As soon as I saw that Thank You For Your Application had Papers Please vibes, I knew I had to check out the demo!

The stakes aren't as high but it still gets the heart racing.

You can also buy a plant for your mental health, the company definitely has your interests at heart.

The new Steam Personal Calendar is amazing!
Not only can it show you games you might vibe with, but also games on your wishlist.

I've just found so many new games to check out.

The After School Afterlife (@minibunnies.bsky.social) demo was super weird and very cool. I failed at platforming so they all laughed at me 😅

I beat the boss though, so I guess I showed them.

Also considering fishing 237 guppies. 🎣

Give it a try here:

Herdling is a beautiful adventure, from bustling urban streets to snow-capped mountains with fields of flowers bursting out here and there.

The pace is slow and gentle, but never without peril; After all, a shepherd must stay ever vigilant.

Patiently waiting for Silksong with my new bug pals.

Less than two days to go!

Something that stood out to me in Tiny Bookshop, is that some characters will ask for a non fiction book. It doesn't matter what it's about, they just want to learn.

I don't think I've ever picked up a book without having some interest in the subject first, but now I think I might give it a try!

I'm not a big achievement hunter, but if I see something that is silly and relatively easy to get, I will do it to the detriment of my game.

Fortunately, in this case (@tinybookshopgame.com), the stakes are pretty low.

No one was harmed on this dangerous day of trade... as far as I know.

I started playing Tiny Bookshop (@tinybookshopgame.com) today, and then 4 hours had past!

I set up shop at a new location and a character that looks just like me walked by!

So, now I'm pretending I'm a character in the game and I live in Bookstonbury. 📔

The Woodo demo is excellent! I've been keen on playing the game since I first saw the wooden toy vibe, but the demo exceeded all expectations!

I love how it brings together the world and story with the gameplay.

Not indie, but I've been playing Assassin's Creed: Shadows and have spent a lot of time taking NPC portraits.

Who needs the main quest line 😅

Something I enjoy with Assassin's Creed games is the little interaction. Shadows doesn't have much of that, so I'm just making own.

When I first played Station to Station, what I really wanted was to zoom in on the towns and see what the people were up to.

With Town to City you can do just that! I got sucked into the demo and played more than an hour, and I didn't even finish it!

Soggy Beans is a cozy, cute side idler where fish come and go, and sometimes, they push a lever full of beans.

It’s chill, but you’ll still find yourself willing them to just nudge it.

Finley came through with 48 beans in one go. Time to decorate my little sea space!

Bought it almost instantly! I love my character!

Map Map feels like a game where I could say "just one more map" and then five hours have flown by.

Get thrown onto an unknown island and find a specific landmark. Then mark it on your map.

You get scored based on how close you were. Surprisingly satisfying. Especially because I got one spot on!

After a busy day at work, Tranquil Isle is the perfect way to unwind.

A touch of city building, charming art, and people hanging out - I love zooming in on their tiny lives.

Puzzle your way through classic mode or potter about in sandbox. Whatever you need today.

Assemble With Care (@ustwogames.co.uk) is such a charming little experience with excellent voice acting and gorgeous art!

I loved tinkering around with the objects Maria fixed, and getting an opportunity to get closer to the locals as I did.

A touching story and overall good time!

Nick is doing cool work with The Underground Arcade - a space for young adults living with disabilities.

They do stuff like DnD nights, 3d printing, VR, games etc.

So, if you have some spare Humble keys stashed away (I had 70!), consider donating them!

I was going to go with The Matrix too. Opted for Titanic instead.
My Matrix scene would be this one though.

Silksong has a 'release window' (that's what I'm calling it). Could we finally have the game within the next 8 months??

I love Hollow Knight and Hornet is such a good character! I can't wait to play as her in her own game!

SHA!

It's the start of the month and that means it's time for a new game club game!

This month's winner is Wylde Flowers!

We're discussing it all month long in the @cozygamingclub.bsky.social Discord server.

So join us and remember to pick up the game club role:

Went to find my next favorite Mario-like Portal-like and got fart physics instead 😂

Trevor is a resident of Arcadia. He gets up, he goes to work as an accountant and then he goes home. It’s a quiet life, but it’s his life. Little does he know that he’s actually part of a huge reality TV show: American Arcadia.

There are so many idle desktop games and pets coming out at the moment!

It's giving me 90s nostalgia when we'd download anything that looked like fun!

One of my favourites was PostPet where you also got to send mail to your friends.

Do you play any idle desktop games? What is your favourite?
