This game was on my list for ages and I had so much fun with it!! It's such a chill, charming game and the visuals and sound design are perfectly crafted. Tells a lovely little story with impressive emotional impact - I highly recommend you check it out!

This cozy book was such an easy, comforting read and met my expectations beautifully. The kind of book that really warms you from the inside - reminds me of Sourdough and A Psalm for the Wild-Built in that way. I'd recommend it to any fantasy-lovers who want a comfy little read.

This gorgeous, creative little game was a great experience. I'm definietly going to be going back to complete the encyclopedia, even though I've completed the story - even if just to see the illustrations!

I love Sarah Gailey's prose and I loved this atmospheric novella. Gritty lesbian cowboy librarians and an unfortunately pertinent message about censorship and the importance of queer hope.

After loving Inscryption and The Hex, I of course had to check out the third of Mullins' "big" games. It totally met my expectations and I had a very fun afternoon with it!! Highly recommend

A short post for this short game which I was so charmed by. Fun and subversive exploration of the hero/boss monster dynamic, making use of the unique characteristics of a video game. I got a lot of inspiration from this!

So happy to finally get this posted!!! I've got ideas for the whole rest of the song but that would be a huge undertaking so please leave some love on this/follow if you enjoyed it and would want to see more!!

It's late but here's a little round up at the end of 2024!! I am not a fast or frequent reader at the moment so I'm not setting any huge unrealistic goals for myself in 2025. Here are some things I've enjoyed and things I'm looking forward to! If you've enjoyed any of these titles please let me know! :D

Since I enjoyed Inscryption so much, I grabbed Daniel Mullins' other games in the Winter Steam sale! I played through The Hex in one day and for such a small price it was WELL worth it and I had a great time playing!!

Nothing quite like a video game that lets me be Little Guy With Sword... I hope to play many more in 2025 !! :D

ooh, that is a super interesting way of looking at it !! thanks for sharing :o

I ADORED this game, even though I'm usually not one to enjoy deck builders or rogue-likes, and that's testament to the mastery of atmosphere, character, and storytelling on display here. This one's going to stick with me for a while, I can't recommend it enough!

I had a couple of false starts with this game but I'm so happy I got stuck in and finished it this year! One of the coolest ways of balancing detective work in a game I've seen and without letting you completely guess your way to the answers. The awesome dither-punk visuals and stellar sound design gave it a consistent and immersive atmosphere. Highly recommend!
