A hidden gem among Humble originals that presents itself as a humble twist on the rock-papers-scissors formula but hides so much more.
Indeed, what at first comes off as some short plot with a laid back ifnromal character that works in an office while being undervalued and dealing with magical elements quickly shows its true potential. With thrills, mysteries and a game mechanic that comes right out of the plot and its quirky characters, it throws you for a loop and doesn't quite make the end goal that clear, not until a bit later.
Furthermore, I have to give credit were credit's due. Its puzzles can be quite intricate and make you solve battle in very unconventional ways but being unconventional really is the attractive of this game. Adding that to the simplistic yet conveying presentation, sound effects and messaging, you have a 4 hours or so experience that will make you question how did the clock move so fast.

Little gambling witch
Strange little game where you play rock paper scissors except you can influence it to make it less random. Game was just average but it had a bunch of themes about office politics and work/life balance that were way too relatable right at the time I was playing it and it kinda hit me hard mentally. It doesn't have much going for it really, I just happened to play it at the perfect time for myself personally.
Fun, creative indie game I got from a huge bundle on itch.io
Can't remember ever playing a game like this before. It was a lot of fun. As someone who recently entered the work force, it kind of spoke to me. The worldbuilding with regards to the modern applications of magic is pretty cool too. Just a good time all around.
A short cute card game that's well worth your time.
