I beat Consume Me over the weekend.
I loved it but the middle did lose me a bit. Glad that I got back to it because it ended strong and had maybe the best credits ever(?)

@dogwitchgame.bsky.social was the first game that I rolled credits on in the new apartment. A few hours in the demo prepped me to have a successful run by my 3rd attempt.
Now I can unlock more bonkers items for increasingly broken builds :)

It feels like every week lately is a wild week in games, but this one is particularly big for my game interests.
Monday @mycard.utustudios.com released in early access, yesterday @glowfroggames.bsky.social put out a demo and tomorrow Bye Sweet Carole & Absolum release.
My backlog will have to wait

Then I immediately played a game about friendship and - with my ending at least - trans joy. Much needed this month.

Unintentionally played a game about social isolation shortly after moving 1,000 miles away from my friends 💔

I meant to add this a couple nights ago - I had a much needed break from stress + doomscrolling with this delightfully trans visual novel.
It gave me slight Serre vibes

I’m a sucker for tournament arcs :) I don’t even care if they progress the plot or not. They’re almost always fun.

I finally had the time to beat Is This Seat Taken? in the middle of packing to move across the country. No PC for me for a month, so this was a wonderful note to end on.
Perfect blend of clever & cute. Satisfying puzzles in silly situations. I loved it. Thanks again for the key @wholesomegames.com

Maybe the saddest game that I’ve played all year and one particular section was the scariest thing all year.
The moment credits started, I ran to get tissues and then gave my partner a hug.

I kind of capped off the first #MakeRoom stream with a fire-worshipping animal cult in what was supposed to be a garden.

I forgot that I can finally add this to the thread today.
Similar to some of my other recent favs, this one conveys a lot in a short time (less than 30 minutes).
Between this, ISAT and Serre I’ve become a total sucker for @insertdisc5.com ‘s writing
Looking forward to @truthscrapper.bsky.social

Sunday I streamed Poco and as someone who doesn’t have much of a history with point & click adventure games and who typically hates clowns, I loved my adventure with the world’s smallest clown.

I finally beat Gods Will Be Watching on stream last night. I definitely enjoyed the ride (especially the middle chapters) but I also appreciate that @deconstructeam.bsky.social gave me a heads up that the game was difficult because that made me play on easy, which was perfect for me.

I spent 8 days sick with Covid. For four of them I felt too bad to even thing about picking up a controller. The other four I binged all of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2.
Insomniac is just so good at making fun spidey games. I’ll never tire of simply swinging around NYC.

Some pretty stellar character design, open-zone exploration that actually compelled to me search every nook & cranny and solid combat.
I just wanted more narratively but had a great time playing it last summer.
