Nowa, a young man from the remote countryside, joins the local League of Nations watch on a joint expedition to nearby ruins; the Galdean Empire seeks powerful rune-lenses to amplify their magical technology. Will this lead to mutual benefit, or will darker ambitions reign...

WARNING: This week's #RatKingRec is not intended for anyone under the age of 18! Absolutely Perfect Specimen by
@chamberlilium.bsky.social and @ruinedpowers.bsky.social is a gut-wrenching horror/yuri visual novel about an android maid coming to terms with her identity under the care of her master.
A drawing of several characters on a highlighter yellow and black background. Top left is a silhouette, top right is smiling with long dark hair and reflective glasses, bottom left has a light colored bob with glasses and a maid outfit, and bottom right is a cute looking bear-like creature with stitching on it and large, vacant eyes. The maid character is on screen. Text: April 1st. Good evening, Diary! Well, this is my first entry in my brand new memory log! My name's Pan! I'm a super-totally cute android maid, built by the beautiful and oh-so genius Dr. Amy G. Dala! Pan is reaching toward Amy, who is looking uncomfortable and walking away through a door. Pan is restrained from reaching her by a red leash. Closeup of Pan, who looks very sad. Text: I've been so hungry latel. The fruits and deserts I'm allowed suddenly don't feel like enough. My stomach churns whenever I eat them and make me feel sick. I need more. I need substance.

The game features gorgeous art and music, and has over one hundred levels that you can play for free! It also boasts a sandbox mode, which you can use to design your own cities without the constraints of adhering to specific scoring conditions :D

A castle is positioned in the center of the map, with a small snow-capped mountain to the left. To the right is the rest of the city, featuring a marketplace and a smelter among a whole host of houses. A screenshot of the video game homewind. It showcases a fantasy city, still in the early stages of development. The main citadel sits in the middle of the map, surrounded by rolling green hills and sparse forest. Around it are a smattering of farmfields and houses.

Happy Friday! This week's #RatKingRec is Homewind by
Adi Zhavo. Homewind is a relaxing city-builder puzzle game where scoring is based on proximity.
The header for the video game Homewind. It features the game's name in a white font with wispy and fantastical strokes coming off the first and third letter. The background is a 2D skyline of fantasy buildings.

Hi everyone! This week's (slightly belated) #RatKingRec is Death of a Wish, the new stylish action-rpg from
@/melessthanthree. Take the role of Christian as he and his allies undergo a surreal battle to dethrone the cult that raised him and liberate the world of Neo-Sanctum.
Screenshot from the game. Scratchy, colorful pixel art lines form a rough environment. An orange figure in the same style is speaking. "But for the devout... the new Sanctum... my Kingdom of Heaven... it will rise..." Screenshot from the game. Various pixel art sprites in different colors are place around the scene. The background is dark. They appear to be figures, plants, and lampposts. Screenshot from the game. A hazy purple background with a couple of small figures on it. There are health bars on screen, and they seem to be fighting. Screenshot from the game. A dark purple background with pale drawings of trees scattered about. Bloody carcasses lie in the center.

This week's #RatKingRec is a collection of browser games made by @/weepingwitch on Tumblr! Not only are these little games charming and creative, they're also playable on any browser or device.
Tumblr screenshot that reads: "i know this means absolutely nothing to most people but basically all of the little web game things I've made recently (angels in automata, hex plant growing game, d.a.n.m.a.k.u., life music, sudoku land, the metroidvania style map editor, etc etc etc) are all entirely self-contained individual client-side html files that can be downloaded and run offline and have literally no libraries or frameworks or dependencies, because i'm an insane woman who enjoys hand coding my input handling and display code from scratch in vanilla js and having it all live in one single html file with the game logic and the page structure and the page style all just living and loving together side by side in a universal format that can be run by any web browser on any devixe. i'll even include image files as base64 data-uri strings just to keep every single asset inside the one file."

It's a little bit rough around the edges, but the stilted dialogue adds to the spectacularly creepy vibe of this open world survival horror cult classic PS1 game by developer KAJ.
