Meg's Monster on Steam Take control of the Underworldโ€™s grumpiest ghoul to help a lost little girl find her way home in this creepy-cute indie adventure. Just be warned: if she cries, the whole world dies.

The art & audio are astounding!! Iโ€™m really intrigued by the narrative & I love the premise of โ€œif she cries, the whole world diesโ€ haha. Iโ€™m excited to play this, thank you!!

This is so darn cute!!! I LOVE that it uniquely spins the fun of Garctic Phone into a thematic story!! Iโ€™ve been wanting to play something with my viewers for a little while now, so this is PERFECT! Iโ€™m super stoked; the art & puns are amazing! ๐Ÿ˜Š Wishlisted, downloaded, & joined the Discord ๐Ÿค—

For my comp lit class, Iโ€™m analyzing SOMA through a multimodal perspective to show that games as an interactive medium alter the reading of a narrative. Join me on Twitch as I nerd out over one of my favourite philosophical games! In the name of academia, of courseโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ˜‹

Iโ€™m convinced my newfound interest in tabletops is simply an excuse to accumulate dice sets, these are gorgeous! ๐Ÿคฉ

This is incredibly intriguing! Iโ€™m a BA undergrad currently completing a double major in media studies and psychology at the University of Alberta, and I intend to pursue my masters in DH; I would be thrilled to see a program like this offered for students like myself.

I discussed today at #AGS2023 how the lack of standards amongst subjective author opinions makes it difficult to effectively compare games. Reviews play an especially crucial role in marketing indie games, so itโ€™s cool to see press considering/implementing clearer structures for readers to review ๐Ÿ˜‰

I was having this exact discussion with someone today! Reviews play such an important role in marketing indie games especially, but thereโ€™s no set standard amongst subjective author opinions that allow us to effectively โ€œcompareโ€ these games. Super cool to see press implementing clearer structures!
