Hi cuties! Since I’m new here…

My name is Emily and I co-host the indie game podcast No Small Games!!

You can also find me writing game reviews for the NSG site, streaming indies on Twitch, and committing acts of general nonsense elsewhere online!

Would love to make friends and talk games 💜

I’m finishing my first playthrough of Dispatch and I can’t believe we’ve already reached Chapter 8! Anyone wanna venture a guess at how much I’ll cry?

If you liked Blue Prince, The Séance of Blake Manor or The Roottrees are Dead this year, you gotta check out this list!! Who knew 2026 would be equally (or more) stacked with mysteries!

2026 has the potential to be an even better year for detective games than last year, which had at least 46 releases! I made a thread here for upcoming games I am aware of. If I have played the Demo or Playtested it, I will describe the games a bit, as well as when they state their release dates.

But I am now in a very big pickle of wondering what I start with?? Help???

As we wrap up the year, I can't help but reflect on how special the Off the Shelf series has been to me. So, I want to take this moment to both thank and highlight my amazing guests (see more about these shows in the comments).

Upon reviewing my year of gaming, I got a feeling that I was almost surprised to feel. Underwhelm. I cannot remember a previous year that I have played so many games that I either didn’t gel …

CorgiSpace by Adam Saltsman and published by @finjico.bsky.social is the perfect treat. A collection of retro style games that are well designed, thoughtful, and humorous. Fellow UFO 50 sickos will really vibe with this 😌 Some of the games are super laid back and chill! Fun 😌 🧡

Before I wrestle with myself and wrangle together my official top 10 games of the year, I wanted to give a little nod to another top list...

This is a thread of my top 10 favorite games to screenshot of 2025 😍📸
(in chronological order of release)
Screenshot of the game Ruffy and the Riverside. A bear wearing a long fabric hood is talking to a very goofy frog with a feathered cap, surrounded by stone walls, next to a large TV set Screenshot from the game Wanderstop. A young woman in warrior's clothing sits on a park bench next to a very large, round man wearing an apron. Screenshot from the game despelote. The scene seems to be the street outside some official building in Quito, Equador. A man selling newspapers shouts "extra, extra! Equador faces a desperate Peru, desperate like the Ecuadorians!" Screenshot from the game Death Howl. A woman with long white hair and a long cloak that covers her whole body stares into her reflection in a muddy pond in a bog.
