has anyone here played the overseer fangames/sburb simulators?

they're browser games that are old as hell (like...over a decade old, i'm pretty sure), and i hadn't touched them in YEARS until the old-web-ish-ness of this forum reminded me of em. i remember the site for v2 going down multiple times for weeks at a time until it finally kicked the bucket, then v1 went down and i thought they were both dead for good. but i think both of them got revived only a few months ago from what i'm seeing! the ui is absolutely everywhere and a bit hard to wrap your head around since you're thrown into there with no tutorial, but that's lore-accurate, i guess. X) and it's really easy to get invested in once you get the hang of it. i remember having multiple browsers open just so i could play multiple characters in a session i was a part of. i'm pretty busy at the moment, but looking at these sites is making me want to play again hehehe. it's how i made a lot of fun facts for ocs that i still use years later!

i mention other sburb games in the topic because i want to know of more obscure ones!! tablestuck is obviously UP THERE considering it's got its own board on here, but i wanna hear about the smaller stuff! first examples that come to mind are minestuck (i mean, duh, it's a minecraft mod LOL), the genesis project, and some of the projects on farragofiction. not exactly THAT obscure, but i hope you guys get the idea.

i'm sure there are a ton more simulators out there, and i think it would be really fun to put together a group to explore small things like that in the future. tell me about them if you know of any!
