![]() ⤷ My friends are hysterical and this was sooo much fun to play. As the moderator I couldn't be a ghost or investigator but I zhuzhed up the role of "spectre" - in the official rules, spectres can only spectate and react with emojis, but I allowed them to add atmospheric messages and create their own rooms if they wanted to. They weren't allowed to haunt the same way the ghosts were, but it meant that the four spectres (including myself) could add to whatever the ghosts were doing and it made for some fantastic moments. Super excited to play this again. | ★★★★☆ |
Kingsway (2017) | ▬▬▬▬ |
Spilling (2025) | ★★★☆☆ |
Formless Star (2025) [X] ⤷ This was crazy charming (sorry I use that word so often it's TRUE) and I had a huge stupid smile on my face the whole time I was playing. | ★★★★☆ |
If Letters Had Pants (2025) [X] | ★★★☆☆ |
![]() ⤷ I am such a huge sucker for Thorny Games (I adored Dialect and I backed this one on Kickstarter years ago so I was super excited to finally get to play it with pals. Like all Thorny Games games, if you look through the prompts before you play it feels like you'll be railroaded into a specific kind of story but our game felt really special and unique to us. Very atmospheric with the added sounds but I wish some of them were longer or at least trailed off, they just cut off abruptly. | ★★★★☆ |
Blue Prince (2025) | ▬▬▬▬ |
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (2025) | ▬▬▬▬ |
PokéScape (2024) ⤷ This is a super charming ROM hack, turning Pokémon Emerald into an Old School Runescape creature catching game. It's the best Pokémon game I've played for years. You can play it here, but heads up that for me a lot of the charm comes from having sunk hours and hours into Runescape as a kid. I don't know how it holds up for non-Runescape players (though my partner did really enjoy watching me play and seeing all the bizarre creatures). The game is also, as of March 2025, not finished yet! | ★★★★☆ |
ENA: Dream BBQ (Part 1) (2025) | ★★★☆☆ |
TCG Card Shop Simulator (2024) ⤷ Got crazy into this for like two solid weeks and then felt physically ill when I opened it last so I'm done with it now. I'm shocked how many hours I put into this considering it looks like That but it got the gameplay loop down pat. | ★★★☆☆ |
Death Stranding (2019) ⤷ I really, really wanted to love this game because I enjoy it whenever you're let loose into the world to explore. Unfortunately the game has conditioned me to feel immense rage every time I hear "*bleep bloop* Sam. It's Dead Man." and now I can't finish it because I'm so sick of being harrassed over the radio. | ★★★☆☆ |
Balatro (2024) ⤷ Fuck I hate this game. Just one more round... | ★★★★☆ |
Riven (2024) ⤷ Really enjoyed playing through this again and getting further alone than I got in the original. Reviews say this version was easier and that may be true, I still felt like a genius. It's a shame about the CGI characters, I miss the FMV | ★★★★☆ |
