Port Said Voices Dedicated to JRPG Stories and Metroidvania Maps
We are a small circle of players in Port Said, Egypt who write about narrative-driven RPGs and interconnected worlds because we can't stop thinking about them.
Read the StoryWhat We Stand For
The values behind every article we publish
We write headlines that describe what's actually inside the article, even if it means fewer clicks than a sensational one would bring.
Every contributor has logged real hours mapping Metroidvania worlds and following JRPG party arcs, not just skimming wikis for talking points.
Our recommendations aren't padded with sponsored placements. If a game gets covered, it's because we found something worth discussing.
We write for readers who already love these genres, not for casual traffic. Depth over breadth, always.

How We Build an Article
The editorial steps behind every piece we publish
Pick the Topic
We choose titles and mechanics based on reader requests, replay sessions, and genre anniversaries worth revisiting, favoring depth over trending headlines.
Replay and Research
Before writing, we go back into the game itself, mapping exploration routes or re-tracing story beats to confirm details firsthand rather than relying on memory alone.
Draft and Fact-Check
Each draft passes through a second contributor who checks names, timelines, and mechanics against the source material before anything goes live.
Publish and Discuss
Once live, the article opens for community comments, and we often update pieces later based on corrections or new perspectives from readers.
What Readers Say
Their piece on backtracking design in Metroidvania maps made me replay two games with a completely different eye. Not the usual surface-level list article.
I sent their JRPG party dynamics essay to three friends the same day it went up. It's rare to find writing that treats these games as seriously as they deserve.
Been following since their second year online. The writing got noticeably sharper, and they still answer comments themselves, which says a lot.
Asked a question about a side quest chain in the comments and got a full paragraph reply within a day, complete with map references. That's dedication.
Their retrospective on lesser-known JRPGs introduced me to two titles I'd never have found otherwise. Well researched, not just recycled review quotes.
The writing style feels like talking to a friend who actually finished the game, not someone padding word count for a deadline.
