migraineur extraordinaire

otherwise one of my friends spoiled me and gifted me caves of qud (and its DLC)??? i've been buzzing about it since 1.0 dropped and i've been playing it all night. it's so different from what i usually play but i've been having a blast tbh. also just really in love with the prose at points

unsure if i'll continue playing after i catch up to the latest update, really. it just turned out it was really not for me

been playing various games this week! primarily fields of mistria, although i've found i'm increasingly disenchanted with how it just refuses to have... conflict? to the point of not even having character flaws, really? it's an enjoyable game, but i have zero investment in the characters as a result

so far the game has also been reminding me a lot of rune factory... which reminds me that i still need to play 3, whoops

March: Ezra! Come here, c'mere... I'll let you in on a little secret. You're not so bad... Haha. Oh, what was I saying again?

been playing fields of mistria for the first time and instantly got obsessed with march. he's so cute??? 💙🎮

MiSide on Steam Let's imagine that you have a game in which you care for a character. But could you imagine one day getting into that game yourself?

final demo for the night was MiSide, which i had picked up on a whim during steam next fest. definitely not a game i'd normally play, but i still finished the demo? i think it was fine, but ultimately not a game i'd pick up. 💙🎮

KILL THE WITCH on Steam The time when humans gave up being happy to be no longer unhappy and became 'bugs'. The story of a witch who smashes everything with a baseball bat tightly in her hand.

another demo i played tonight was KILL THE WITCH. this one i was actually feeling pretty into? i enjoyed the premise, and it's excellent stylistically. just wasn't feeling the combat as much, but otherwise i'll still follow updates on the game and see how i feel about it. 💙🎮

Lunavania on Steam Lunatrendia isn't just about high-octane combat. Enjoy base building, decorating with a variety of furniture, befriending NPCs, farming, and fishing. These features add greater depth and variety, offe...

played a few different demos tonight. one was lunavania, which i picked up on a whim because the style of it looked lovely, and i appreciated that it had a few more systems to it, so combat wasn't the exclusive focus. anyway, i mostly just confirmed that i'm not really into metroidvania.

Winter Burrow on Steam Winter Burrow is a cozy woodland survival game about a mouse returning home to restore their childhood burrow. Explore, gather resources, craft, knit warm sweaters, bake pies and meet the locals.

tonight i played the demo for winter burrow! incredibly cute (but still challenging) survival game that i instantly wishlisted as soon as i completed the demo. i can't wait until i can play more... i'm so charmed. 💙🎮

realistically, this one isn't a wishlist item for me. just a bit too simple for my taste, but i can definitely see others enjoying it.

Marron's Day on Steam Marron's Day is a silly pocket-sized adventure where you're a bunny trying to save the town festival! Help out your animal friends, play cute minigames, and explore this cosy and retro pixel-art town.

tonight i played the demo for marron's day! cute and made me feel very nostalgic for gen 1 pokemon games. i did desperately wish i could run in the game, though, and i did encounter issues with the button mapping on steam deck. 💙🎮

Decollate Decoration on Steam This is a point-and-click, command-selection style adventure game where the protagonist is a girl who has become a ghost. The objective is to fulfill her desires by speaking to her beloved "him&q...

tonight, i picked up the demo for decollate decoration! the demo was definitely short, but i enjoyed the style a lot (and what little we saw of the writing), and i think i'll pick up the full game when it releases on steam. 💙🎮

excited to see you here on bluesky! i picked up the demo yesterday and i'm super excited to play it, especially since i've been watching a lot of 80s mech anime lately too! it looks great from what i saw of the trailer.

shamelessly inspired by booksky, i created a gamesky feed!

since this is intended to be for liveblogging/posting about various games i'm playing, with an effort to boost more indie games:

✨ itch
✨ game recs doc

will try to update the document as i go; my itch already has categories for recs and games i intend to play.

The header for the game Bubblegum Galaxy. A cat with its house encased in what looks like the frame of a house stands beside the title, while colourful hexagons filled with trees and houses litter the background.

started playing the bubblegum galaxy demo tonight! slowly picking through the demos i've picked up lately on steam. 💙🎮
