So, I love looking through your game recs, and all of them look so interesting!
The only problem is that I have zero money at the moment, or at least zero that can be spent of games.
I don’t suppose you know any good/enjoyable games that are free or have a demo?
(There is only so much time you can spend doing housework or looking for work and I’ve replayed and replayed the games I’ve already got so many times)
It’s funny you should ask. Folks often ask me how the hell I have thousands of games in my Steam library, and the answer is, well, a substantial chunk of them are free to play. Many of them are very, very bad, but there are exceptions – I’ve placed links to the 120 or so that I’d actually recommend to other people under the cut.
A lot of these games are quite short (i.e., average playing time in the five to fifteen minute range), but they're free, so really that's good value for your money! Note: owing to the length of this list, I will not be including descriptions or content warnings – be sure to check the writeups and reviews.
I’ve marked my personal top dozen with asterisks (*). These aren’t necessarily the most approachable or well-constructed titles on this list, mind – just the ones I had the most fun with.
A few more that I've picked up in the months since I made the initial post, plus a number I overlooked the first time around. Again, I make no promises that any of these games are good – only that a. they're genuinely free to play at the time of posting, with no pay-to-win or DLC bullshit, and b. I enjoyed playing them.

(Note: a few of the preceding titles are demo or early access versions, so there's no guarantee that the eventual full versions will be free – I've marked which they are. If you're reading this post years after the fact and those ones are asking for money, it's not my fault!)
I've mostly been playing commercial titles these past few months, but I managed to squeak in about a dozen free-to-play ones as well. As always, see below!

A small batch to kick off the year. I've included several pay-what-you-want titles published via itch.io in this set, which technically isn't free-as-in-free, but eh... close enough! Some of these are also game jam entries coded in just a few days, so set your expectations accordingly.

A few more that I've enjoyed over the past couple of months for Easter weekend. It's a slow time of year for major releases, so this batch is mostly demos, game jam entries, and student projects, with a couple of significant exceptions. You'll know 'em when you see 'em!

This month's batch has a fair number of browser games and SAGE 2023 demos in it, but also a few downloadable full games. Owing to the number of game jams and fan expos clustered around this time of year, it's a bigger list than usual – fair warning!

Probably the last one of these I'm going to put together before the new year. If you're looking for something to occupy your time over the holidays, hopefully something on this list has six weeks worth of play in it for you.

* this one is a forum thread, and access to the files is... interestingly organised; at the time of this posting, the link to the latest demo is in post 233 (halfway down page 12 if you're using the default posts-per-page settings)
Happy belated New Year. My budget is still recovering from Christmas, so I've been playing a lot of bite-size free browser games these past couple of months, with some notable exceptions. Two of those exceptions are homebrew ROM images for classic consoles, one for the Super Nintendo and one for the Sega Genesis, so you'll need to supply your own emulator; I've marked which ones they are so you're not left wondering how to play a .BIN file.
Astra Hunter Zosma
Baby Time! (play online)
Carbon Steel (pay-what-you-want)
Closing at 2 (play online)
Dottie Flowers (demo, ROM)*
Galactic Foodtruck Simulator 2999 (play online)

Marta Explorer (play online)
Mimic Logic (demo)
Rising Up (play online)
Sealed Fortress (demo)
Snake on a Train (play online)
Swordbird Song: The Iron Owl Tower (play online)
* This one's an odd duck. It's a downloadable Super Nintendo ROM containing a demo version of the game, but the full version can't be purchased anywhere; if you want to get your hands on it, you have to follow secret instructions obtained by completing the demo, and the creator will mail you a physical Super Nintendo cartridge containing the full game. Figuring out how to play it is apparently a you problem!
I've been playing a bunch of homebrew titles for the Game Boy lately – yes, the original Game Boy – so that's a fair chunk of what you're getting this time. Most are playable in-browser as well; as in the previous batch, I'll specifically mark any for which you'll need to download a ROM image and provide your own Game Boy emulator.
Anguna: Warriors of Virtue (ROM)
Annihilator (play online)
Black Castle (play online)
Deadeus (pay-what-you-want, ROM)
Eldritchvania

I deliberately avoided updating this during Steam Next Fest because I didn't want to clog up the list with a bunch of games that were only free and/or had free demos for that one week. I'm also going to back-fill this update with a handful of old favourites which I just realised I'd never included in any previous instalment; a couple are old Flash games, so you may need a Flash emulator to play them – I've marked which ones those are.
16 Ways to Kill a Vampire at McDonalds (play online)

I finally got around to trying (most of) the SAGE 2024 demos, so here are my top dozen picks, along with many other odds and ends I've come across in the last four months. Fair warning: this is a big one!

