Play Contact (Psyfer) Online
You crash-land on a weird planet while a professor in your DS talks to you like you're part of the game—he'll even comment if your battery's low. Cook by rubbing stuff on the touchscreen, punch enemies with satisfying timing, and soak in those crispy pixel vibes.
Contact came out on the Nintendo DS in 2006, developed by Grasshopper Manufacture. It was part of that wave of DS games that really tried to do something different with the hardware, using both screens in a way that felt more integrated than just a map or an inventory.
You control a young boy, Terry, who is guided by a professor watching from the top screen. You explore the world screen by screen, fighting monsters in real time by tapping them or using timed button presses for special attacks. A big part of the game is combining items by physically rubbing them together on the touchscreen to cook meals or create new gear. The pacing is deliberate, with a focus on exploration and experimentation over pure action. It feels like a strange, cozy adventure where you are an active participant in the world, not just an observer.
