Hi cuties! Since I’m new here…

My name is Emily and I co-host the indie game podcast No Small Games!!

You can also find me writing game reviews for the NSG site, streaming indies on Twitch, and committing acts of general nonsense elsewhere online!

Would love to make friends and talk games 💜

Thank you!! So I’ve heard 😁 I’m actually super stoked to continue, and really glad that there’s so much left to be discovered about the story and lots of puzzles yet to be solved! I think I’d be heartbroken if it was just over now

I mean, I definitely recommend checking it out again! I also definitely get how it might feel a little daunting to go back to. I started in April, played more in June/July, and then returned to it this week, and there was definitely a period of needing to ramp back up

Obsessed over? Yeah, I gotchu 😂

Emily Merritt | No Small Games @aspecificegg.bsky.social · 1d

Nooooooo that’s heartbreaking 😭

Blue Prince really got under my skin and into my head, and now it has my whole heart. This may be one of my top 10 favorite games of all time 💜

And on the 19th day… she made it to Room 46 🚪

Shoutout to the Foyer for being my last draft pick and creating the most epic approach possible

Screenshot from the game Blue Prince, of a stately hall, lined with regal busts on each side and two stone statues of hands pointing towards the open doorway at the end of the hall. Beyond the doorway is another door marked 46

This game means so much to me, and I think will to many, many people 💜

Thanks to @popagenda.co for the chance to review it 🙏

"It gives context to the fictional Jenny’s struggles and shows that the antidote to a highly regimented life slowly falling into shambles doesn’t involve more organization or tidiness."

The graphic shows a laptop with a screenshot of the review on the No Small Games website, with key art from the game, showing an illustrated teenage girl with a bob haircut, in various poses including eating an egg, doing exercises and posing in the mirror.

A national treasure, is what! I learned at age 9 that I like both science AND procedural legal dramas 😂

This week of streams has very cool things going on. A few notes:
- We'll only do 30 min of Sopa then start Greak: Memories of Azur
- I'm ending stream at noon on Tuesday to go see One Battle After Another, alone, with a giant coke zero
- Friday morning will rule. I am so stoked for this surprise!

Stream schedule for the week. On the left are the dates and times and the right has corresponding images for what will happen each stream.
