New Let's Play! We're playing the Case of the Golden Idol, a detective game where by exploring the scene you uncover words that help you identify the people involved and what happened.

It's just excellent.

What I love so much about the Golden Idol games is that, as much as they present themselves as pure logic puzzles, they require at the same time an understanding of how illogical human behavior truly is. In order to fully grasp what’s happening in these scenarios, you have to grasp that these characters make short-sighted decisions, have skewed beliefs and nonsensical motives, and are capable of mistakes. When I hear people discuss these games, they make it seem like you have to be some kind of deductive logic robot to be good at it, but when I’m actually playing the game I find that it helps to exercise my human side, and that a lot of the answers are intuitable based on the emotions and personalities attached to the scene as much as the hard facts. I think that’s neat.

So this year I decided to keep a media journal of all the video games I've played. And as is custom from the Internet, I have decided to rank them. So, here they are:

I will also add that these are games that I have finished (or at least games I was done playing). I am currently still mid playing the games Penny Larceny, Justice Sucks, Baladins, and Tavern Talk (and let's not even talk about the games I've bought this year, but haven't gotten around to playing yet).

In today’s video, I play one of my most anticipated games of 2024, The Rise of the Golden Idol. Imagine if Return of the Obra Dinn and a nightmare set in MSPaint had a baby that set you puzzles about murders. It’s basically that.

do you think david goran and walter keene ever explored each other’s bodies.

The Spider of Lanka DLC is much harder than the base game - Watch the struggle here.

Upcoming 2024 Releases

Here's some smaller-scale 2024 releases I wanted to highlight. Happy holidays!

I backed Endacopia on kickstarter and it's been a pleasure to see the game come together. Andy Land's animations are such an excellent mix of cute, creepy, and funny.

I've been desperately awaiting this game for years at this point, mostly on the strength of the insanely cute character portraits. I'm picky about farming sims so I hope this scratches the itch.

Look at this trailer and tell me it doesn't kick ass

And finally -- a sequel to the (for me) much beloved 2022 game, The Case of the Golden Idol! I can't wait!!!

Other games I'm excited for that don't necessarily need me spreading the word:

Silk Song (please?)

Earthblade (from the makers of Celeste)

The Mermaid's Tongue (Next game in the series following The Tangled Tower)

Are there any indies you're hype for in 2024? I may stop posting every month next year, depending on how I feel. But I'll be sure to share good games as I find them :^)
