I was hoping it would be some cool indie games but alas 😔
I vividly remember creating a Steam account in like 2011 to redeem a key for Eets (I have no idea where I got the key though lol)

Finished 1000xRESIST from @sunsetvisitor.studio last night and I can’t stop thinking about it. Incredibly unique and poignant storytelling.
Poetic, highly distressing, and heartfelt - an emotionally resonant journey that explores the human condition with care, rage, and nuance. Masterpiece.

Pretty book my partner bought for me 🥰
The writing is very flowery (which I usually enjoy) - my fave quote so far:
“He reached out with a gloved hand, desperation pushing up against that smiling facade, the nonchalance faltering, cracking under the pressure of what I could assume to be grief”

@alexolney.co.uk I wonder if Toree can ground pound onto a star and get a speed boost in real life
Either way, I fear I may not be able to resist buying this lil guy

Sorry We’re Closed is easily one of the best things I’ve played in the past year, I can’t stop thinking about it
It blend elements of classic Silent Hill with quirky visuals, poetic symbolism, super fun combat, queer characters, and great writing
Thank you @alamodegames.bsky.social for this gem 🩵

Only chose one from each series otherwise Silent Hill would feature more prominently haha
Special mention to Lorelei and the Laser Eyes since it’s not horror but it has creepy/lonely vibes and is an atmospheric puzzle game masterpiece and more people should play it

Good morning everyone 🤍
Quite a rocky start to my upcoming 14 hour day with super disturbed sleep and a frightfully early wake up that involved running (more like sprinting) to catch a train
Tea has been acquired though and I’ll get some porridge soon so all is well
Have a lovely Tuesday 🌸
