I really enjoyed the game and the puzzles are pretty dumb friendly I only struggled with a couple at the end. I love the audio and visual style, smooth animations, super playable on controller. A great model for updating old point and click adventures.

Can you help me try something? If you reply to my post it should show up on my website as a comment.

Stewpot is based on Firebrands / The King is Dead. In most games you play adventurers this one you play people who were adventures. Here they are all adventured out and ready to settle down into community.

I started going through upcoming game releases (first steam next fest of the year) and “Your House” looks like it’ll be a free choose your own adventure game coming out next week youtu.be/dF08smKVS…

So much new music now sounds like elevator/waiting room music it’s a weird trend.

I think Bluesky has better filtering tools so I'm fine with it as long as they're tagged in a standard way.

90 days ago Bluesky had 6.18M users
30 days ago Bluesky had 10.85M users
Tomorrow Bluesky will have 15M users

This is absolutely wild, thanks for believing in us y'all

Animal well seems like a really fun game. I really like the integration of PS5’s controller haptic feedback. The platforming was too frustrating for me to get far so unfortunately this is another DNF.

This month I plan to play Dredge and Red Dead Redemption 2 since they’re now on PS+.

I got a Playstation 5 late last year and essentially burnt myself out on (Square Enix) RPGs. This week I played through Wytchwood and it felt like a breath of fresh air. Highly recommended for folks who need a breather between giant AAA games. #indiegames

Last night I got to try Fish in the Percolator, a map making #storygame by Greg Hellings. It’s still in development but I really liked how starting with a transit system made the map feel more continuous and less like a point crawl. #ttrpgs
