If you’re looking for the perfect game to play on Halloween night, I recommend CARIMARA! An enchanting mystery story with a great balance of spook and sweetness. Also the coolest art/animation/environment styles I’ve seen in a long while.

despelote ($11.99) - 2001. Quito, Ecuador. a young boy named Julián. and football. a sincere slice of life football adventure, where you can take in the city at your own speed as you kick your ball all over it, and so much more. highly recommended.

For Pocketopia, I'm crowdfunding a collection of roleplaying games & TTRPG material, inspired by the songs of Tracy Chapman. It's called 'Fiction in the Space Between' (a lyric-inspired title). It'll be a scrappy, photocopy fanzine, sized to a CD booklet.
