Luto, by @brokenbird.bsky.social, was a fun game that, while the puzzles confused me, probably because the spooky atmosphere got me tense, had a good developing story. #NarrativeGames #HorrorGames #LutoReview exploringthegames.substack.com/p/luto-revie...

Hey! I made a review on #blackshard by @redlockstudio.bsky.social Link below! youtu.be/toxL3M9CEyI

Indie games have just developed a especial place in my heart. And while I still enjoy these big blockbusters, I think indie games hold a higher value. Please, check my article below! exploringthegames.substack.com/p/aaa-vs-ind... #indiegame #GamingCommunity #gaming

Religious advocacy groups managed to pressure payment processing companies to remove NSFW games from Itchio and Steam. It's censorship, but who is behind this? Please, check my article below. Thanks! exploringthegames.substack.com/p/why-steam-... #collectiveshout #censorship

Video games can break your hear, and turn you brain off. Sometimes you can gain perspective from gaming, and other times, you just want to score the highest points. I wrote about comfort gaming, and narrative game. Please, check it out! exploringthegames.substack.com/p/comfort-vs... #indiegames

Listen to the whispers. Release the Signs. Reach Carcosa. I mean, have deities older than time ever done anyone wrong? Link to the review below! exploringthegames.substack.com/p/blackshard... #BLACKSHARD #LiminalSpaces #CosmicHorror #IndieGames

Topical, I know. BUT, it is something that has been on my mind for a long time. Especially considering that I played LoL for 10 years. exploringthegames.substack.com/p/what-happe... I mean, remember when WoW turned off its servers in China for a year? #GamePreservation #StopKillingGames

What I expected to be a survival game like Terraria ended up also having colony sim elements. Check my review below! Especially those who are a fan of survival games and really like the idea of management exploringthegames.substack.com/p/necesse-su... #gamereview #survivalgames #indiegames

I love mobile games, don’t you? Free2play games with nothing wrong with them, no walls or anything. Sarcasm aside, not all of them are trash. Most of them, sure. But not all, check the link below and let's talk about it! exploringthegames.substack.com/p/mobile-gam... #MobileGames #GamingOpinion

Kabuto Park is a chill and adorable creature collector game. Short, sweet, charming, and you get bugs to sumo wrestle! Please, check out my review! exploringthegames.substack.com/p/kabuto-par... #cozygaming #indiegamereview #kabutopark #indiegames #gaming #gamingbluesky #Cozygames

What's friendslop? You've probably played one without knowing it. Or maybe you already knew? Either way, here's my breakdown of the mean spirited term and why it might be worth embracing: exploringthegames.substack.com/p/what-is-fr... #coop #friendslop #coopgames #indiegames #gamingcommentary

Necrophosis is beautifully grotesque, but is that enough? Please, check the review below! exploringthegames.substack.com/p/necrophosi... #keymailer #surreal #grotesque #horror

Alright, people. I. Am. Back. Not only am I back, but I will be streaming the Horror Game Awards Summer Showcase within the next couple of minutes over at www.twitch.tv/exploringthe... Have I ever streamed? No. Will I continue to do so? Maybe. Will I go back to my regular post next week? Absolutely

I finished Inhuman Resources, and it's a must for literary horror fans! Click below for my review! exploringthegames.substack.com/p/corporate-... or www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAPh... #indie #indiegame #horror #narrative

I played five wildly different indie games this week. I got beat up by kids, typed poetry to solve disputes, and delivered packages as a cat in a ghost mountain town. Talk about variety. Please, check the link for more! exploringthegames.substack.com/p/indie-oddi...

You know what? Blue Prince is pretty alright.

Blood Typers is a great survival horror typing game. Even if it left my fingers aching and my eyes dried, it's was such a unique and cool experience. #keymailer #review Please, check the vid below! www.youtube.com/watch?v=5G6T...

Everything I see related to this game is always creative and hype.

Promise Mascot Agency by @KaizenGameWorks is HYPE! Who knew such a wacky game could be so real at times? And filled with such a lovable cast, and I'm sure there's a mascot for everyone in the game. exploringthegames.substack.com/p/promise-me...

