Karate Survivor is a martial arts themed Survivors-like that pays homage to 80s action movies, and does it pretty well! But is that enough? Read my review to find out! exploringthegames.substack.com/p/karate-sur... #KarateSurvivor #SurvivorsLike #IndieGames #GameReview

Reviewing the action-roguelite Brew(fun but needs polish) + diving into demos! One's a horror food truck sim, another's a Y2K Lethallike, and another one is for scratch-off fiends.

Played the Project Songbird Teaser by @fyregames.bsky.social and had a blast! As a person who has suffered from writer's block, this is basically how it can feel. The Woods Are NOT Empty! | Two Great Friends Play Project Songbird (Demo... youtu.be/x0_5Ob7MtCg?... via @YouTube

Check my latest post! I go over My impressions on GODBREAKERS (chaotic and co-op rogue-lite), A.I.L.A's (gory horror where you can't escape fear), Becrowned (old-school survival horror), and Project Songbird (a horrible writer's block experience) exploringthegames.substack.com/p/godbreaker...

What do a "dead" ARPG, a free co-op supermarket, and an absurd robot killing game have in common? That they're pretty cool. #gaming I talk about Wayfinder, the fun and clunky Supermarket Together, and the outlandish Shooty Shooty Robot Invasion below: exploringthegames.substack.com/p/wayfinder-...

It feels like every month now a coop-focused game catches people’s attention, and at least for me, it was RV There Yet? A funny coop game where you and your pals get to yell at whoever is driving, because they can 100% do better. #keymailer #indiegame exploringthegames.substack.com/p/rv-there-y...

I love cozy games, especially when they got some horror on them. I reviewed cozy Lovecraftian horror Sunken Engine, the shipyard simulator, where an evil book is out to get you, after getting your father. Check it! #sunkenengine #keymailer #cozygame exploringthegames.substack.com/p/sunken-eng...

The last batch of demos! Come one, come all, and see just a fragment of great upcoming games! Or, more focused, think about it like that. Link below: exploringthegames.substack.com/p/steam-next... #indiegame #steam #gaming

In other news, there is now a reason for someone in my household to get a Switch 2.

Me and a good friend made a video playing SSR Wives. Call it "Two Great Friends Play." Check the video out, it's funny I swear. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGI-...

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

The grind begins #outlasttrials

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/...
