🔍 Lost and Found Co. is an ADORABLE hidden objects game, out today!! (thanks @lostandfoundco.bsky.social for the key!)

🏔️ Laysara: Summit Kingdom recently had its 1.0 launch so we’re checking out some new scenarios!

✨ twitch.tv/elliejoypanic ✨

Got a blood test next week. Thankfully the GP I've been seeing for years is really nice, empathetic and at least makes me feel listened to (a low bar and yet...). We'll see what those results bring (nothing I suspect but 🤷🏻‍♂️)

ah the Amplitude games, responsible for so many knackered controller shoulder buttons but also totally worth it

Congrats on the launch! 🥳

It's £6.80/$8 with the launch discount and personally I love a little 2 hour game I can play in between bigger games 😊

I think I mentioned before but I playtested this and it is a very charming scrapbook game with some gentle puzzling. It's a coming of age story about friendships, getting older and how those relationships evolve. It took me about 2 hours and in my humble opinion it is a lovely experience.

Going to the doctor's tomorrow because the last few months I've felt like my fatigue has got worse and I'm already looking forward to them doing some blood tests and not really finding anything different and then I cry 🥲

Had a great time with Act 1, the atmosphere was awesome and I loved sci-fi powerwashing. Looking forward to the conclusion of the story

Act Two arrives this year... as a free update for all existing owners! ✨

We've got an incoming message from studio director @joelburgess.bsky.social! Get your first look at what comes next for Ambrosia Sky. 🪐

My incredible mod @argowizbang.com has had some unfortunate things happen the last few months and could use some help.

I know it's a rough time for everyone so even shares are appreciated.

I really enjoyed the first game so I've been looking forward to the sequel!

Hey loves, sharing this again; An unexpected bill has hit me so I'm looking for approx. £130 or this as soon as possible (It just keeps coming I stg)

CALX on Steam Flow across the WARP-corrupted planet Syro. Master movement as the Seeker. Double jump, dash, levitate and grapple through atmospheric ruins. Scan, solve puzzles, and engage in measured combat in wave...

CALX - Found this interesting. The traversal was responsive and fun and the combat varied things with a mix of ranged and melee attacks depending on the enemies.

World feels empty and lonely (intentionally) and the music adds to that feeling too

1348 Ex Voto on Steam Journey through a tumultuous Medieval Italy as Aeta, a young knight errant who sets off on a brutal quest to find and save her closest one. 1348 Ex Voto is a cinematic action-adventure game inspired b...

1348 Ex Voto - Short so hard to get a feel for it really. I like the acting and considering it appears to be made by a small studio it looks nice. Combat felt a bit basic and repetitive but this is early in the game so I'm hoping it gets a bit more interesting

Find Your Words on Steam Find your community at summer camp, one friendship at a time. Take a beat, enjoy a breath of fresh air - all while playing at the beach, strolling in the woods, and dancing with friends. This short co...

Find Your Words - This feels like it is going to be very charming and cute. You play as a non-verbal kid going to summer camp and you communicate with a binder of symbols. The demo isn't very long but gives you a taste of how it works

have also updated my Kofi goal again for teef stuff, I have £750 to pay for the 3 fillings I need, I can cover £500 of it, but I'm losing my job either this month or next month so won't be able to cover the rest 😭

Wax Heads - Tonight I learnt that I shouldn't work in a record store recommending records to people.

It was late and I was tired so that is my excuse and I did better on the final day. Seems like it will have a fair amount of story and it's also pretty gay 🏳️‍🌈

Dosa Divas - Been looking forward to this for a while because I really enjoyed their previous game Thirsty Suitors.

Turn-based RPG with a story that looks like it's going to very anti-capitalism. There's a cooking mini-game and fishing so what more is needed?

Impeccable vibes to chill out to. You arrange a Queer Dating event in the demo 🏳️‍🌈

Hell yeah meg lore! 😄

Watching the Arsenal game delayed so only just had the pleasure of nearly dying at the Chelsea offside goal at the end 🫠

Forbidden Solitaire on Steam Forbidden Solitaire is a card-slashing horror game about unearthing the contents of a cryptic 1995 CD-ROM that should have never existed. From the creators of Ancient Enemy and Home Safety Hotline.

Forbidden Solitaire - You find a copy of Forbidden Solitaire that you weren't allowed to play as a kid. You play rounds of a form of solitaire to move through a dungeon and fight enemies and meanwhile your sibling is messaging you about the game. Enjoyed this

Seems incredibly daft to me that that's a penalty *and* a red card

Maybe it’s because I’m a colonial historian but so many of these white nation states seem to behave exactly like they did in the 19th century: ‘your leaders aren’t right for you,’ ‘we’re only killing you/colonizing you/installing puppet leaders for your own good’
