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 :)

More games need to let me play as a frog who both rides/surfs on their weapon & beats the shit out of baddies with it

What a stellar time for very different roquelikes

Finally beat Hades II. Time to tackle October releases I’ve missed.

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.

Ritual of Raven is also out today and the Capy Castaway demo dropped.
August 7, 2025 at 8:12 PM
(Woodo dropped a demo today while the others released 1.0 but still!)

Congrats to allll of the indies releasing today!

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.

Thanks, Cat 🌞 I have been known to glow sometimes

Today is my 3yr hrt-iversary 🏳️‍⚧️

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.
July 6, 2025 at 3:17 AM
Starting tomorrow morning I’m going to do a few @deconstructeam.bsky.social + @selkieharbour.com focused streams.

After these three, I’m planning on doing Red Strings Club as well but those streams are tbd.

twitch.tv/honestindies from 9am cst to 2pm ish cst

Since I need to replace the pride flag that had been behind me, right now there’s a poster for The Big Con behind me on my streams @mightyyell.bsky.social
