   Share a song that's a ghost or campfire tale.

   How fitting is Johnny Cash’s (Ghost) Riders In The Sky

   Bonus, here’s the version by Die Apokalyptischen Reiter

     @AqiDrago You've just reminded me of this phase I had of seeing Die Apokalyptischen Reiter live a lot for a few years around ~2011 and how much fun they were!

     @AqiDrago My German is virtually non-existent and I think I saw them live 6 times and have only one album (!), but Unter Der Asche is super fun, although I like their later more bombastic and symphonic stuff a lot too.

     (I first caught them at this concert, IIRC, so got to hear a variety - https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/die-apokalyptischen-reiter/2012/the-underworld-london-england-73de5a51.html)

     @AqiDrago Yes! They're (perhaps surprisingly given the image?) very thoughtful and I appreciate how ecologically aware some of their songs are.

     I can imagine that they have great live energy and songs to gloriously sing growl along to.

     Have you ever looked at translated lyrics of their songs?

     @AqiDrago

     May I recommend checking out @adventure - it's like a monthly book club, but for adventure games!

     Lucy Dreaming, the previous game from @tallstorygames is also very fun.

     And I guess you may have heard of the most recent Monkey Island game (https://returntomonkeyisland.com/) ?

     And, crossing this conversation's thematic streams, soon up on my to-play list is Virtuaverse, a recent p&c adventure with a soundtrack by @MASTERBOOTRECORD

     @HauntedOwlbear

     So… point & click adventure games. My favs are LucasArts, I still don’t understand why they ever stopped or just stayed with the shooter in space games. 😢

     I also like Simon the Sorcerer.

     I’ve played A Vampyre Story and also Ankh. I need to check what more recent offers there are, especially from German developers. I want to get more into games with a story. And if they are quirky even better.

     I’ll be sure to check out your friend @tallstorygames Heir of the Dog.