Witchfall: Secrets of Emotica (demo, SAGE 2024)
Wonder Wickets
Yes, And So Our Hollow Hearts Called For Love
* This one's a freeware title from way back in 2002, so no promises that it will work on your computer without significant tinkering, or at all.
A good-size batch for the benefit of those whose Christmas budgeting needs a break. There are a couple of entries here that I've had in my library for years and have only just now realised are free to play – you can probably guess which ones.
Abandoned_64 (pay-what-you-want)
The Anchorite (play online)

Witching Stone (demo, play online)
What does a period of unprecedented economic uncertainty demand? That's right: more free stuff. A lot of these are titles from my long-term backlog that I finally got around to playing in the last couple of months, so you may see some familiar names!
Almari (demo)
Beetle Ninja
Boyandbox
The Dark Queen of Mortholme (pay-what-you-want)

SACRIFIGHTS (play online)
Sealed Bite*
Skala
Slider
Trick3nd (pay-what-you-want)
Vampire Overlord (play online)
Woodworm (play online)
* This one's a bit of an oddity: it's a free game jam entry from 2019 whose author later withdrew it from publication because they decided to develop it into a commercial title. As the game jam version was released under an open source license, it's been re-hosted by the Internet Archive for posterity. The forthcoming commercial version on Steam has a demo that's substantially similar gameplay-wise, but structurally I feel the original game jam version works better as a standalone experience, so that's what I've linked above.
Mostly fangames, demos, and game jam entries this time around. I'll mark the ones that are fangames for the benefit for the spoiler-averse:
100 lil jumps
Abyss Vaulter
Amanita August (pay-what-you-want)
Annihilator PC Edition* (demo)
Ascent DX
Auridia (demo)

Hypogea (demo)
The Last Oath
Little Red Lie
Model Employee
Our Dirge (demo, play online)
Red Finger
The Rodionov postulate (play online; Disco Elysium fangame)
Stop and Breathe
* This is a commercial remake of Annihilator, which was previously recommended in the March 2024 entry in this thread.
** Strictly speaking this is the free first chapter of an episodic game whose subsequent chapters will be paid, so "demo" is a slight misnomer, but in practice that's basically what it is.
Just a few this time. A couple of these are homebrews for the Game Boy or NES, so you'll need to bring your own emulator; as always, I've marked which ones they are.
Auridia (demo)
Catmercs (ROM)
EchoSqueak

I'm probably going to be too busy to do any serious gaming for the next little while, so let's do another instalment of this thread while I still can. There are some real oddballs this time around; I've given fair warnings where appropriate.
0PLAYER*
Arena.XIsm** (pay-what-you-want)
Astral Guard - Table Talk (demo, pay-what-you-want)
Crank It!
Dine-in Dungeon
Elementary School
FALLSTRUKTUR
Flooded Burials (demo)
Infineural (pay-what-you-want)
Kovox Pitch
A Murmur in the Trees
NENA
Spare Parts: Episode 1 (pay-what-you-want)
Sudokuvania: Digits of Despair***
this game will end in 205 clicks.
Water Womb World (pay-what-you-want)
Wish Upon a Cat
Zoo-ika (pay-what-you-want)
* The first of the aforementioned oddballs, this is a puzzle game consisting entirely of a single static image, intended to be loaded up in your image editor of choice, which will be used to solve the puzzles by modifying the image. The image in question is very large, so maybe try something a little more capable than MS Paint!
** The second oddball on the list, this is a roguelike implemented within a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. Owing to the poor portability of Excel macros, it probably won't run for you if you don't have access to the specific version of Excel it was written for.
*** A metroidvania-ish game implemented within a sudoku web app. It uses many non-standard rules, and is on the high end of difficulty for sudoku puzzles to boot; recommended only for serious sudoku fans.
Well, that was quite the delay. For the past six months I've been busy crowdfunding a tabletop RPG about off-brand muppets killing and eating God, so today's list is a little sparser than you might expect given that, you know, it's been six months, but I think I've got some good ones here. Without further ado:

