I've been imbued with a special kind of magic lately because every game, TV show, web series I've been diving into lately have all since announced a reboot/sequel/comeback. So I guess I'm off to replay Ace Attorney lol
A Steam Next Fest promo image with a tall yellow tower, strange but somehow heavenly. A pixel angel and demon, as well as several shiny resources icons decorate the text. Angel Clicker by oldflowerGames.
Angel Clicker ๐๐ฅ๐ is coming to Next Fest! ๐ชฝ
It's Heaven vs. Hell in the annual Soul-Catching Contest. An incremental clicker with (optional) rhythm elements. Build, collect, get attacked by aliens... go on a date?!

Screenshot of a chat between me and my mom and it's just her sending me Yuzuru Hanyu gifs
My mom speaks exclusively in Yuzuru Hanyu gifs to tell me food is ready
When I found out our landlord illegally entered our place without prior permission when she knew we were away for CNY, I had a whole presenting evidence and objection moment in the group chat and the whole time Ace Attorney BGM was playing in my head like DO-DO-DO-DODODO
Thank you so much!!! Can't wait to show everyone :)
The funny thing about writing as a medium is that it's so hard to plant a detail subtly. Whenever I see a line like "He decides it's probably nothing" that's an immediate tip-off to the fact that IT'S DEFINITELY NOT NOTHING
So excited to be working with Wings on our new game!!! Let's get ready for the ball๐๐๐
gaming is only books if the game has a defined ending and then you sit back and think about it
read soulsov!!!! i'm good at art and storytelling and i want to share my fun world and its many freaks with you. at least play the free demo! gigidigi.itch.io/soulsov

The people (me) yearn for more roguelike deckbuilders with unique art direction plz
I feel personally attacked by this post
As a translator, sometimes I get mad at whoever wrote the game for coming up with a truly stupid amount of puns, and then I remember it was me, I wrote the game
๐Aw thank you!
Games on Steam and consoles don't have to get a license, so we don't have to censor stuff unlike mobile. However, it is true that the official approval process is very opaque and lacks clear guidelines, so game studios sometimes are more overzealous when it comes to self-censoring.
Dance of Theseus' game launch page. "New game" button is a hand grabbing a golden apple, "continue" is the brain attached to a nervous system, "Settings" is torso with internal organs, and "exit" is a wing extended
In keeping with the theme, all buttons on Dance of Theseus' title page are symbolized by body parts.

Tiny Chef christmas video with auto-captioning saying "But I just want to kill you tonight".
Whoa Tiny Chef are you sure
A black and white body made of whale-like skeleton, with long veils, evoking the image of a Victorian Widow. Text says: "Grieving is an experience, but mourning is a performance."
Death Becomes Her.
