#video game demo

[rapid-artwork]

VERSION 2.0 of my horror visual novel Mother's Favorite is live right now!

This has been 4 years in the making! This version of the demo covers 1/3rd of the total game and gives a pretty good slice of the atmosphere, characters and story.

The demo is free to play with a 'pay what you want' option. It would mean the world to me if this was shared around and given constructive criticism if possible.

Please note this game is a horror game and is not suitable for all audiences. A full list of content warnings are available on the itch.io page for those interested.

I am honored and humbled by all the people who have stuck with the project this long and have contacted me about their interest!

Have fun and try to keep Fourth alive!

Our Dollhouse

The game plays like your usual visual novel, the story isn't captivating, but the theories on figuring out how and why are what made this game stay in my brain.

If you have an hour or so to kill and want something to do, I suggest downloading the Our Dollhouse demo (it is free). Let me know what you think about it.

How do I find, an obscure video game demo CD.

All I remember is that on it was:

The demo for Star Wars Episode I : Pod Racing

Star Wars Droidworks

I know that there were other Demos on that CD too, but I don't know the names of said games

I vaguely remember that maybe the Demo for Heroes of Might and Magic III was on the CD as well, but I can't remember if that is true.

"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...

Game by Tim Larick (aka Tripglyph)"

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."

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.

This is me after playing the demo for the 500th time already

I made a little decorating prototype. Nothing fancy - keep your expectations low! But it was fun to build, I learned Godot in the process, and it came out kind of cute if I do say so myself! Can't guarantee there aren't bugs but it's a fun little toybox if you've got a minute or five.

Play it here!

What if I told you I got the new update of the game and now I’m in love with him..and the apron is fucking killing me..

Critical PSA to Balatro or Mahjong or general Roguelike Deckbuilder Lovers for the amazing looking upcoming game ULTIMAHJONG!

ULTIMAHJONG is in the exact spirit of the likes of Balatro, Bingle Bingle & other casino/gambling-based roguelikes/deckbuilders that have been inundating the indie gaming scene recently and which I’ve personally been happily drowning in! In this case the base game is Mahjong & it’s straight up Riichi Mahjong based thankfully rather than the deluge of puzzle solitaire tile matching games that overwhelm Steam

Currently has playable demo on top of being Wishlistable. The dev predicts a release this year & I’m absolutely purchasing it on day one if for nothing else than to reward a halfway legitimate Mahjong game!

Speaking of the dev, they themselves ran through a few rounds of the early game to show it off:

Don’t know how many this post will reach but I’m happy to do my part to raise the population of Mahjong Enthusiasts out here on top of supporting innovative indie devs & their projects!

EDIT:

My luck finding out about these types of personally niche games seems to remain at an all time high because I’m obliged to update this post with a 2nd Roguelike Mahjong Deckbuilder on the horizon: AOTENJO

Similar to ULTIMAHJONG in intent but with its own distinct style & also has a free demo on Steam to try out.

One of AOTENJO’s major features is the inclusion of multiple regional mahjong variants to enrich the variety of the play experience!

Unlike in the case of ULTIMAHJONG, AOTENJO’s developer XO Cat’s YT channel (under the moniker NonToxicEel), lacks a similar in-depth breakdown of the game’s demo but does have a few videos attempting speedruns of the demo and are still a recommended watch to get the game flow & feel they’re aiming for:

Once again, I’m happy for the Mahjong renaissance we seem to be getting in the realm of gaming post-Mahjong Soul & Balatro!