A short and sweet look at the short, and sweet, Spilled! game. It's like a game made to cooldown after a tilting spree. Check the video below! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ra28...

Aneurism IV is my first RP experience that I try to get into, and it was pretty fun. Who know that getting stabbed in a laundry room and dying from parasite could be so fun? Please, check the video below! www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKQC...

Played Tempest Towers, and it was a very fun and hard experience! I'm not used to playing such a mobile tower defense game. I'm so used to just making a chokepoint and done. Check the link! @halfpastyellow.bsky.social #tempesttower #indiegame #indie #keymailer www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeGm...

Super hyped for #wanderstop, so I made a video! @ivyroadgames.bsky.social @annapurna.com youtu.be/5AZRh_JEJgk

It's true.

Some shit just really doesn't make any sense.

#SteamNextFest has been pouring out too many games, so while I have looked at a couple, I made a video on #StaticDread, take a peek at the link below! I guess it helps I'm not that into Monster Hunter. www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLJF... #horror

Post Trauma, publisher @rawfury.bsky.social, demo was dope. It's a very survival horror game. And no matter how simple the puzzle is if there's no yellow paint, it will take me double the time to finish it. This just reminds me that I really do have to play SH2. (1/2) #SteamNextFest #horror

Stone of Madness has been a very interesting, and fun experience! Pretty hard, too. Though, it could be because I’m not the best at stealth games. And man, that music! (1/2) Please, check the video below and blog post on the thread! www.youtube.com/watch?v=vF-M... #indiegame

Kind of reminds me of Namco Museum but if it was creeeepy.

Vladimere's Lhore is 25% off! Best deal yet! 14 games + a museum! Even for long time fans, there is so much to explore! #inidegames #gamedev #indiegame #psx #horrorgames #indiehorror #lowpoly #SteamSale #IndieDev #steam #gaming #game store.steampowered.com/app/1980710/...

Well, I went back to Tribal Wars, which is a base builder like Clash of Clan, and I got invaded, lost my town, and I promptly un-installed it. Those games are too unforgiving.

Are idle games, games? Yes, and there are more than a couple of them that are as soothing as they are hype. Please, check the link below! @oddcore.bsky.social @moczan.com @9fingergames.bsky.social exploringthegames.substack.com/p/whats-up-w... #indie #indiegames #movementshooters #idlegames

I'm a gamer! The real kind! Not that fake non-real gamer kind. Are you? That's what this article's about! exploringthegames.substack.com/p/im-a-gamer...

Tempest Tower by @halfpastyellow.bsky.social is great! Thank you for the opportunity. I had a blast playing the game! Tons of promise. Please check the link below for the YT vid or Article! youtu.be/X7d4Tbr3FFs exploringthegames.substack.com/p/tempest-to... #tempesttower #keymailer #indiegames

I honestly think Scarlet Red is way better than the others but I guess everyone is entitled to their opinion.

The last batch of the collection! An amazing experience, and I'm excited to play this year's collection! @pizza-dev.bsky.social @siactro.bsky.social @bastinusrex.bsky.social @brycebucher.bsky.social @alenarsoft.bsky.social #indie #indiegames exploringthegames.substack.com/p/the-last-o...

It really is greener on the other side. Colorful, even. Just as experimental, just as fun, just as hype.

Bringing Back the Sonar button from Kitten Burst for GANGSTALK (although i might need to change the meow sfx) Also added a "Smooth Camera" accessibility setting which should help cut down on motion sickness.

Horror that many people can enjoy! Very interesting ways to convey horror in this collection. Check it out on the link below! @eruptingavocado.bsky.social @podobainteractive.bsky.social @agelvik.bsky.social @housefiregames.com #indie #horror exploringthegames.substack.com/p/now-thats-...

There are still so many to go! This isn’t even their first one, but it’s the first one I played. I’ll be going through all of them. I NEED to use Itch.io more. Please check the link! @hauntedps1.bsky.social #horror #indiegames exploringthegames.substack.com/p/now-thats-...

D.E.I. was something I always saw written everywhere as a bad thing. I decided to take a small peek into something somewhat divisive. #community #narrative exploringthegames.substack.com/p/i-peeked-i...
