A pretty spooky little horror game, I loved the retro point and click aesthetic. The only really frustrating thing was that some of the text was in Spanish instead of English by mistake and the click and drag mechanic was a bit janky for me.Otherwise a perfect throwback to Creepshow style anthology horror.

A simple and relaxing puzzler. The commitment to the mechanics in areas like the level select was a little frustrating, but otherwise it was a short, fun time!

A pretty simple and chill game. You can throw rocks in the water, read messages others have put out into the world or write your own. There isn't really a lot to say about this game, it's pretty looking and has a neat concept.
This game really reminds me of 'Sagebrush', another walking simulator about exploring a cult compound. The graphics and simple soundtrack did a lot to establish the eerie vibes of this game and I really think the concept (exploring a cult that has spent years in darkness and learning how everything went wrong) really has a lot of potential. Unfortunately, that's pretty much everything nice I have to say about this game, as much as I wanted to like it. The game really lacks polish, which isn't entirely surpising given that it was made in 10 days for a game jam. However, it was pretty much impossible to see what was going on and I only found out there's a flashlight control when I rechecked the itch page. The journals had potential, but that story arcs were never wrapped up and I found some of the journals to be a bit unrealisitc in how they act. Finally, the final sequence is just strange, I really wasn't sure what was supposed to be happening.
I wish this game had the time to flesh out some of it's more interesting concepts, I really would love a game like this that took the time to play with some of the ideas it set up (and maybe also include a proper tutorial or something similar).

This game is really quite charming. I loved how the character art hinted towards each of the ghost's deaths and how each character was developed.

A short (10 mins or so) game about a frog learning ballet. It's pretty simple in nature but a fine enough way to pass the time.

Seriously though this short VN is so cute and chill.

I absolutely loved this VN. My only real complaints is that there wasn't more of it and sometimes the music drowned out the voice acting. The worldbuilding and story was fascinating, it felt like a peek into something I wanted to see much more of. I also loved the artstyle and the characters.
If you like visual novels, especially short ones, you'll want to check this one out.

The story is pretty by-the-numbers, but the gameplay itself is delightful and entertaining. I really enjoyed the mechanic of the protagonist nodding or shaking her head. Some of the birds are a bit difficult to scan due to the speed they move at, but the enviromentalist themes are well-done and it's overall a very fun game, if short.

As far as Sobokan's go, this was pretty fun, if a little easy. The retro videogame aesthetic was fun and added a lot of charm, though the soundtrack was short and repetitive, becoming annoying pretty quick.
2017
Whatever I liked about the 1980s British setting and the story was completely offset by how unplayable and janky this game was. The controls made it borderline unplayable and while I understand that is partially an artistic choice, you are playing a child, they were still annoyingly slow, sometimes I'd have to click multiple times on an object to pick it up. Finally, the fact that I had to restart twice due to a glitch just made the overall experience more frustrating than scary.

I was not expecting to giggle as much as I did.
2012
A fun if somewhat simple, game and satire about climate change.
2014
A fun little puzzle game, although the mechanics near the end of the game do get a little frustrating and repetitive.
2022
A short and somewhat glitchy game that is honestly all over the place in tone and humour. Two of the leads are not very likeable and the third's storyline doesn't seem to suit the grounded setting. However, it's still a pretty fun way to spend an afternoon.
