Hi, I'm Arly. I'm a massive fan of the indie game scene (and have even QA'd for a few). Currently, though, I make Indie Game Reviews, and the occasional developer interview.
You can check out all that noise @ www.youtube.com/c/CritHit - There's like, getting close to a decade of reviews now. Wheeee

It's in early access, but if you liked Absolum, don't overlook Wendigo Blue.
Similar roguelite brawler structure, but it goes heavier on both sides of the equation. Some nice crunchy stat stuff, but also technical, combo-heavy combat
Also set in the same world as Valdis Story, if you remember that

I just had to go with the classic blue & white art style for the automap. And, now players get to enjoy that art too!

Okay. So. For years now, people have been telling me my content is good, and they wish /feel I deserve more people to see my stuff. But I am -horrible- at #socialmedia. Is there people that specialize in this sorta thing for #Youtube, and the #gaming sphere specifically? I do reviews ;.;

Any #videoeditors looking for work. The current Editor I have for my youtube (www.youtube.com/c/Crithit) might be retiring shortly because of the Dadliest of reasons.
So, Trying to figure something out, lest I be left in a lurch. I have so many #indiegames left to write about
