Amanda @ The Indie Game Cafe

I am working on like, eleven things at the moment, one of them is playing through Perfect Tides: Station to Station from @meredithgran.com, and while I'm far from being a teenager again, I feel like Mara and I are currently sharing the same headspace.

April 2nd let’s goooooooo!

So stoked to play the final product. 💜

Lost and Found Co. Review: Secrets, Surprises, and Cozy Vibes - The Indie Game Cafe Charming & colorful, Lost and Found Co. blends hidden object puzzles with cozy decorating as you help a dragon goddess save her shrine, one lost item at a time.

This one is just a cozy good time, even if the hint system can be a little meh. IT'S JUST SO DANG COLORFUL. And funny. ♥️ #indiegame @lostandfoundco.bsky.social

INDIE WORLD!

Four years ago I finished the main story of Horizon Forbidden West for the first time, and for the ♾️ time, I’m begging for the next chapter of the story.

Patrick also wrote/performed the theme song for Netflix’s Hot Wheels Let's Race, and I’ll forever be grateful I can still blast Fall Out Boy around my seven year old and he thinks it’s the best 🤣

My IRL boss is in Florida, leaving me as the resident grown-up this week, really cramping my style 🤣

Major props to @deck.blue for being able to do links this way! <3

I'm expanding on certain demos I really, REALLY liked but it's slow going at the moment, but I dropped this article this morning about ten you really need to try.

And follow this link for all my eventual Next Fest shenanigans. For which there will be many.

Put this on your list to play before #SteamNextFest is over. The art is gorgeous, and it serves the game's story so damn well. And the music? Chef’s kiss. I thoroughly enjoyed all the puzzles, and I cannot wait to experience the full game. #indiegame

It's clear I'm not going to be able to play everything I want to this week for #SteamNextFest. CURSE REAL LIFE FOR ONLY HAVING 24 HOURS IN A DAY.

Here's a thread of games that either aren't really in my wheelhouse but I know other folks will enjoy:

First up: Out of the Blue's Call of the Elder Gods!

Happy #SteamNextFest Eve!

I'll be live tomorrow between 8:30 and 9am Central with some demos.

Yes, Jack scored the game winner but this legend opened up the scoring for the U-S-A 😎

Also: sometimes it just feels awesome to lay on your bed at 11:30 in the morning.

(After cleaning the bathrooms and some light video editing 😂)

Who can get me more hours in a day? March is so stacked, y’all 😊

The Xbox news is crazy. Not that Phil is retiring (he’s been at Microsoft almost as long as I’ve been alive), but that Sarah is leaving too. I always thought she was incredibly savvy and well-spoken.

Thank you, indie game devs, for taking me to my happy place today

Finishing up with the new Moomintroll: Winter's Warmth Demo after a short break!

We ball. Is that what the kids say?

Anyway, the new @waxheadsgame.bsky.social demo first!

BRB getting this framed 😂
