Hi! I'm Dovetail 🕊 (Erik), and I host Pages of Play, a book club for gaming narratives. Please join in our discord: https://discord.gg/jMzR6WdpTR. I also write reviews for So Many Games: https://bsky.app/profile/somanygames.co.uk
February 2026 Hidden Gem list is up! The key art theme for this month is "A color in the dark." store.steampowered.com/curator/4556...
We got some great Q&A submissions for our latest episode on TR-49, including some from @jon.inkle.co himself (thank you)! Enjoy the show. pca.st/episode/492d...
My review details how I had a ton of fun with this game while learning a few things about Africa. @plante.bsky.social was spot-on to call it edu-tainment.
If you will be nextfesting this week like me, So Many Games is a trusty navigator.
We had the pleasure of sitting down with Alfred Nguyen, the creative director at @throughlinegames.com, to take a peek behind the curtain of Forgotlings. It was a very "anima"ted conversation 😉 , we hope you enjoy it! pca.st/episode/02b2...
Makers featured: @gaminginthewild.com , @tftblpod.bsky.social , @gmrjuk.bsky.social , @drellesh.bsky.social , @pixelprojectradio.bsky.social , @storyeverpod.bsky.social
We did something a bit different and decided to invite 6 of our podcaster friends to come together and do a short panel about the art and craft of making content. We hope you enjoy it and find some inspiration for your own creations! pca.st/9uw23yar
Review in progress for @somanygames.co.uk !
Cutting down beautiful trees and hunting legendary beasts always leaves me a sense of lingering guilt, even if it's only a game. Why is that?
Here are the PoP hidden gem games from January. Have you tried any of these? store.steampowered.com/curator/4556...
Definitely worth checking out! We did a review of this game plus a deep dive into the studio that made it in a Between The Lines episode last year.
We’re so excited to announce our Story-Rich Showcase!

Here is our selection of the December 2025 story-driven Hidden Gems! store.steampowered.com/curator/4556...

www.tiny-gaming.net/posts/hidden... > 2026 is here! And with it, I think I would love to share five games that, in my eyes, didn't get quite the love and attention they deserve. Hidden Gems, if you will! Fun, polished, unique and well worth your time - and that's a TINY GAMING promise!

Thanks for organizing the leagues, @gaminginthewild.bsky.social , @chipdip.bsky.social , @tftblpod.bsky.social
I love explaining Fantasy Critic to my friends who play fantasy football. I kinda take the RBBC approach to drafting games. It worked out well for me this year!
I took first place 🥇🥇 in 2 of my leagues and 4th in the other.
The fact that you drafted "Uannounced Astrobot Game" two years ago (scoring a 95 on opencritic) and "Uannounced Donkey Kong Game" last year (scoring 91) is legendary. Makes me wonder what you will call in 2026.
Come check out what our crew came up with! I am sure you will find a few surprises in there.
@storyeverpod.bsky.social is like having your best friend catch you up on one of their adventures, beat by beat. I appreciate the neighborly tone, generous storytelling, and the way this podcast sees the best in this wonderful art form.
@preorderbonus.bsky.social is the impossible fusion of literature scholarship and business acumen that will simultaneously gift listeners with a nuanced understanding of the subtext of a game as well as it's impact on the games industry.
@tftblpod.bsky.social is woven into the very fabric of gamerdom. Not only does Dave facilitate connections between community members, empowering each voice among them, but he also does it with unparalleled confidence and courage in his own craftsmanship.
@somanygames.co.uk is an enthusiastic celebration of gaming. Jason goes the extra mile to lift up our community and recognize the "wins" when it comes to propelling the industry forward.
