I played Anxiety Puppy this week and it stayed with me in the best way.
It’s a cosy, story-driven indie game about anxiety and learning how to live with it, not against it.
The artwork is beautiful, and the message is hopeful. Full review on the blog ⬇️

Just wanted to share an achievement.
Here is a photo of me. I went to SquidFest and won the squid hat. I also caught all 5 legendary fish over the last few days.
I have decorated a room in my house to celebrate this.
I am now the fishing god.
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate. If you’re finding it hard this year, I know how you feel. Try and go easy on yourself and do some things that bring you joy, even if a little 🫶

Take me here for Christmas…
Just me petting the cats in Pentiment.
Side note - absolutely LOVE this game after 5 hours… lots more to go.
It’s 50% off in the Steam sale.
That is a beautiful figure, and a really really awesome friend!! Merry Christmas 🎄
Pikuniku is so so great! One of my favourite games. Enjoy!
Pentiment was definitely an “out there” choice - I was recommended it recently and it looked interesting! Hope you get all the games you’re after 🥰
Ooooh I might get that too!
Picked up Pentiment, and Super Lesbian Animal RPG 😝 Stoked! I’m sure I’ll grab a few more if I can over Christmas!
Two games I’ve been waiting to go on sale are in the Steam winter sale! Yay. They couldn’t be more different 🤣
What you hoping to pick up??
I’ve just published my review of Log Away 🏡
A design-led cabin builder with beautiful locations and strong photo mode tools!
A solid 4/5 for me, slightly held back by fiddly controls, but a great choice if you want something genuinely relaxing.
