Greetings, ladies and gentlemen. Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Alutierre. Archivist, storyteller, madman. I stream a variety of works, offering what insights I can and weaving the sequential games together into a steadily unfolding, largely improvised narrative.
Upholding the pedigree of @hauntedps1.bsky.social Demo Discs, Flipside Frights contains a beautiful variety of demos full of love for surrealism as well as early internet culture. 500 Caliber Contractz from @brycebucher.bsky.social might be my favorite this year, full of creative and fluid movement.

A time and a place an often feel ephemeral as it twists from tangible to memory and prone to distortion. But even as the physicality of it disappears, the emotions remain. @despelote.game captures this well while offering insight into Ecuador as its culture is affected by both economics and sports.

Blue Prince is one of the most delightful rabbit holes I've delved into. A well-crafted puzzle roguelike that opens up into layer upon layer of worldbuilding, intricate puzzle-solving, and vast note-taking. It instills and rewards a healthy sense of paranoia as many puzzles lurk within plain sight.

Grief and heartbreak are immense feelings that people struggle to tackle at the best of times, and My Lovely Wife is a game that toys around with the underlying desperation. Would you go the full length to bring a dead lover back? Or will the temptation of something new degrade your steeled resolve?

I'm always enamored when a game tests my skills in new ways, and Dreams of Aether pushed my dexterity and split-second reactions to a new level. Every new stage finds a creative way to offer a refreshing challenge in a matter of seconds, while also offering practical lessons for Rivals of Aether.

Split Fiction is a game filled with creativity and a desire to explore new ground. Its narrative and gameplay all reinforce its core theme: Art is a human process. Our personal experiences color that which we create, making them all the more vibrant the more one embraces all of life, including pain.

A story almost always has multiple perspectives. Shifting between them can often be a dance, one that's fraught with missteps, but one that can expand the story in pivotal ways. It's a style that lends well to noir-inspired works, where a mystery often has steadily unfolding layers from many sides.

There's always been a special place in my heart for Under Night. Its aesthetic and dedication to pixel art is a strong draw, anchored by its fantastic mechanical design choices. Massive normals and offensive pressure are offset and defined far more by how much power lies in fundamental defense.

Shadow of the Colossus is a truly timeless classic. A game that, despite having much influence on games that followed, has yet to be replicated. From the moody atmosphere and art style to its unique gameplay loop, it brought a forgotten world to life, pushing the PS2 to its limits with every step.

Of the many cinematic adventure games across the decades, Until Dawn understands the assignment better than most. A strong love letter to horror films, weaving multiple subgenres into a cohesive narrative. Choices feel more meaningful when you truly control who lives and who dies by the story's end.

Speed kills frequently in Hell of an Office. The final stretch was a particular highlight, offering a high-stakes slip n' slide, wall running, and greater control of your jump height. Side quests throughout the story portions add to the absurd humor and set dressing, often in unpredictable ways.

Haunted Castle is a game that's sat in the backlog, taunting me for years. A Classicvania built for arcade, quarter-munching difficulty? It's a recipe for quite the mountain and one that, finally toppled, was made all the sweeter by getting to share and revel in the moment with so many dear friends.

I'm not one to get lost in puzzle games very often, but I found myself losing track of time so easily in Lorelei and the Laser Eyes. Every puzzle opens a new door, cascading into a grand, interconnected art piece. Even when building upon established ground, there's always a new twist to be solved.

It's always endearing to see a community take to a game. After steadily spreading the good word of Granblue Fantasy: Versus, not only have friends made notable strides in improving at the game, but even important steps in handling mental health and the stresses of PvP. You can't forget the C in FGC.

Indie developers are important for any field, showing more of what a medium or genre can be, unrestrained by the need to turn infinite profits. This is especially true for older and more niche genres where perceived design rigidity leaves room for a wealth of new opportunities to flip the script.

2024 had a recurring trend among indie fighting games: Channeling the past. So many concepts rooted in an idea from a bygone era in some form or fashion, but each of them build upon those foundations with fresh ideas. Not simply repeating the past, but carving many new paths towards the future.

Among 2024's indie fighting games, Rivals of Aether 2 stands alone atop the mountain. No matter how you play, be it 1v1s, 2v2s, or free for all, the game just feels rewarding. Every character has a distinct skill that offers satisfying layers to even the characters most built to pick up and play.

Familiarity has its time and place. In many ways, Visions of Mana feels like a safe, classic JRPG, especially in its visuals and storytelling. Perhaps too safe, but for someone who doesn't frequent the genre, its idealism is refreshing in an era full of antiheroes posing as philosophical villains.

Shadows of Doubt from @colepowered.bsky.social is such a unique experience. Procedural generated crime-solving is something you don't know you want until it's right in front of you. It may not be as infinitely satisfying as some procedurally generated games, but the fantasy provided is incomparable.

Using real world examples of inexplicable deaths and disappearances, Tokyo Psychodemic opens your mind to the possibility of the supernatural before asking you to solve them logically. You can lose track of who's in control at times, you or the narrative, creating periods of friction in progression.

Time capsules are important. A way to remember a specific moment so easily lost to time. Arn's Winter Quest is a love letter to the culture on the Starmen boards in the 2000s. It can prove grindy, as many RPG fangames do, but there's a youthful whimsy to it that's not embraced enough by other works.

Holidays tend to carry a story. A moment of importance that resonates throughout a culture for centuries and millennia to come. Through those celebrations, you can learn to connect with others in new ways, as long as you're willing to listen with an open mind and, most importantly, an open heart.
