One last spooky game for the season!
Exit 8 by @kotakecreate.bsky.social really gets that obsessive, nit-picky part of your brain going and when you miss an anomaly, the feeling of not being able to trust your senses and of despair of starting from scratch.
Really enjoyed playing it.

Played Norco by @geographyofrobots.bsky.social for @pixelexplorersclub.bsky.social Game Club.
It was an interesting and layered experience. I had seen it be recommended as a similar vibe to KRZ and yep, they are "of the same cloth"
Happy to finally play it, It had some scenes I really loved.

Played Pools by @tensori.fi
It promises pools and it delivers pools, so many pools 🏊♂️
I was captivated by the game and had a eerie yet peaceful time navigating the sprawling spaces of the game.
Would definitely take another plunge If I ever get a VR machine.

I played Carimara developed by @bastinusrex.bsky.social.
It's perfect for the season, a bite-sized spooky game that oozes creepiness and delivers a dark fairytale-esque world in spades.
I would buy it again just for the visual style; it has a low poly yet textured look that I love.

Finished Fear the Spotlight by @cozygamepals.bsky.social
It was a great bite sized game, it kept things moving and tension high. I was so invested 😅
While playing I kept thinking, this would be the perfect game to introduce a couple of nieces to horror games. It is a modern Goosebumps 🧟

Played Pocket Boss by @playables.net.
I've kept an eye out for this game since its announcement. It mixes two things that are part of my "day to day", games and data viz.
It's was a bite-sized enjoyable experience. I'd say, play it on your phone for the best experience. Its well worth a try.

Began the spooky season with Crow Country by @sfbdim.bsky.social.
A love letter to the PS1 era of horror-survival but also so much more. I love its low-poly style, it has so much personality.
What really ties everything together is the story's ending and reveal, the game goes from good to great.

Played Echoes of the Emergent by @rngparty.bsky.social. It was more visual novel than game. It was fun though and it made me realize the Playdate is a great device for reading.
The story is catchy and the art for the scenes was very well done. It was the perfect fit for a 2-hr train ride.

What The Crow!? for Playdate is nice, I've been playing on and off for a couple of weeks now and its always fun to jump in, cause some havoc for a couple of minutes and then peace out.
Opening the second level without invincible mode on seems impossible though hehe

Blippo+ is back and in color!
It stills scratches a very specific itch that very few things scratch nowadays. Zapping TV channels might not be everyone's jam BUT if it is your jam, then this is your jam.
Clone Trois is still the best show, hand down 😤😤😤

I finished Threshold by @pataloon.bsky.social and it kept circling in my head. It's really an evocative game, the kind that makes you want to discuss what you think it all means.
It's also the kind of game that is better to go blind into.
So, try it!
You will not regret it.

Finished Citizen Sleeper by @jumpovertheage.com for @pixelexplorersclub.bsky.social game club
The music and the art style really brought the setting to life. The story caught me, I liked making my mark on the Eye, deciding its future.
Looking forward to playing the second one in the future.

Got to room 46 in Blue Prince by @dogubomb.bsky.social!
This game is extremely hard to put down. I've enjoyed going through the Holly state again and again and again. Each time seeing it differently and discovering new secrets.
I've really enjoyed playing the game, one of my favorites

Finished Herdling by @okomotive.ch
I had fun leading my herd of beasties around and decorating them like little Christmas trees. The game uses the connection you build very effectively...
There are some moments, when you stampede with your herd that hit just right. Everything falls into place.

Finished "and Roger" by TearyHand Studio was a short and effective game. It make me shed a couple of tears by the time the credits were rolling.
It has beautiful music and the puzzles are engaging while grounding you in the story and the way the main character experiences life.

Many Nights a Whisper, by @deconstructeam.bsky.social, was a treat to play. A short game that explores performance anxiety, dealing with high expectations and asks you what wishes should be fulfilled.
It has a beautiful art style and the music is amazing. It's definitely a must play.

Time Flies gets under your skin after a while, you try to accomplish your goals, time runs out, you die. There is rarely time to spare...
And in the end, that is what I take away from the game—time flies, and how much you have is not in your control, so enjoy yourself and be kind.
