i wrote about consume me for @theverge.com ✨

The artists who turned teenage obsessions into an award-winning video game To create an interactive autobiography, Consume Me's creators had to turn teenage memories into playable self-portraits.

Consume Me is a work of autobiography born out of its creator's real experiences growing up in NYC. I spent a day with the devs visiting real places that inspired the game and looking through boxes of high school memories. A chat about how to adapt reality to game. www.polygon.com/consume-me-j...

i’m still currently taking a break from responding to messages but i just wanna let you all know i am reading them and i really appreciate all the overwhelming love and support for the game 🥹💞 thank you playing Consume Me 🥺 #gaming #indiegames #indiegamedev #gamedev #videogames

Jenny is in the elevator with a hamper of laundry. Context clues indicate that the laundry machines are in the basement (people not doing laundry get off on another floor, presumably the lobby).

Jenny goes shopping at "the mall", a towering multi-floored maze of escalators that must surely be the old Manhattan Mall at 33rd and 6th. It closed in 2021.

Jenny and Oliver go on dates at the Egyptian wing of the Met, Coney Island, and on a rowboat from the Loeb boathouse in Central Park

Jenny reading in a subway car, the yellow and orange seats are unmistakably characteristic of the R46 & R68 cars, commonly seen on the B, D, Q and R lines.

One the things I'm really loving about Consume Me is how unmistakably it takes place in NYC, in subtle but detailed and grounded ways. Reading on the subway, going on dates at museums, the manhattan mall, doing laundry in the basement. I grew up here too, and I never see the city shown like this.

It will surprise literally no one to learn that I fkn loved Consume Me, the coming-of-age slice-of-life WarioWare-meets-Persona game about being an Asian teen (there's more to it than that I promise)

@qdork.bsky.social + @apthomson.bsky.social made something really, really good! You should play it!

Here's a brand new Dev Dive with the team behind Consume Me, the game that won the grand prize at GDC earlier this year. I had such a blast having a fun, reflective conversation with @qdork.bsky.social , @apthomson.bsky.social @frogfungus.bsky.social about the game!

You will not survive Baby Steps' open world, but you'll laugh QWOP goes open world in 2025's funniest game

Baby Steps starts as an elaborate shitpost before slowly revealing itself to be a sincere game about male insecurity. A deconstruction of the kind of idealized picture of manhood that video games helped create wrapped in a terrific slapstick comedy. My review. www.polygon.com/baby-steps-r...

it’s not like there are any other games releasing at the same time 🤡
