We’re waiving itchio's platform fee on all transactions across the site for 8 more hours! You still have time to check out your recommendations and pick up something new!

it sucks that itchio and steam allow these games on their platform at all. Sure, it's nice that they have to be tagged (which I'm sure many aren't) and I know that itch doesn't have the manpower to properly execute a full ban, but I want better of steam. The amount of scams on there is concerning...

I love adding "..." , ... -bubbles and wait commands - gotta keep the player in suspense. πŸ‘οΈ And it's funny when CCs read it outloud as "dot dot dot"

idk why this concept is difficult to grasp for a lot of people and doesn't take priority over wether or not liking wizards makes you a good person. Dont give her money! The money funds evil! its truly that simple

Switching over to playing Kana.exe by @hatoge.itch.io ! A Y2K mystery horror game inspired by Yume Nikki and DDLC? Sounds like my dream game!

There are few things in this world I fear... but busses? THAT'S real horror!

Join me tonight for a shorter stream as I voice act and play through @hatoge.itch.io's Line 88 for the very first time! The game's art seems super pretty, and I'll always adore a good indie title~!

(last jam game until I get at least one full release game out, not forever LOL Idk why I phrased it that dramatically...)

Also I know I've said this before, but I actually mean it this time: This will be my last jam game. I'm working on multiple full releases so they will get my full attention now 😣 (+ bachelor project is coming up soon yuck)

I know this is a terrible sales tactic, which is why I'm making a seperate post, but please don't expect a super deep or polished story from Fairy nook. This was a uni assignment that was originally more of an art installation than an actual game; but I thought people might still want to play it

Also since I tend to make cute but scary games, this one is not. There is one scene that's a little scary if you're scared of spiders, but the game has a bugphobia mode that hopefully fixes that haha (This screenshot shows what the flies look like with bugphobia turned on, the spider looks similar)

This was originally a projection mapping assignment for my last winter semester, but I added some new content over the past week and polished it up so I can publish it for trans rep jam :D

Screenshot from a game of 2 faries in a book nook. In a textbox it says: "When Celest awoke, they were in an unfamiliar environment."

Since this is the internet and people love to interprete things in bad faith, I've put problematic in quotations, not because I don't think they are, but because I think calling something problematic without exploring how and why is stupid and exactly at the center of this whole dilemma.

What makes this even worse is that Misfiction is a SFW *parody* of these "problematic" tropes that are being pursued right now. Hot take, but I don't think censoring any kind of discussion of a topic, no matter the context, is healthy actually.

23.08.2025 15:18 πŸ‘ 17 πŸ” 1 πŸ’¬ 1 πŸ“Œ 0

Misfiction has been delisted. Because of a kidnapping and stalking content warning (I'm guessing). There's no sexual content in it, hell, it hardly even classifies as a horror game, that's how tame it is. Meanwhile I have listed games with torture and cannibalism in them. (Which is mentioned in CW)

i feel in love with mistrick every since the game's release, and while it stuck with me the longest, all of hatoge's works have greatly inspired me as an artist for the past few years, as it's become pretty much an yearly tradition for me to draw john and chase.

Aaaa this is awesome! I love the composition and pose πŸ‘ Also omg you're the one who drew the mistrick barbie prison meme! Thank you for all the support over the years and all those gorgeous drawings of my boys πŸ₯Ί Can't believe it's been 3 years since Mistrick birth already, time passes so fast...