You don't like my domestic au? But I lobotomized the characters just for you :( isn't it so nice now that everyone's happy? They all talk and forgive each other 😊 they're getting married, you know. They're pregnant, you know. Time skip soon! Two beautiful kids. After they have them they will put aside all their passions. Maybe they will never go back to the coffee shop 🤭or university 😜. Maybe they will stay at home with their children. I made this world just for you. Isn't it domestic? Isn't it perfect? Look at how everyone smiles! I am smiling :) are you?

Ameri wearing a dress like her mother's original one is very cute.
The waiters
Sorry this took so long- work has been a bit more time consuming than I anticipated 😅
Anyway, this is my gift exchange contirbution for @rozemynelovebot :D
Based on you mentioning you like the gods in ascendance of a bookworm I decided to play on that theme - with some Elvira and friends-esque fangirling - hope you like it :D
So far as I know there aren't any official designs for Bluanfah and Dregarnuhr? I could be wrong (I have been before with other side characters-) I used the official ones for the eternal five (drawing Ewigeliebe is kinda fun tbh- his character really lends itself to being overdramatic). I kind of based Bluanfah on a more regency style heroine design-wise (because Jane Austen love stories and all that) whereas I leaned a bit more towards Hirschur with Dregarnuhr's design (as in, it's a bit plainer than some of the other god's outfits) since I picture her being a bit more serious being the goddess of time and all.
ANyway-
This took longer than I planned to finish, but I hope you like it!
:D

i do think theres something sad about how largely only the literature that's considered especially good or important is intentionally preserved. i want to read stuff that ancient people thought sucked enormous balls
Time to take this post entirely too seriously:
I often wonder if this is why you so commonly see the sentiment that we are in an era of uniquely bad literature, or at least that the fact that most books don't have artistic aspirations and are not aiming to be anything other than mindless entertainment is new. In fact what's new is the idea that everything is worth preserving (and also the internet making it easier to preserve it). The dumb artistically unambitious trash books of the past have survived only sporadically, because people thought of them as literally disposable.
When I was in college I had a professor who was an expert on detective fiction. He had a longstanding beef with the idea that "Murders in the Rue Morgue" was the first detective story. He thought that it seemed way too polished to be inventing a new genre, and also that the whole orangutan business had the vibe of someone subverting preexisting audience expectations and maybe engaging in a bit of stealth parody. With the help of some student volunteers, he went trawling through old magazines and newspapers and found hundreds of detective stories from the early 1800s that just hadn't garnered enough individual attention to be remembered. This was because most of them sucked balls. He created an online archive of them, so you too can read these mostly terrible stories.
Steal His Look!
if you're conscientious about web design you try your best to make your pages accessible, in particular by paying attention to clarity and visual contrast; there have been many resources written to make sure text and interactive elements aren't too small and don't blend into their surroundings too bad.
this is unfortunately at odds with web browser developers, who blithely update their scroll bars to be at most like 5% grayer than their background (chrome) or to make them 3 pixels wide (firefox)
this just isn't acceptable
there are browser settings and CSS that address this to some degree but my issue is with it being a poorly-designed default for everyone. firefox narrowing its scrollbars also left a nasty gap in Cookie Clicker's interface that took me a while to fix - and it doesn't let you modify scroll bar appearance as much as chrome does. in general modifying browser UI is fickle, unstable and not to be relied on but you have to do what you can. here's how Cookie Clicker and Neverending Legacy currently look in chrome with my custom CSS:

Got up to one of my favourite parts of the light novels while re-reading part four, and I absolutely had to illustrate it ~ (makes me cry every time-)
:')
my most sick and twisted fantasy
I was honestly a bit nervous to draw and post this one, because it's such a deep rooted and genuine issue I struggle with. It's a thing I wish could be fixed in some way, but I feel pretty comforted it resonated with so many others too
