"System Shock and Deus Ex, they were RPGs. People called them RPGs": Gloomwood's publisher isn't too keen on using the term immersive sim despite it being one
New Blood publisher Dave Oshry believes the term 'immersive sim' is a poor marketing term and that games like Gloomwood and Fallen Aces should be marketed as RPGs. He argues that classic titles like System Shock and Deus Ex were always considered RPGs, and that the genre's core elements of character building and immersion align with RPG definitions. Oshry suggests that marketing games as RPGs would likely yield better results than using the 'immersive sim' label.
