been vilified for his actions as they are inconvenient for the current world order, a sorceress-in-training with survivor's guilt after her sister died to save her, a junior militia member whose first day on the job ended up with everyone being possessed by demons and he had to kill them all to survive, a woman who turned herself into a cyborg to save the world, a boy who can hear the spirits whose mother took him away from his destiny, and a vampire that joined your party through Weird Time Travel Shenanigans. If you like deconstructions of heroism, if you like characters being terrified of the alien invaders inside them, and if you're willing to put up with what is at times a pretty terrible translation, then Wild Arms 2 is a great way to spend 30 hours.

WHERE CAN I FIND IT?: It is currently $5.99 on PSN, available for PS3, PSP and Vita. Otherwise, you can emulate it, as it is an old PSX game.
