05.09.2025 07:30 โ ๐ 877 ๐ 154 ๐ฌ 37 ๐ 23i generally think it's a good thing for a game to be book-like, in the sense that you can flip to any "page" (game state) relatively unimpeded, which i feel is a more radical position on difficulty than "dark souls should have easy mode"
03.09.2025 14:23 โ ๐ 130 ๐ 18 ๐ฌ 11 ๐ 2If you are interested in a remake because you feel like it'd make doing homework easier, ask yourself instead why you're assigning yourself videogame homework? The only reason you should be assigning yourself homework is because you're some weird VG History sicko, in which case a remake ain't gonna cut it. Otherwise though, free yourself from this imaginary canon. No one is checking your gamer card to make sure you beat all the important games. There is too little time on this earth to play the cliffnotes version of a game out of some imaginary obligation.

Your game does have a content warning because of this setting on your page though (check the "Metadata" tab). It's possible at some point you could have added a tag to your page that is commonly associated with explicit adult content.โ
a post from itch pointing out that an article is full of misinformation and trying to clarify.
itch.io has been nothing but supportive of LGBTQ+ work since the beginning. it pains me to see the community turn on them like this and so gleefully spread misinformation about them without even giving them a shred of benefit of the doubt.
