'The game centers around a neglected wizard-apprentice, who is only now stretching their legs in the world of Earrather. You’re going to be learning on-the-go how to prepare poultices, potions, spells, and enchantments for the people of a small and troubled, but idyllic northern town.'

I just know in my heart of hearts that in "Star Trek" at one point, there was some moral panic somewhere on Vulcan (among the uppity sorts) because Human culture was "infecting" the local youth with their overly emotional, destructive, unproductive, frivolous, and uneducational ways.

And what was actually happening was that a bunch of Vulcan kids got really into 23rd-century "Minecraft" or something.

Small Vulcan child @ another Vulcan child: (in a tone that sounds flat to Humans but angry as hell to Vulcans) "You have compromised the optimization of my fortress. I am having an emotional urge to blow up your house... in Minecraft."

"After finishing the usual cat stuff, Inky settled down on his favorite pillow in warmth and comfort, as he always did. But, sinking into slumber, instead of the usual cat dreams, Inky saw quite unusual things...

Will Inky be able to solve the mysterious riddles and find a way out in the tangled labyrinth of the subconscious? A whole night ahead, but his cat instincts won't let him delay - in the darkness of slumber something is looking for him...

The Invincible: A Promising Sci-Fi Walking Simulator

Here’s a walking simulator I can’t wait to play. Question: What’s a walking simulator? Answer: A game whose mechanics include little other than exploring a virtual space. They’re not mechanically complex, but they can be engaging. Every time I’ve seen the Invincible, I’ve become that much more certain it’s exactly the kind of narrative game I will find engaging. The demo I played during June’s…

If the Rebirth demo had you playing as Sephiroth the whole time:

His long pauses between actions just make him so awkward and adorable at the same time, I can't even.

VizuL 1: Empatia - Adventure in Nice Colors (demo)

VizuL is an urban fantasy wherein the in-universe magic system integrates to the gameplay. for players who are insecure with bullet hell mechanics, there's a Story mode in which boss battles are choice-based

Mirtilo is a very troubled girl. She left her home behind to search for her missing parents. That same morning, moments later, her cousin Garoa pays her beloved relatives a visit to find them missing almost without a trace! No one is around and there's some evil entity out there. Come along this whimsical, colorful adventure with the two cousins seeking answers at their own pace.

game has original soundtrack composed by me and linear narrative that tackles themes related to racism and abuse.

reed of the lists and warnings. the demo goes up to the end of stage 3. time of completion varies, but it’s roughly bit less than an hour

many many thanks to my co-writer who'd like to remain undisclosed, and @alconteh who helped me animate a scene near the end of Garoa’s scenario. please support Al's work and attend to their twitch streams if you can 💚

After weeks of game play with the demo of Roots of Devour, I look at how distinctly #hplovecraft this #horror #steam #videogame is with my review at:

The Hungry Horrors free demo is out now on Steam!

It’s our first ever Steam release – and we’re nervous, excited, and very sleep-deprived.

We’d love for you to check it out.

Hungry Horrors is a pixel art roguelite deckbuilder where you feed legendary monsters from British and Irish folklore instead of fighting them. Build your deck with traditional dishes like Yorkshire Pudding, Boxty, and Bara Brith. Each card is a meal, and every monster has their own taste.

Get it right? They let you pass.

Get it wrong? You become the next meal.

If you’re into:

• roguelites with actual strategy

• folklore, fairytales, and mythological creatures

• games like Slay the Spire or Hades

• cooking mechanics that aren’t just minigames

• grim but whimsical pixel art

…then you might just enjoy this.

The demo includes:

• 2 full biomes

• 6 unique monsters and 2 bosses

• over 20 traditional dishes

• deckbuilding, buffs, and branching paths

• and a really grumpy Buggane that hates potatoes

We’ve made everything in Godot, drawn every pixel in Aseprite, and poured our hearts (and stress) into getting this playable on Steam – including Mac, Linux, and Steam Deck.

If you give it a try, let us know what you think! Reviews help us so much with visibility right now, especially as a 2-person team self-funding everything.

Thanks for being part of this weird little cooking horror journey.

Clever Girls Demo: "Dress Rehearsal" Coming Fall 2024!

Hey all! We're super excited to announce an upcoming playable demo for Clever Girls! We're calling it "Dress Rehearsal". Check out the demo's steam page! Wishlist the full game on steam, and you'll receive an email when the demo launches. Clever Girls is a big project with a lot yet to be done! But, we wanted to get something playable to you all as soon as possible. We're making this demo as a small "rehearsal" that demonstrates what the full game will be like, with some key differences, and some work-in-progress features. Here's a breakdown:

In the "Dress Rehearsal" Demo, Fall 2024:

Bite-sized, non-canon, linear slice-of-life visual novel story. Get to know our main characters in a relaxed setting as they explore an abandoned campsite and perform some dramatic reenactments!

4 playable characters with unique combat abilities

An early look at a simplified turn-based stealth-battle system, with 3 battles including a tutorial. Special character abilities, too!

A mid-sized map to explore with ambience that changes as the demo story progresses, and plenty of interactions.

Features NOT in "Dress Rehearsal" that we want to have in the full game:

Branching storylines, and an in-depth relationship system spanning across friendships, romances and rivalries between all four characters

Full-fledged RPG progression system and new character ability unlocks

Many more zones and environmental interactions

Much, much more!

It's shaping up really well and we'll release it as soon as we feel it's ready! We've been working on it for a while and are targeting the remaining months of fall this year to send it out. Check out the steam page for even more details. Remember: If you wishlist the game on Steam, you'll receive an email when the demo launches. Thanks for reading! We'll leave you with some development art, a look at some studies of Sawyer, a utahraptor and an aspiring (if overzealous!) pack leader:

Stay tuned for more info (and a demo release date!) We'll send it as soon as we have it!
